Coron Island: things they don’t tell you on the tour
<p>When you swim in a Coron lake or lagoon, you are surrounded by walls of limestone some 50 meters high or more. They are like cement facades of skyscrapers without windows, half-submerged and rising from the depths, 50 to 80 meters below. There were moments when we weren’t surrounded by tourists where I’d find myself floating in peace, looking up at the cliffs, and trees, wondering how it all got there. It was like I was in a basilica full of water, whose ceilings were the sky and heaven itself. The silence came not from prayer, but the challenges to see and preserve such beauty. No person, religion, or government can construct something like Coron Island. Which is why we tend to come up with gods and spirits to help explain such things.</p>
