Have you ever spent time in your garden, at a park, or on a nature trail and felt like you weren't alone? It could be an animal or it could be a nature spirit.
As animists, pre-colonial Filipino spiritual traditions were that all things have a spirit. As a child, I was taught to tread lightly through the yard and to say "tabi tabi po" or "excuse me" in Tagalog. Whenever I am hiking or camping, I am extremely sensitive to the fact that I am trespassing on someone else's home. This is likely from being taught at a young age this practice of saying excuse me while I walk through nature. It was only a few years ago that I was terrified of all things non-physical. My canon was all ghosts, hauntings, and spooky. This practice of saying "tabi tabi po" was taught to me as a way to be among the nature spirits with respect and reverence for their own existence. It gives them a heads up that you're coming through so that they can find safe coverage. It is believed that if you cause harm to a nature spirit, it could seek revenge on you. After all, nature spirits feel emotions just like us including anger and fear. As a child, my elders must've left out the respect and reverence part of the explanation. It was the fear or retaliation that had me saying excuse me. Have no fear. If we allow unconditional love to guide us and be our flashlight, we can trust that everything happens as divinely planned.
