A 5.9 × 4.4-inch photograph of Papa Isio from the Harry H. Bandholtz Papers, Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan. He is framed by two followers in a Bacolod prison, circa 1907.
Papa Isio was born as Dionisio Magbuelas on March 20, 1846 and was an anti-colonial rebel and babaylan (i.e. Visayan shaman) during the Negros Revolution who, in response to land loss, lead a group of other babaylans in the cause for nationalistic agrarian reform. At one point in time Papa Isio fled the Spanish authorities during which, according to Modesto P. Sa-onoy, he may have joined Dios Buhawi, a fellow Negrense and babaylan leader who once waged a politico-religious revolt against the Spanish in the late nineteenth century. Papa Isio’s own nom de guerre was an appropriation of the Santo Papa’s title and a repudiation of his and the Church’s authority.
Papa Isio was eventually cornered not by the Spanish but by American forces. He surrendered to Lieutenant J.S. Mohler on August 6, 1907 and died in Manila’s Old Bilibid Prison sometime in 1911, before which he may be regarded as the last revolutionary standing “who was consistent in his fight against the Spaniards and the Americans.”
Since his death, Papa Isio has been commemorated with a statue in Cauayan, Negros Occidental and was featured in the artwork “The Spiritual Landscape of Papa Isio” by Riel Hilario.

Quote
There are times in our lives when we know that our inspirations are coming from something beyond the personality. These visions come from a land beyond the physical, even beyond words. They are concepts we have no words for, we have only our inner knowing. The personality moves over and we find ourselves relying upon something beyond the five senses or logic.

"Death is our eternal companion. It is always to our left, at an arm's length... It has always been watching you. It always will until the day it taps you."
"How can anyone feel so important when we know that Death is stalking us?"
"The thing to do when you're impatient is to turn to your left and ask advice from your Death. An immense amount of pettiness is dropped if your Death makes a gesture to you, or if you catch a glimpse of it, or if you just have the feeling that your companion is there watching you."
"Death is the only wise adviser that we have. Whenever you feel, as you always do, that everything is going wrong and you're about to be annihilated, turn to your Death and ask if that is so. Your Death will tell you that you're wrong; that nothing really matters outside its touch. Your Death will tell you, 'I haven't touched you yet.'"
- Journey To Ixtlan

This little stinker decided I need a front door greeting when I got to the barn yesterday. Apparently there's not enough grass in the pasture, so he had to jump the 5 foot fence to graze outside. He's a pain in my ass, but freaking gorgeous and so lucky I love him
