520			_aThis book is entitled Colors of Light because it reflects the true essence of Auntie Lucing's life story for many valid reasons. For just as the brightness of light is a spectrum of multiple colors., so is Auntie Lucing's life an array of hues and shades that speaks of the many roles she has significantly played and virtuosly embodied through the years. Even at the ripe age of ninety-two, Auntie Lucing exudes a bright luminescence of positive energy, vibrancy, and intellect. She always has a radiance the refuses to be extinguished throughout her life's ups and downs. Her smiling eyes that have never aged in sharpness...are windows to the consummate impressionist painter and poetess in her soul. Ever-supportive wife of an equally exemplary diplomat, she promoted Filipino ingenuity wherever she went around the world. She served not only as an ambassador-at-large of Philippine arts and culture and goodwill, but also as a model of the priceless virtues of modesty, simplicity, and generosity, natural to a true-blue Filipiniana and full-blooded Ilokana.
