Senin Hitam

Adakah kamu berduka hari ini ?
orang-orang berkerumun diperempatan
mengais-kais cinta luluh lantak menenteng kamus yang pudar terjemahannya
Disitu waktu layaknya peluru, mengancam, sesekali teriak nyuruh tiarap
Akal sehat diterka tinja yang perlu dibasuh dengan sumpah serapah

Adakah kamu bersedih hari ini ?
Lingkaran hitam bergandeng tangan, menyahut kepedihan terjang-menerjang
Ditengahnya, keranda welas asih dirubung lalat menunggu burung condor lewat
Masihkah sanggup menggumamkan peribahasa ? sementara kata-kata sudah lumat dimangsa karat
Disini, langit tak lagi biru meratap batu-batu merah tergarang

Adakah kamu geram hari ini ?
Ditanah lapang itu, masih ada sisa rintihan, bahkan hujan semalam tak tega menyapunya
doa-doa ditahan malaikat, Orang-orang rebutan Tuhan, anak kecil menangis di hunus pembantaian
lalu negara, masih sibuk dengan pesta pora. Mempersiapkan podium kehormatan lantang menyuarakan kemanusiaan
Dibelakang panggung, bergunjing tentang kematian menghadap meja makan

Adakah kamu hadir hari ini ?
bersulang air mata yang enggan keluar, menggumam kegelisahan sepanjang petang
duduk bersila, ada rumput yang bengis mereka-reka aksara Indonesia yang retak ujung syarafnya
kemana akan pulang, saat ibu pertiwi pingsan dalam jubah hitam
barangkali, pada atap-atap jati meranggas atau paruh garuda menua
kita masih berharap, bhinneka tunggal ika masih dibaca rahmat yang harus dijaga

Adakah kamu terjaga hari ini ?

note. Tulisan seorang karib yang sebagai ungkapan kesedihan atas kejadian pelanggaran HAM khususnya terhadap peristiwa penyerangan thd Ahmadiyah di Pandeglang Senin lalu.

Action is God Creation

ACTIONS are WORDS moving.
WORDS are THOUGHTS expressed.
THOUGHTS are IDEAS formed.
IDEAS are ENERGIES come together.
ENERGIES are FORCES released.
FORCES are ELEMENTS existent.
ELEMENTS are particles of GOD,
portions of all, the stuff of everything.

The beginning is God.
The end is Action.
Action is God Creation..

Neale Donald Walsch - Conversation with God

Here I Love You

Banda Aceh, 18 November 2005

"Here I Love You"
By Pablo Neruda

Here I love you.
In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself.
The moon glows like phosphorous on the vagrant waters.
Days, all one kind, go chasing each other.

The snow unfurls in dancing figures.
A silver gull slips down from the west.
Sometimes a sail. High, high stars.
Oh the black cross of a ship.
Alone.
Sometimes I get up early and even my soul is wet.
Far away the sea sounds and resounds.
This is a port. Here I love you.


Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain.
I love you still among these cold things.
Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels
that cross the sea towards no arrival.
I see myself forgotten like those old anchors.
The piers sadden when the afternoon moors there.
My life grows tired, hungry to no purpose.
I love what I do not have. You are so far.
My loathing wrestles with the slow twilights.
But night comes and starts to sing to me.

The moon turns its clockwork dream.
The biggest stars look at me with your eyes.
And as I love you, the pines in the wind
want to sing your name with their leaves of wire.

illusion of control

We 've seen
how the ego want to fix,
to make things perfect,
to re order someone else's life,
and above all,
to do something to maintain
the illusion of control.

We' ve also seen
that in order to grow in our capacity to care for others,
a completely different response is requaired.

We need to take time
To sit still..
Quiet to mind..
and Listen deeply...
