The Little Fawn and the Alien Jungle



The Little Fawn was wandering in the Alien Jungle. He was afraid and confused for he had never been separated from his pack before. In a strange but beautiful flower garden, he met a bee.
“Stay away from me, Bee. You are a wicked animal who stings everything around!” said the Fawn.
“I have my sting to sting nothing but those that are harmful to me. Yet I help to spread the stamens so that these flowers bloom beautifully. You enjoy it, don’t you?”
“Of course I do, thank you Bee.”
In a meadow, he met a Worm.
“Stay away from me, Worm. You are a dirty animal that brings misfortune around!” said the Fawn.
“I bring dirt to nothing but my own body. Yet I help to fertilize this soil in which your food grown. You enjoy it, don’t you?”
“Of course I do, thank you Worm.”
When he reached a muddy bush, he met a Crow.
“Stay away from me, Crow. You are a cocky animal that looks down on everything.”
“I have my wings not to conceit. Yet I see things which are unseen from the ground. Now let me guide you back your pack.”
“Thank you, Crow. It is very kind of you.”
Then the Crow led the Little Fawn to get outside the muddy bush until he found his pack again. After saying a short good-bye, the Crow flew away.
“Where have you been?” the other fawn asked.
“I was lost in the Alien Jungle. I met the Bee and the Worm, and the Crow led me back here.”
“You should not get near them. They are wicked, dirty, and cocky creatures!”
“I thought so, but it was just because I didn’t know them well. Now, I am glad to know them.”

Tentang Menengok Rumput Tetangga

Sebentar lagi saya ulang tahun. Ya, pokoknya sebentar lagi. Entah di mana, saya pernah membaca bahwa pada saat bayi manusia membutuhkan tidur yang terbanyak, sekitar 16 jam. Semakin tua, jam tidur akan semakin berkurang. Itu katanya - ada penelitiannya dan sebagainya. Saya membaca artikel tersebut sambil lalu, tetapi saya mulai merasakannya, terutama akhir-akhir ini. Rasa-rasanya sulit sekali jatuh tertidur di malam hari. "Pola makan kali... ", "Makanya olah raga dong...", "Doa, biar hati tenang...", "Ngitung domba coba...", "Aroma terapi...", "Musik-musik yoga..." Kawanku... terima kasih masukannya, tetapi kenyataannya ngomong itu memang lebih gampang daripada melakukan dan merasakan. Yah, apa pun itu, yang jelas setiap malam sepertinya otak saya sibuk sekali - layaknya bocah yang berlarian dan jumpalitan ke sana ke mari tanpa tentu arah. Ini terapi terakhir yang beberapa waktu saya tinggalkan karena tidak ada waktu (baca: ti...

Hospital

It's been a while since last time I wrote things in English. Guess I should put more effort on it now, since I absolutely do not want my English skills to vanish. Hospital. It is not pleasurable to stay there, of course. As a patient. My 'hospitalized experiences' is more than needed, for a person as old as I am. I suppose. I used to grieve so much...now I tend not to care or think much about it. What can you see in a hospital? Sick patients. Exhausted doctors. Anxious families. Overworked cleaning services. Some dedicated some bored staffs. Angels. God of Death. All of the elements are deliberately or not, directly or not, related to life and death. The atmosphere inside is always unique. Mixed of happiness, sadness, hope, desperation, passion, anger, frustration, believing... As I lie down on a hospital bed, I am wondering. How many people died on this bed? How many people survived? How was the feeling of families crying by the bed? Were they losing hope? How could they s...

Graduated

So finally I realized that it was already 2 years ago, the last time I wrote in my blog. I noticed that the last time I wrote was by the time I entered the Grad School. I graduated. I attained my M.A. and now I work as a development worker. Many things happened in 2 years (I cant believe it's just 2 years, it feels like forever). This blog will still be my semi-autobiography. I tell stories that people may or may not want to hear (sorry bout that). I promise someone that I am gonna publish at least a book, in my life. Since this recent time has been quite still, flowing with no significant wave, I will start to write again. I hope.
