Pahlawan

Setiap orang adalah pahlawan. Entah bagi orang lain ataupun bagi dirinya sendiri. Setiap orang adalah pahlawan. Mereka berjuang menolak untuk menyerah.

Pahlawan bukanlah mereka yang memiliki kekuatan luar biasa dan menguasai dunia dengannya. Namun mereka yang berani menggunakan kelebihannya untuk berkorban.

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.

Since this recent time has been quite still, flowing with no significant wave, I will start to write again. I hope.

Wahai cermin ajaib di dinding, akulah yang tercantik

Gambar
Langit biru. Awan putih. Cermin bening. Bening sebening hatimu sebelum terkotori asap. Asap polusi hati. Ya, polutan " kata mereka " yang merecoki kebeningan hatimu.

Kata mereka rambutmu kurang ini dan kulitmu kebanyakan itu; gigimu surplus nikotin-kafein dan matamu kehilangan sinar; perutmu mabuk lemak dan betismu jadi kabar buruk buat maling mangga depan rumah. Disingkat, kata mereka dirimu di depan cermin itu tak sempurna. Lantas? Ini mantraku: alih-alih menjadi racun, polutan "kata mereka" dapat diperlakukan seperti limbah terolah; yang bisa diproses dan dijadikan bahan daur ulang tepat guna. Tak perlu ditelan mentah-mentah, diolah. Tantang cerminmu itu sembari memoles ketaksempurnaan yang menjadi titik krisis percaya dirimu. Tak perlu usaha berlebih hingga merusak jati dirimu. Ber...

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 grou...
