the-riddle

Listen the sardonic story of Antonio de Carlie,
a priest from Brazil who flew with thousand of balloons
He staged the stunt to raise money for his church
it was a foolish things to do, one might say
but I said, why not?
it is good being foolish once in your life
and be free

The news said de Carlie went missing
some of his balloons was found floating
in the Brazilian coast..
but his body was never found..

Somehow, its good to be Carlie
being foolish, believing your faith
being foolish and free
it's expression of love
we are foolish when we are in love
like de carlie..
He might die happy..

so, friends be foolish
be free
and let the wind take you away..



ps: picture taken from reuters photo: its Antonio de Carlie with his balloons. Stunning.

Lullaby and good night, with roses bed night
With lilies o'er spread is baby's wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed

Lullaby and good night, thy mother's delight
Bright angels beside my darling abide
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast


ps: in a memory of a peaceful night :)

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
It does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
—I Corinthians 13:4-8a -

Tidak pernah cukup kata,
melukiskan ini
Sejak dulu
ruang kecil itu
selalu saja kosong
dan cahaya-Mu merayu,
menarikku kembali
dalam pusaran kerinduan yang menyakitkan
melihat kembali, ruang kecil itu
ternyata tidak pernah terisi

Children of the ocean,
I see a boy in both of you
and I am here
feel your both tears
share laugh to your bitter life
i am just here
and feel
never bother me
or ask what i feel
what i don't feel
never try to reach me
or, get rid of me
or share my tears
or share my laugh
it's not what i am here for
Let the angels witness my pain, laugh and tears
But, i feel you both
feel your both pain
feel your both quest
witness you both
just let it be
maybe,
all is love

ps: hopefully, both became triple, dozens, hundred, thousand, million, billion...

Naomi Sosuke*) teaches me something.
You don't need to moan to feel the pain
Hold your tongue, the silent will take over
It teaches you the secret of pain
: silent voices

Mirror cracked,
if you tell her
your shadow

Mirror cracked
if you think
you are more
than your reflection

Miror cracked
if you hit her
with your shameless
vanity
and
desire

Tuhan,

Jika memang duka adalah bagian dari hidupku
Maka perjalankanlah aku kepada-Mu
Dengan itu

Tuhan,
Jika kepahitan cinta adalah bagian dari hidupku
Maka perjalankanlah aku kepada-Mu
Dengan itu

Bebaskan aku dari harapan Tuhanku
Bahkan dari keindahan
Bahkan dari penemuan-penemuan
Bebaskan aku Tuhanku

Dan pertemukanlah aku Dengan-Mu

sm (self-mocking) : kata "kepahitan cinta" dangdut banget .. :))..
ini kaya tulisan2 di tembok WC SMA. a whole rangkaian kata2 ini memang dangdut banget.. he, he..
