I don't know what everyone else thought of it, but being humble is beauty. Not being humble because you know it some short of a good social conducts - but because you yourself are humble by its own origin. Its not a fake made of social orders.

Being humble without prior reasoning, then you are the most charming humble itself.

Anger Management

Coming at ya!, a photo by tammyjq41 on Flickr.

I know, anger can come to me easily, I know exactly when he comes and knocks my door beyond my conscious.

Then again, I would imagine myself stands in front of a big mirror, and sees how ridiculous of me being angry. So its casted away.

I know when saying, you - yourself - the most powerful spell to cast anger away.

The Only Heritage is Love

What would you give to your son or daughter, you can give everything you have - but if you have no love, then there will be no actual care for them to take.

But, even if you have nothing but a last breath and love, both of them could be the last miracle - as a meaningful heritage for the next generation.

Life is Beyond Miracle

Because when one would care other so much, he would take more burden the he could take. Careful when facing danger ahead, because life is precious.

So then, life is beyond miracle.

Stay High Stay Low

There wouldn't be a high place, without the low. There will be no you without others.

Life is about stay high in the same as stay low. Concern about the form, and you may found the formless.

Seek your path, but create it for others. Accept the life, as the same you won't hold it tight when the time comes to let it goes.

Into A Calmness

Meditation in the Deer-Park, a photo by h.koppdelaney on Flickr.

If you walk gently into a calmness, you'll find the unexplained formless form of each reality and fantasy, both in the world and your mind.

Perhaps you shall found no clarity, no miracle, nothing to blast the hard shell of your prime wish. Perhaps you shall found nothing, but a long, endless emptiness.

If you really wish to walk into a calmness, put down everything that weight you. Lighting your steps, unwavering your soul, and listen to your voyage. That is all, then let us walk into calmness.

The Way I Look, The Way I Love

Morpheu, a photo by Fernando Felix on Flickr.

I look at you, so the love isn't only words after words.

I look at you, then the love won't let me move from you.

I look at you, may the love stay just like this forever after.

The way I look (at you), the way I love (you).

Life Can Be Upside Down

Don't worry, there is time when you see life just upside down.

Well, our eyes always see life as upside down image, only our brain doesn't agree with it.

Now perhaps, your brain has agreeing you, so the world is upside down :).

A Little Right to Live

Even you are the smallest bug on earth, the right to live is still your very first right above this earth.

I know perhaps there were moments when you cough within bug extermination process, since there are people think life of others as not equal as their own pleasure.

Trust me, not all people understand "a little right to live" that is equal for every living thing. In this world where we can't hide this fact, I wish we find our place to live our life fully.

I am the moon over the calm sea

Moon and sea, infinite calm, a photo by Ahio on Flickr.

I am the moon over the calm sea, the wind reach the other sore softly.

I am the moon over the calm sea, the still rock would be my buddy.

I am the moon over the calm sea, yet I won't make you see the sky gets cloudy.

Yes, I am everything you can see, since I am the moon above the calm sea.

Life as A Big Mirror

Have you ever find that everything outside there were here in yourself?

Anger, agony, desperation, sorrow, happiness, joy, bliss and love - everything! That happen out there, happen within as well.

Reflect the world in you, and you in the world, only after that we may see, that we are the world.

Spring Your Heart

Colors of Spring, a photo by njchow82 on Flickr.

A good friend of mine ever said, "if you feel down, just spring your heart. If you find anger, just spring your heart. If you fell into desperation, nothing better than spring your heart."

Perhaps the words are softer and lighter than reality, but that is all we need to face a life - spring our heart!

Its all about being human, so I would agree, everyone, and you, you should spring your heart.

Seeing is Believing

2012-03-21T17:28:00.001+07:00

They say you would believe if you already seeing it, but there's just one without a capability to see clearly. This puppy in my hand perhaps doesn't see clearly yet, but what make him so calm. Is he believing me? Yet he can't see me.

I think there must be something than just seeing, as people would say, eyes can be so deceiving.

Fly Me to the Moon

Supermoon [Explored], a photo by feradz on Flickr.

I think it was a line from old song - can't remember it though. But yes, everybody has their own dream, and something it became a shared dream - a nation's dream, just like when the first lunar land back decades ago.

But still, fly me to the moon something sound dreamful, since not all of us can fly to the moon.

When a condition still unreachable for many people, we call it a "dream" :).

Field of Lights

Paraíso, a photo by Pedro Lacerda - Le Monsieur on Flickr.

Walk beyond the each sunshine arrives here. I would feel like living another century again. The peace gazing upon the closet heaven. Yes, I'd like to say, I am here on the field of lights.

A prevented happiness

2012-02-02T15:47:00.001+07:00

Have you ever said to yourself that you shouldn't be this happy? Or in other words, you've prevent happiness came to your life, and perhaps denying the current happy moment?

I don't know, perhaps out there are people who just wish to see other live unhappy life. But for you to prevent your own happiness it would such a waste. There must be a big reason or a great barrier that prevent to flow of happiness, which makes acceptance is nearly a miracle. Perhaps its a guilt, or another simple nightmare.

But disturbing the flow of genuine or rather natural happiness in your life would be no different than doing it to other. A prevented happiness gives nothing but simple empty self satisfaction to anybody who made it happen.

A Higher Sun

2012-02-01T13:36:00.001+07:00

I know that scientists already found planets that orbiting more a single sun (read: star). I wonder if our planet has twin or double suns. Would a day becomes brighter?

Then I am wondering if my heart has two suns, then would my life becomes brighter? Well, I soon put that question aside. I am now quite happy with flickering candle in the dark.

The Hardest Thing

2012-01-24T00:34:00.001+07:00

I have thought all this time, that the hardest think above this earth perhaps not a diamond, but to change someone or one self.

When you try to change yourself into a better one, perhaps it will be the hardest thing you ever face. You can fail and fail again, you can run and try again, yet you find that you have move nowhere from where you started.

I don't know, perhaps everything has their own time, or perhaps every understanding need their own moment to knock your heart, in time where a change shall occur naturally. No body know, not even you when you were busy struggling with your own self.

What is Silent

2012-01-04T20:38:00.000+07:00

A student comes to his master and asking, "master what is silent".

His master stays still.

The next day, he asks the same question, and the master still stays on the same stillness.

One day he got bored and says, "master why don't you tell me what is silent?".

The master smiles and says, "I did show you all the time, didn't you see it?".

Then the pupil realize his mistake. He only pursued answer but not reality about silent. Something that can not be share, isn't silent - but something that can be share - still isn't silent. By negating all this, there is a silent.

Live Across the Edge

2011-12-15T07:10:00.001+07:00

If you are just a small living thing in a strange big world, what you would you do if even the edge is still unknown.

Would you like to try to cross the edge of unknown? Living there so you can see everything that you never see - even when your lifespan perhaps won't permit it.

We are just a small living thing at all. It is nothing wrong neither right by live across the edge.

Temporary Knowledges

2011-11-24T18:34:00.001+07:00

Somehow, I wonder, why we are pursuing knowledge, when we know its only for a temporary.

Morning Calmness

2011-11-21T08:02:00.000+07:00

Whenever my time to get every morning sunshine a touch, there always a blossom of this water lily. It is my morning sanctuary blessed upon a morning calmness.

Nothing in Common

2011-10-19T20:58:00.001+07:00

Perhaps we’ve live surrounded with everything or people those have nothing in common with our self. Perhaps, we’ve live by seeing everything are so different. But, what is wrong with being different?

Well, we (mostly) will meet person with some peculiar character that we never ever imagine before. But, the problem would be, how far we can accept being different, someone with nothing in common, how far we would open our self to this world?

Can you love of being different, or can you say it love if only wish everything as you desire?

Let It Goes

2011-10-18T17:13:00.001+07:00

I think I nearly always here those simple world inside my head. Perhaps since my life are too complex, sometimes I got a hard time to swallow those words.

The more we attached to something, it would be harder to let it goes. The pain, suffering, agony are everything those occur naturally.

And the more our effort, struggle, the more negative feeling blooms inside.

Then, I think, if we can not see clearly that we are attached at all, we can't wish to end the nature of attachment itself.

Wisdom is started, when we being honest with our self, with our attachments.

A New Meeting

2011-10-16T14:11:00.001+07:00

Somehow, its feel very nostalgic when we met an old friend, even just by words of instant text. The world becomes smaller by our innovations in communications technology.

People no longer meeting face by face, by looking at a bright screen of a computerized devices, and typing "hi".

I wonder how much we have change this world in past century. And how it will be in next century. I think, we'll always have a new meeting.
