Cooked

Rice is cooked to be rice. It’s the same name, yet not the same. Raw then cooked—

sometimes you know someone is cooking you; just pretend you don’t know that you’re being cooked and feel your own love

(In)Visible Monster

Not under the bed, it’s what she’s slept with since she was a cute baby.

I am obviously my own monster; haunting, hunting me forever will be 💝 the best company ever

Love Day

What is love day? 
A day when love is precious?
Only once a year?
How stingy human being is!
To express love only on that day—

Maybe they are afraid
Of saying love to
That they love dearly.

Maybe expression is
Embarrassing and too low
That they dump it cruelly.

Maybe love is considered a myth
Scientifically unproven
That it is skipped.

Maybe….
So much maybe.

I will still love
You
In silence
As
Love has made my heart pretty
Although rejection and ignorance
Once made it ugly.

All days are my love days.

To my
Beloved—

learned love from texts
looked for it everywhere
found it in beauty
the love keeps evaporating to the air that is breathed
melting to the water that is sipped
repeatedly exploding to illuminate the journey
let me sing love songs in silence to and for you
and sweetly silently celebrate it when i’m wishing to be

Singing Heart

This heart sings. Its notes witness through pitch and tempo. Genres of the soul—

whatever the story is, i’ll tell it musically

Well Done

The wind flies dry leaves to where travel’s light and memory’s full. Well done—

big lunch before big laundry — well done!
ready mussels
done!
roasting potato
on medium fire, don’t add water
sauté
(not so) fresh green mussels
carrot & celery
garlic & ginger
big basket of laundry after big lunch 😊 well done!

Greed

All have right to live, yet some by greedily eating up others. Sigh.

the rose apple leaves in my front yard are helplessly eaten up by locusts
the tree is not as productive as before but the fruits are still sweet and fresh….
….and so many flowers are coming out, ready to bloom

Broken

What’s broken’s broken until connected again. Never be the same—

one of my gorgeous ceramic plates was broken; now i’m thinking of learning how to fix it

Floating So High

Keeping afloat, buoyant freely swaying playing the waves in the sky—

Coldplay never fails me

I’m Ready

Tell the sun rising and setting that I’m ready anytime: morning, night and day— to present what’s best in my humble life.

💗 welcoming rising sun
💗 escorting the sun to sleep
💕 you can destroy the branches but you can’t kill the tree with healthy roots
💕 so full and filled

Those Love Around

You don’t need so much love to find love around. Make it with a little love.

playing buddies
mama dog 💕
cool
like a log
slurp!
can you spot 2 cats?
one guarding a headless god
strolling
my Bob looks like this one 💗
brrr!
tux cat on carpet
ginger waiting for lunch

Journey

A journey starts. A journey ends. A route is colourful when observed—

up!
up!
up!
up!
down….
ready to land!

A Loving Visit

A loving visit beyond time and space. Salaam. Universe answers.

Written

Written on this soul, your footsteps making sweet songs sung by the green birds.

Travel

Travel light is fun,
With so little to carry.
Prancing deer,
Safe in the forest,
No tiger,
No bear,
Just green and breeze.

Travel full is peace,
With all so prepared.
Walking elephant,
Graceful in the desert,
No hyena,
No lion,
Just sun and breeze.

Let’s travel
With light heart,
Flying eagle,
Free in the high,
No storm,
No lightning,
Just blue and breeze.

Let’s travel
With full heart,
Humming alpaca,
Peaceful in the hill,
No distress,
No agitation,
Just earth and breeze.

distracted between travel light and travel full 🥸
decided with travel full 😎 so full!

Your Eyes

Your eyes, Beloved
Drown me to a depth of soul
Where you hide nowhere.

are your eyes still the same? 😍 sometimes you need to change your profile picture to show how your eyes wise up 😍

CNY Is An Inch Away

Another new year with another long weekend. Added holiday—

most of us will take a leave to have a longer break esp combined with CNY holiday — i’ve gotta start packing 😍 Happy (another) New Year! dream come true!
seeing solanum in a flower arrangement is rare blessings
2023 is my year; major dreams come true! 💝

It Does Well

It sways flexibly
In stormy days.
It grows calmly
In sunny days.
It roots perennially
In the meadow.

It sings;
It hums;
It mutes;
It sees;
It hears;
It touches;
It tastes;
It smells;
In silence
Perfectly.

It does well.

these flowers survive the storm and continue living in bright days on and on and on between those two situations only through a friendship with the meadow 💝

Charlie Chaplin to Us

Laughter is the breeze caressing the hair waving to the morning sun.

A posting landed on my Instagram’s Home, it was Charlie Chaplin’s small details that are meaningful to me who love to laugh but often fail to make jokes. Most of my jokes are garing (crispy-dry, not funny; Bahasa Indonesia slang). 😁

Salaam.

Sweet Day

Any day can be sweet with some setting on the tongue. Avoid chilli.

was craving for sugar at around 3pm in the office, about to have this…. no no no
this? no no no
decided! chocolate brioche — chocolate never fails me!

Pink Roses

Pink roses in a vase welcome seven cold guests, turning them to smiles.

an innocent staff put these roses in a vase to welcome us; she said the roses were grown in the dorm garden, which we found true; what a sweet gesture 💝 (Nagano, 2014) — we should have smiled more widely to her 😁 see you again this year
