Gravity, my love
Pulls me to Mother Earth's lap
To be just like her.

Lotus You Are
Silently I pass by,
You gracefully nod to me
Like my mom waving hand at me.
Lotus,
You're there observing me
And others living so busy.
You're mute witnessing
How hectic human's life can be,
No second can be wasted
To earn
Yet every breath is missed
To learn.

in silence witnessing life
Lotus
From a muddy jar
She emerges for the sun
To greet, kiss and hug.

Perfect Imperfection
Is life abundant?
She asked.
They said,
When you have everything.
She walked away,
There was never everything
In imperfection.
She says.
Life is generous.
They say,
Because you have everything.
She walks away,
There is never perfection
In everything.
Life is abundant,
She agrees.
They ask,
Do you have everything? You are not perfect.
She walks away,
There is always perfection
In anything imperfect.

anger has long gone but sadness is still lingering like a hungry fox hunting a chicken 🙃 yet life is so generous to me offering sweet imperfection and simplest perfection that might be just a dream for those perfect perfection — so thank you as always! 💝
giving myself time and space to live again 💝
Words
I know, Beloved,
Those words are leaves falling down,
Decayed before you.

Jika kita lahir dan tumbuh sebagai kata-kata,
saya akan selalu menggarisbawahi kamu
seperti kata yang saya anggap penting,
meski kamu nanti mencetak miring saya
seperti kata yang tak dikenal dan asing. (part of a poem by Adimas Immanuel)
Flower Buddy
Say hi to colours
Sent by the beauty across
The sea. Thanks, buddy!

Flowers from a colleague who has the same hobby, working accompanied by flowers. A touch of cheerfulness boosts the immunity.
Thanks, MZ!
Lotus History
How are you, Lotus?
Your beauty was raised by mud.
Do you remember?

Life story needs foundation. It is often time a bog of mud.
One Afternoon Of A Tortoise
In the pond of one botanical garden, Ms. Tortoise was enjoying a warm day – oops warm enough to call it hot and she so much wanted to emerge to the surface. Swam, swam and swam…. Diving to see if she could see other fellow swimmers coming around. Oh, no one!
Ok, far ahead huge saucers are clustering. Maybe I can just perch for a while on one of them, thought Ms. Tortoise.
Swam, swam and swam…. Circling around some saucers which are actually leaves of water lily celebrating the sun ray.
Hop! Hop! Not easy for a tortoise to hop to something. Not easy, but doable. Yups!
Hmmm…. Ms. Tortoise saw on the leave wasn’t better than beneath the water. Ms. Tortoise decided to swim, swim, and swim away…. Enjoy the day! 🙂

Water lily in Borobudur
A small terra-cotta bowl with water
And water lily plant is resting on it
Blooming; blossoms are happy under the sun
Emitting the spirit of eternity – living without dying, how? Spreading good deed and love to the globe….
The leaf is so near with the mud…. Living so close to the dirt – down to earth
The color…. so brightly graceful – ignoring where it grows.
See it close…. Details of water lily stun me.
Life is about composing a beautiful friendship by living to the fullest with the outstanding quality of each of the person….
There was a time when I was so enclosed, look so plain and insecure, hidden in my firm unreadiness to reveal my own self.
And, there was a time when I was so aware of my tainted body.
And, when all is done, who can deny the beauty?
Oh there was something, bothering? Sometimes…. But it was just a bug, a virus named insecure friend visiting once in a while to feel the revealing security.
Ooohhhhhh Ms. Sun, are you so radiant showering me so much light? Thank you….
All pictures were taken on September 7, 2014 in Borobudur Museum, Magelang, Indonesia.
