Looking for one face behind the cloud, I meet a smiling sky whispering "Land and meet one while your feet are on the ground."
Dear sky, How paradoxical this dream is! I've dreamt of a perfect angel Only to find that the perfect is a real sample of imperfection. How paradoxical this fear is! I've been afraid of imperfect ghost Only to see that the imperfect is a real specimen of perfection. How paradoxical that both perfection and imperfection reside in the same home!
Step by step I crawl down from the bed And go to the garden Where I guess singing birds are hopping from one swaying twig to another, Butterflies are flying around bright coloured flowers. What I find is silent dews gliding on sleepy leaves, Dragonflies perching on tips of coarse leaves. They're though real and I befriend with a verse of beauty.
Dear sky, Always bring me naked truth with which I can be real.
Thank you.
it’s not where i want to find you; if you’re there, i will immediately leave you because it mustn’t be the real you
Dark sky reveals stars That gleam sending signs of life That glows silently.

i left it in the fridge to fly back to Indonesia on Jul 30 and today arriving home my first after unpacking was heating it up for my lunch and dinner 💕
Weather is changing, Sky isn’t. Furniture does, Space sits still smiling.

No condition changes space. It’s there, might look temporarily conditioned sometimes but simply because some furniture is busy “stirring the air”. And sky is just there being the canvas of weathers which come and go.
It’s fun to observe and silently enjoy each moment of truth.
Salaam.
sky is unconditional, and so is space – whatever happens is just weather that is passing
The sky, Beloved, Layers of defined arches Limiting a range—

Have you ever thought about limit?
What is limit? Who/what has limit? Who/what has no limit? Which is the limit? How to set a limit? Questions that have haunted me for almost all my life! I tried to formulate the answers for almost 20 years and yesterday —just yesterday— a convincing answer reached me like a tap on my shoulders. One of the answer is that with this limitation I can do something that the one with no limit can’t. 💝
This hopefully be a breakthrough in my life.
Thank you!
I’ll rant about the mind blowing answers from a young scholar. Not today; someday when I find the most suitable dictions.
Welcome, new week!
they said this type of cloud is a sign to fishermen that there are a lot of fish around this limited sea area under this type of cloud 👍🏽cotton-like sky, limit….
Your life, Beloved, Isn’t about happiness. Find meanings in it.
————————————————————
When seeing the definition of happiness in most of this life time, I found that many of the items in the bucket were material. Wanting to have this, to buy that, to get $, to add more travel destinations, and so on and so forth. I saw life was a storage of hoarded things.
When doing so, I mostly forgot the importance essence in what I did. Peaceful mind, wise decisions, appreciation to self for working hard, tapping shoulders for being able to control negative emotions, breathing slowly of the air in different places, and so on and so forth. I took it for granted until I found those have given me deeper serenity.
Last week there was time when I felt annoyed with something, giving me back the terrible headache I hadn’t had for so long. I drew the curtain and found that the sky was not collapsed yet then I whispered a thank-you. Gradually I felt calm again and new ideas popped up like bubbles from a fish mouth.
It takes just 3 seconds to bring back good mood.
May all beings be happy.
sometimes what you need to do is just drawing the curtain….…. to see life isn’t about the happiness you define; it’s broader than that, it’s about how your existence is not for nothing 🪶
Happiness and joy are represented by those two children playing in the rice field. Running and laughing, chasing each other in the sloping road…. Framed by terraced land of paddy, roofed with blue sky, and founded on the strong brown soil they enjoy their early journey of life.
