If

Learning, This Person
If and if, dear love
The silence breaks, I will fly
With true adventure.

if I am to choose an animal to be my daemon, I’ll always choose a cat

I don’t know why; I used to live with a cat in my small home in Indonesia before moving to Singapore, as my job was 75% traveling, I could not bring Bob with me and so my mother took care of him — one year later, he died

I still want a cat some day 💕

if I am to choose what animal I’m to be, it would not be a cat though

maybe dolphin so I can live in the depth of water while playfully jump to the air

me with a plastic of water — when I was a girl, I loved playing with water so much; almost everyday I put water in a plastic bag and pinched the surface so the plastic became spiky

this lil girl is my home, my sanctuary

4 Elements In Me

Learning, love, Poetic, This Person
I'm water, my love
Living with the soil and air
Burnt by this blue fire.

To me clarity is more important than belief. With belief I might grab in the dark, to some level of darkness I might be frantically euphoric or falling into abyss of confusion. With clarity I can appropriately choose what I need to do & when further blessed, to do it appropriately.

Clarity is gained through many ways, as many as the heart in life. I myself like to think I clarify myself about myself based on how 4 nature elements (water, air, soil & fire) purify themselves.

There are few ways to gain clarity/purity in each but I’d like to talk about one for each.

Water naturally flows to clean itself; flowing to filter what’s in through its movement against all odds (stones, holes, debris, etc). By filtering for clarity it means I need to pass by at the same time to let go a lot of things in life to be clear (& clean). Like river, I receive materials from various sources that possibly contain unnecessary or unfavourable matters & I need to choose which to stay & which to get rid of. Flowing is leaving some behind & taking necessary some ahead. I’ve let go a lot of memories & people.

Air circulates what’s in. By circulating for clarity it means I should not stop sharing. The more I share (material, knowledge, vibes, etc), the more I find clarity in life. Like air, this person needs to vent, too. I tell stories, write, rant, talk, argue, discuss to verify information accuracy.

Soil decomposes what’s in. It breaks things into minuscule or even atomic pieces & blend all in one environment. Like soil, I don’t mind dealing with rotten and/or damaged things (ideas, gossips, accusation, prejudice, etc). Sometimes I swallow the worst leftover. Rubbish can turn to gold! Is it possible artist here? (Not the artist in Bahasa Indonesia’s artis, it is the seniman)

Fire heats to purify itself. Like blue fire I sometimes feel of having the most life energy (oxygen) & the motivation (high temperature). I clarify by motivating myself & others. I often don’t need external voice to motivate myself. I can be rather stubborn against change: sometimes only my will can change my ways. Learning from own mistakes is good: getting burnt 😁

Clarification leaves waste (emotions) so I need to deal with it by treating them well.

Note: 

  • I’m more water than fire. I’m more soil than than air. I’m more air than fire. I’m more water than soil. 😊
  • This idea is original but murky; might not work for you. Find your own way to be clear about yourself.

My Life Is

Learning, life, Poetic, This Person

My life
Is a drop of dew
That glistens and freshens
The life of a sleepy leaf,
Woken up in a beautiful morning
To greet the sun.

I fall to the tip of a grass leaf
And break
Becoming
Spurt of water, so tiny
Enough to shower less than an inch of dry land
Then come through the soil gently 
Finding a way to the earth veins,
Traveling back to the sea.

thank you, life for always making me nod to the simplicity of accepting what is

Overflown

Learning, Poetic, This Person

I'm a room
Overflown with blessings.
Some visible,
Some unseen,
All undeniable--

this is where water, soil, air and fire show their potential in harmony, no collision

Welcome

Learning, Poetic

Welcome, Beloved
To a home in a quiet house
Where heart sings sweetly.

i trained myself rigorously today: no distraction 🤩

and then….

kitchen is always a good welcome home — let me boast my best oxtail soup aka sop buntut sapi and almost frozen pomegranate aka delima & osmanthus pudding 💕

Endurance

Learning, Poetic, This Person

How long
How far
How intense
Does she endure life?

Start slow and steady,
Move at constant pace,
Travel farther,
Rest when needed,
Fix technical issues,
Read and review,
Keep going.

She endures to reach an end
Safely,
Not swiftly
And that's her endurance.

i didn’t meet Sam today, she probably took a break or maybe she knew that the pool was packed (normally only 5 at this hour, 12 today) so she pulled herself back — my 30′ went fast with a lot of interruption, my next is two days from now and i wish to see fewer people so i can train myself better

Plunge

Learning, Poetic
Life is a wide pool.
It takes plunges to the deep
To find an ocean.

one flower = one plunge in the pool after work

KL is serene tonight to plunge to a bowl of light in the dark

Endured

Learning, Poetic, Those People
There is pain
And patience
In endurance,
A chemical compound
That swims in blue skies,
Gets sprinkled down to a pool
Where Superman
Is endured.

i met Sam who swam for 20 laps of 50-meter long pool today – she swam without stopping at all, while i stopped in the middle just because a leaf poked my goggles

Sam was 65 and she said she also started like me (not consistently moving, she even said she preferred the small pool of 25-meter long near my block) – sixtyfiiivvveee!!!

she said she pushed herself past several years before finally enjoying the 50-meter long lap with no stop back and forth for one hour

see you in two days, Sam! thanks for inspiring me with your humbleness and endurance 💕

Hurt?

Learning
No one can hurt me.
I am a feather,
I am water,
Either.

No one will hurt me.
I am a feather,
I am water,
Either.

We are feather on water.
No one can hurt them,
No one will,
Either.

no one can, no one will — if one does, one does to one’s self

Water In Me

Learning, Poetic
I’m water 
Humble enough to mold myself 
To this pitcher. 
This life’s a pitcher 
Kind enough to tilt herself 
To the river. 

I’m water 
Flowing by myself 
In myself to the sea. 
This’s the strongest soft 
With what this rocky heart 
Gets shaped through time.

water: naturally willing to be shaped, spiced up, scented, coloured, treated by temperatures — matured through stories 😃

New year again! Thanks so much for reaching this point like a plane (an inch to) landing smoothly. Seat belt still on! Airplane mode still on! Yet the pilot is smiling widely with fire in her heart brighter and brighter, no red anymore, now almost blue to white!

Count down! 💗

Water

Water, Beloved,
Loyal to gravitation
And filling all shapes.
Cleansing only when it’s clean,
Weathering in given time—

Once I wanted to be water; don’t want anymore though, too challenging. Too challenging, dear oh dear….

Let me enjoy living with water. That’s already more than being blessed.

May all beings be happy. 🙏🏼

want one with a slower flow in my base home 🤩

Eek!

Poetic
Bubble spat by fish,
Exploded second it’s out.
Wait! It’s voice you say?

Where does voice go after it goes out of body? Does it resemble the bubble exploding once out of fish’ mouth?

Dear, Voice. What are you? Or who are you? And where do you come from and go to?

Are you of the same thing as me?

Long weekend has twisted my brain. 😂

May all beings be happy.

Arid Land, His Heart

Learning, Poetic
I never want to hurt myself, I just didn’t know who you are.
I got hurt by a cactus in a desert
Who pricks little fingers,
Who just want to touch this life softly,
Not hurting, not taking anything away.


Wounded, I decided to blame stupidity:
Why did I have to have to have to have to have to just touch cacti? I should have left that arid land long before I touched a prickly spirit.


A delayed regret is less important than a lesson learned but it always gives a story the most significant pivot.


Now
I’ll just admire from here
From where I stand
With millions of prayers
For a secret journey.
Yet I know you are a ghost days and nights.


Someday when I pour down the rain,
You’ll know.
Love is as sweet as water in drought—
Maybe—
If it is not late....

May all beings be happy.

Fish – haiku ended with a free verse

Learning, love, Poetic

Fish in frozen pond
It is swimming to the sun.
Hopes for hotter air —

Fish, water and sun —
Forming a natural cycle —
Win life together.

Fish, can you feel me
Stir the water to get you
Out of frozen pond.

Fish stare at my eyes.
They beg me to stop and go,
To find other funs.

Fish….
Me….
Life….
Like
Fish….
Water….
Sun….
Can I play with this life the I want?
I know I can.
But like a fish that can’t live in frozen pond – waiting for
The sun to melt it down.

I am a fish in a life full of water under the sun.

Water Crystal – a sharing

Learning, love, This Person, Those People

Years ago I read one article about Masaru Emoto, the professor who confirmed with his thousands of experiments that good intention brings good energy to water. I read the article long before Prof. Emoto’s work was translated to Bahasa Indonesia. I remeber very well when I shared about “happy water crystals”, my friends laughed at and left me. I don’t blame them – I talk too much rubbish, crazy things and unbelievable ideas…. I’ve been rubbish to some people. I don’t care lah….

Oh, I don’t want to talk about myself. I want to talk about water and its crystal.

When going around in KLIA, I decided to purchase a chain and a pendant but like usual when buying something it is my heart buying. I won’t take a thing if my heart does not say so. I didn’t have any idea why that pendant was chosen and not the lapis lazuli Turkey eye with a bright diamond which looks very pretty and shiny – you know how strong a Turkey eye is… Instead sapphire was chosen, a simple one with the same price!

single_hex

Getting home, I checked the pendant again. What actually its shape is like. Then I realized that it is a seven-hexagon. Oh my…. It might be a message.

This is the sapphire pendant I bought from Habib.

And after some time the message was deciphered.

Water-Crystal-Stickers

Picture borrowed from http://hado.com/ihm/product/water-crystal-goods/

Seven-hexagon is the shape of water crystal. And why I took sapphire insteadl of lapis lazuli, because sapphire is my birthstone. The Universe emphasizes it to me that I’m born as a sapphire and to be close to water.

I believe water has healing power. But I also believe that only water from a good source is good, water from bad sources or bad because of negative energy should be cleaned and cleansed before use. Using Prof. Emoto’s words, good water has beautiful shape of crystal and we can perfect or repair the shape of water crystal by sending positive energy to the water we’re using. We can send prayers, send positive thought, concentrate positive statement and words to the water. We can do it alone or together. If you are interested in knowing more about him and his project, please Google his name. 🙂

Just to share with you, when I am sick, I would chant some prayers in front of a glass of water, blow the water after praying then drink the water. And mostly I’m cured with that. That is what I always recommend to my friends who ask me what to do when their animals or they themselves are sick.

More than that, I believe that this seven-hexagon sapphire pendant is for me to heal myself and heal the world.

It is a sign. Yes, it is.

Thank you Universe for bringing the message from the Source. I’m hearing, listening and taking actions.

Salaam….
