Everyday Lesson Learned

What’ll happen on 2010?

No body knows. Nothing is so sure.All things change in a matter of micro-second make my primitive brain unable to catch up.

Things go high and low. Things moving like crazy. They’re keep spinning around without purpose til they fall down and replace by the new risen ones.

When all this cyclic mode be ended? Again, no body knows. It is Life’s Owner jurisdiction. Not mine, not yours.

Despite all; let’s grab the rough unpolished idea.
To find what matters the most in this chaotic life turbulence.

Try to cleanse your mind and refocus.
Throw anything that need to be thrown.
Hold tight anything that need to be hold. Try to regain thy balance.
Find the essentials and forget the rest.
Search the art of simplifying thy life.

Since life is meant to be simple, yet not to be so easy.
The spring is in our heart. The essence.

Faith, hope, and love. The essential ingredient of one’s life despite of his world surrounds him.

despite of what others tell.

despite of what thy brain tells.

Seek the essence: … faith+hope+love … and let thy life flourish upon it.

I wake up in reality
Seeing the world outside of me
All things seem to collapse
undoable damage
Things my hand to hold on was no longer exist.

When my morale seems so low
and my heart empty hollow
I can’t figure out what’s going on
then I’m down and sing lamentation
my lamentation
our lamentation

I need faith, to keep on standing
I need hope, to keep on walking
I need love, to make my meaning
Am I dreaming?

When I sing my lamentation
I saw the ray of light to shine on
All things are now exposed
no more hidden in the dark
The truth sometimes is hurting me
but i got to take it.

When my morale seems so low
and my heart empty hollow
I’m now hoping for a mercy
while still I drop and sing lamentation
my lamentation
our lamentation

I need faith, to keep on standing
I need hope, to keep on walking
I need love, to make my meaning
And I am not dreaming

Days are passing by
Christmas is on the way and this year is nearly vanished
make me think of many memories in good old days
just to remind me how far I already traveled.

looking back at my footsteps
some happiness and joy
some hurt and pain
and some I don’t understand
all ups and downs are mixed together for growth ingredient

before making another step
I decide to sit still for a moment
be honest to myself and to God
looking deep inside my heart
searching for what matters most in life

some things I cannot have
but some must be pursued
some need to let go
and some need to left behind

I pray for strength
I ask for courage & support
I beg for forgiveness
and I seek for wisdom

while continue to travel for another year
and another year
and another year
each step at a time

because to love is to live
and to live is to love.

Badak, end of Nov 2009
