We got lost several times in the dark to get here but the effort was paid off. And we just got arrived, somehow we had an idea to play a song loudly on a portable speaker. And the first two songs when the sun is about to rise were Mumford & Sons (Awake My Soul Live from Red Rocks and The Wolf). We looked at each other and nervously laugh as we were too excited. And then we sang and dance until the sun up in the sky. #justtwobastardstryingtogetbacktheirgoodolddays with Try ā View on Path.
To make this year worth to be a story written. To leave worries amongst the days to come. As it is always only You who know where the time goes, please remain to be a companion in this journey, Lord.
But if I could give you everything I would
All the forests and the flowers and the trees
But if love is all you need then we are good
For love is all I have to give
The Mountain Song, Rayland Baxter
Mostly, first wanders inspire wanderlust and confidence. But the tenth and the nexts provide wisdom. Nothing is wrong. It's better started than never at all. It's just a process.
A Journey of Four: Dad and Brother were up on the hill taking pictures while Mom was down below playing with her flowers and me was taking picture of them at a such graceful moment.
Hai semuanya, saya baru mendapat kabar dan melihat foto kalau salah satu gunung yang baru saya daki sudah dipenuhi sampah yaitu gunung #prau. Dulu tahun 2012, gunung semeru juga terkena hal yang sama. Saya tidak ingin gunung lain mengalami hal yang sama. Coba lihat foto ini, saya tidak kesulitan untuk mencari spot foto saat itu untuk mendapatkan foto yang bagus. Kenapa? Karena gunung Gede tahun 2013 saat itu bersih. Dan semoga akan terus bersih. Saya hanya ingin mengingatkan, bagi yang mendaki gunung, tolong bawa turun sampah kalian saat naik gunung. Karena kita semua yang juga akan diuntungkan. Ingat generasi ke depan juga pasti ingin menikmati keindahan alam sama seperti sekarang. Bawa sampah itu tidak sulit, masukkan sampah anorganik kalian ke trash bag dan bawa bergantian ke bawah agar tidak menyulitkan. Dan kubur sampah organik kalian, agar tidak membuat bau yang tidak sedap. Hanya sesimpel itu. Bagi yang tidak bersedia melakukan itu, saya sarankan untuk tidak mendaki gunung, sekali lagi saya tidak sarankan. Sampai sekarang pun saya dan teman - teman selalu membawa sampah sampai ke bawah. Gunung itu punya banyak cerita dan sejarah, ayo kita hargai! Saya mengajak @tjuandha @faruqadib @meizalrossi @mrizag @her_journeys @nyimaslaula untuk juga menyebarkan hal yang sama dan mengajak orang lain lagi dengan menggunakan hashtag #kitapecintaalambukanpenikmatalam Salam Lestari!
Maybe, these are the biggest weaknesses I have. I never found any good listeners than a blank of paper and a healer than the warmth of sunrise. Yes, it sounds too lonely. But I think that is who I really am.
I think that is a good depiction of how I am today. I am missing being positive. Too much. Becoming the last generation in family of which the age has forty years interval with parentsā will have so many things to say, especially when you are a man turning twenties and you recognize that you are the one who will be relied on for the sake of the family.
Itās quite blurry. The picture of the future you want to be on. That will make you even worried than you ever imagined before. Father and mother in their good shape is something that you will ask to God everyday. And it feels really wrong when you see your father still wake up early everyday and go for work while you have other things to do for the sake of your own future. A somewhat miracle will happen inside your heart. You will start to compromise with your own dreams. Yeah, that thing happens.
People are leaving or busy with their own business, entering their dungeon for saving their imprisoned dreams. The nature of phases in life that for sure will happen to everyone. And itās time for you to enter the dungeon. Itās dark without a map and compass near. A starting point of time that will determine the rest of your life. All of your acquired skills and knowledge are not the most reliable company, but bravery and wisdom are.
I donāt know. Is firstly taking care of my own stuffs selfish? Is it wrong craving for a friend to talk to that could understand? I just donāt want to be far too lost. I donāt know how and I am still looking for the way. I am afraid.
I just looked back to old photos and found this. This was the last time I went to Bali, more than 6 years ago. It is sad when you realize there are already many good moments in life that somehow you start to forget. When you see them, for awhile, you will feel the feelings and atmosphere of the moment taken in the pictures. It feels sad and none of any efforts is able to bring them back. But old pictures weren't meant to get people sad. They were meant to remind people to be grateful for all the moments captured. And as a reminder that time flies. with Ali Syakir and Raisa at Taman Nasional Arief Syakur II ā View on Path.
One said that, āIf you feel lost, then you are on the right track,ā āBecause, it is never about the arrival but the time you spent looking for answers.ā
Yesterday, one of my best friend asked me to go to a hill to see the big moon. He said, āGo out! See the moon, the super moon is happening!ā. Then I went out, āI see nothing, where is the moon?ā he replied, āHmm, I donāt know, but I clearly saw it when itās dusk.ā
I remember that there was a not so close friend in my junior high school wrote in a small paper saying, āArief has a talent to be a leader but he just needs to show.ā And I just met him this night. I hope you were right, friend.
And there was another said that, āGreat things never came from comfort zones.ā
For me love is any kind of acts based on good intentions that expects nothing in return. Well, I hope I am not living in my own too perfect world. This definition had made a long discussion with my close friends.
āHey, you are so thin now!ā then she added, āIs it that stressful making you so thin?ā Well.. Does final project have capability to make somebody so thin? Honestly, I have no idea.
"Guys, please tell me the day of your final project presentation! Okay?" I hope that we will be aĀ wolf pack of big persons. Not literally big. But, we will do something we love and good for others. Or simply successful persons. All my prayers to you, guys.
āI donāt know who will be taking care of this later when I am gone,ā āMom is the one who made me still want to struggle for this business,ā āAnd I am already known as a florist when I have my pension time,ā āSo I want to transfer this knowledge to you,ā āMake this as your secondary job,ā ājust as only your secondary job,ā āis it okay?ā āDonāt let this distract your career.ā
Hey dad, it is really okay you know? One of my goal is to make you happy. This wonāt distract my path at all. I love you. Thanks for everything and please be healthy. I will make you proud. Once again, thanks for everything and thanks lord for giving me a father such him.
In fact a mature person does not fall in love, he rises in love. The word āfallā is not right. Only immature people fall; they stumble and fall down in love. Somehow they were managing and standing. They cannot manage and they cannot stand ā they find a woman and they are gone, they find a man and they are gone. They were always ready to fall on the ground and to creep. They donāt have the backbone, the spine; they donāt have that integrity to stand alone.
A mature person has the integrity to be alone. And when a mature person gives love, he gives without any strings attached to it: he simply gives. And when a mature person gives love, he feels grateful that you have accepted his love, not vice versa. He does not expect you to be thankful for it ā no, not at all, he does not even need your thanks. He thanks you for accepting his love. And when two mature persons are in love, one of the greatest paradoxes of life happens, one of the most beautiful phenomena: they are together and yet tremendously alone; they are together so much so that they are almost one. But their oneness does not destroy their individuality, in fact, it enhances it: they become more individual.
Two mature persons in love help each other to become more free. There is no politics involved, no diplomacy, no effort to dominate. How can you dominate the person you love? Just think over it. Domination is a sort of hatred, anger, enmity. How can you think of dominating a person you love? You would love to see the person totally free, independent; you will give him more individuality. Thatās why I call it the greatest paradox: they are together so much so that they are almost one, but still in that oneness they are individuals. Their individualities are not effaced ā they have become more enhanced. The other has enriched them as far as their freedom is concerned.
Immature people falling in love destroy each otherās freedom, create a bondage, make a prison. Mature persons in love help each other to be free; they help each other to destroy all sorts of bondages. And when love flows with freedom there is beauty. When love flows with dependence there is ugliness.
