WEALTH

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.

SEEKING

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.

SMOKE

One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way.

WEAPON

The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace.

SORENESS

Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life.

KEPADA SEMAR




KEPADA SEMAR
Sibukku masih menyibak dan menyimak sebuah catatan usang,
berdebu pun bau.
Jika dalam suatu ketika kau terbangun,
maka tuntunlah Aku.

Seperti Jawa yang hilang sukma;
Aku kini kehilangan separuh nyawa.
Jika kau terjaga,
berilah Aku mantra cintamu.

Seperti Jawa yang kehilangan leluhurnya;
Aku kini kehilangannya.
Dalam bumi yang telanjang penuh fatamorgana.
Aku kehilangan Badra, Badranaya.
