Berhenti mencintai

nyomot dari http://elangtersenyum.blogspot.com/2004/08/please-dont-cry.html

Akan tiba saatnya dimana kamu harus berhenti mencintai seseorang
BUKAN karena orang itu berhenti mencintai kita
MELAINKAN karena kita menyadari bahwa orang itu akan lebih berbahagia apabila kita melepaskannya.

Forgive n Forget

"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was YOU!"
~Unknown~

Today's Tip...

When someone has hurt or disappointed you with their words or actions, it can be very difficult to forgive and forget. Yet when thinking about it, if you don't forgive or forget, who are you really hurting? Who is really the prisoner?

YOU ARE!

you can do the things
you want to do

Janji

Subject: [resonansi] Janji

Istriku berkata kepada aku yang sedang baca Koran, "berapa lama lagi kamu baca Koran itu? Tolong kamu ke sini Dan Bantu anak perempuanmu tersayang untuk makan."

Aku taruh Koran Dan melihat anak perempuanku satu2nya,namanya Sindu tampak ketakutan air matanya mengalir. Di depannya Ada semangkuk nasi berisi nasi susu asam/yogurt (nasi khas India /curd rice). Sindu anak yang manis Dan termasuk pintar dalam usianya yang baru 8 tahun dia sangat tidak suka makan curd rice ini. Ibu Dan istriku masih kuno mereka percaya sekali kalau makan curd rice Ada "cooling effect".

Aku mengambil mangkok Dan berkata, "Sindu sayang, demi ayah, maukah kamu makan beberapa sendok curd rice ini? Kalau tidak, nanti ibumu akan teriak2 sama ayah."

Aku bisa merasakan istriku cemberut dibelakang punggungku. Tangis Sindu mereda Dan IA menghapus air Mata dengan tangannya Dan berkata, "boleh ayah akan aku makan curd rice ini tidak hanya beberapa sendok, tapi semuanya akan aku habiskan, tapi aku akan minta..." agak ragu2 sejenak... "...akan minta sesuatu sama ayah bila habis semua nasinya. Apakah ayah mau berjanji memenuhi permintaan Ku?"

Aku menjawab, "Oh pasti sayang".
Sindu tanya sekali lagi, "betul ayah?"
"Yah pasti.." sambil menggenggam tangan anakku yang kemerah mudaan Dan lembut sebagai tanda setuju.
Sindu juga mendesak ibunya untuk janji hal yang sama,istriku menepuk tangan Sindu yang merengek sambil berkata tanpa emosi, "janji" kata istriku. Aku sedikit khawatir Dan berkata: "Sindu jangan minta komputer atau barang2 lain yang Mahal yah, karena ayah saat ini tidak punya uang." Sindu menjawab, "jangan khawatir, Sindu tidak minta barang2 Mahal kok."

Kemudian Sindu dengan perlahan-lahan Dan kelihatannya sangat menderita dia bertekad menghabiskan semua nasi susu asam itu. Dalam hatiku aku marah sama istri Dan ibuku yang memaksa Sindu untuk makan sesuatu yang tidak disukainya. Setelah Sindu melewati penderitaannya dia mendekatiku dengan Mata penuh harap Dan semua perhatian (aku ,istriku Dan juga ibuku) tertuju kepadanya.

Ternyata Sindu mau kepalanya digundulin pada Hari Minggu.
Istriku spontan berkata, "permintaan Gila, anak perempuan dibotakin,tidak mungkin!" Juga ibuku menggerutu jangan terjadi dalam keluarga Kita, dia terlalu banyak nonton TV. Dan program2 TV itu sudah merusak kebudayaan Kita. Aku coba membujuk: "Sindu kenapa kamu tidak minta hal yang lain kami semua akan sedih melihatmu botak." Tapi Sindu tetap dengan pilihannya, "tidak Ada 'yah, tak Ada keinginan lain," kata Sindu.

Aku coba memohon kepada Sindu, "tolonglah kenapa kamu tidak mencoba untuk mengerti perasaan kami."
Sindu dengan menangis berkata, "ayah sudah melihat bagaimana menderitanya aku menghabiskan nasi susu asam itu Dan ayah sudah berjanji untuk memenuhi permintaan aku kenapa ayah sekarang mau menarik perkataan Ayah sendiri? Bukankah Ayah sudah mengajarkan pelajaran moral, bahwa Kita harus memenuhi janji Kita terhadap seseorang apapun yang terjadi seperti Raja Harishchandra (raja India jaman dahulu kala ) untuk memenuhi janjinya raja real memberikan tahta, kekuasaannya, bahkan nyawa anaknya sendiri."

Sekarang aku memutuskan untuk memenuhi permintaan anakku, "janji Kita harus ditepati." Secara serentak istri Dan ibuku berkata, "apakah aku sudah Gila?"

"Tidak," jawabku, "kalau Kita menjilat ludah sendiri, dia tidak akan pernah belajar bagaimana menghargai dirinya sendiri."
"Sindu permintaanmu akan kami penuhi."

Dengan kepala botak, wajah Sindu nampak bundar Dan matanya besar Dan bagus. Hari Senin aku mengantarnya ke sekolah, sekilas aku melihat Sindu botak berjalan ke kelasnya Dan melambaikan tangan kepadaku sambil tersenyum aku membalas lambaian tangannya. Tiba2 seorang anak laki2 keluar dari Mobil sambil berteriak, "Sindu tolong tunggu saya." yang mengejutkanku ternyata kepala anak laki2 itu botak aku berpikir mungkin "botak" model jaman sekarang.

Tanpa memperkenalkan dirinya seorang wanita keluar dari Mobil Dan berkata, "anak anda,Sindu benar2 hebat. Anak laki2 yang jalan bersama-sama dia sekarang, Harish adalah anak saya, dia menderita kanker leukemia." Wanita itu berhenti berkata-kata, sejenak aku melihat air matanya mulai melelh dipipinya " bulan lalu Harish tidak masuk sekolah,karena chemo therapy kepalanya menjadi botak jadi dia tidak mau pergi kesekolah takut diejek oleh teman2 sekelasnya. Nah, Minggu lalu Sindu datang ke rumah Dan berjanji kepada anak saya untuk mengatasi ejekan yang mungkin terjadi.

Hanya saya betul2 tidak menyangka kalau Sindu mau mengorbankan rambutnya yang indah untuk anakku Harish. Tuan Dan istri tuan sungguh diberkati Tuhan mempunyai anak perempuan yang berhati mulia."

Aku berdiri terpaku Dan tidak terasa air mataku meleleh. Malaikat kecilku tolong ajarkanku tentang arti sebuah kasih.

You can become blind

Each day is a different one,
each day brings a miracle of its own.
It's just a matter of
paying attention to this miracle.

This's a story about four people: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody have done.

Spouse from God

Years ago, I asked God to give me a spouse, "You don't own because you didn't ask" God said. Not only I asked for a spouse but also explained what kind of spouse I wanted. I want a nice, tender, forgiving, passionate, honest, peaceful, generous, understanding, pleasant, warm, intelligent, humorous, attentive, compassionate and truthful. I even mentioned the physical characteristics I dreamt about.

As time went by I added the required list of my wanted spouse. One night, in my prayer, God talked to my heart: "My servant, I cannot give you what you want."

I asked, "Why God?" and God said "Because I am God and I am fair. God is the truth and all I do are true and right."

I asked "God, I don't understand why I cannot have what I ask from you?"

God answered, "I will explain. It is not fair and right for Me to fulfill your demand because I cannot give something that is not your ownself. It is not fair to give someone who is full of love to you if sometimes you are still hostile, or to give you someone generous but sometimes you can be cruel, or someone forgiving; however, you still hide revenge, someone sensitive;however, you are very insensitive...."

He then said to me: "It is better for Me to give you someone who I know could grow to have all qualities you are searching rather than to make you waste your time to find someone who already have the qualities you want. Your spouse would be bone from your bone and flesh from your flesh and you will see yourself in her and both of you will be one. Marriage is like a school. It is a life-long span education. It is where you and your partner make adjustment and aim not merely to please each other,but to be better human beings and to make a solid teamwork. I do not give you a perfect partner, because you are not perfect either. I give you a partner with whom you would grow together"

This is for all: the recently married, the ones who have been married, the soon to get married,and the ones who are still looking.

Jatuh Cinta

nyomot dari http://bosan.or.id/catatan-harian/2005/06/06/jatuh-cinta/#comment-2490

saat mengatakan itu semua ….
dia sama sekali tidak menangis
tapi aku tahu pasti
sebenarnya ia ingin menangis keras-keras ….
tapi ia menahannya sekuat tenaga

saat melihat itu aku berpikir ….
di saat sedih, di saat susah, di saat dia ingin menangis
aku ingin ada di situ untuknya

aku jatuh cinta …..
padanya

I call to those whoe went before me
for guidance to travel this days path I ask
those who are yet to come what this holds for me
of Wolf and Man is what I seek
I ask for the Wolf to be at one with the Man
and for the Man to walk beside the Wolf
I offer this prayer to the Spirits above
and humbly ask for their divine help to live my life
to the fullest and bring honor to myself and my people.

An Indian Prayer

O' Great Spirit, Whose voice I hear in the winds, And whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me! I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom.

Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people. Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.

I seek strength not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy myself. Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes. So when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.

American Indian Version of The 23rd Psalm

Unknown Author

The Great Father above a shepherd Chief is
I am His and with Him I want not.
He throws out to me a rope and the name of the rope is love.
He draws me to where the grass is green and the water is not dangerous.

I eat and lie down and am satisfied.
Sometimes my heart is weak and falls down.
He lifts me up again and draws me into a good road.
His name is WONDERFUL.
Sometime, it may be very soon, it may be a long long time,
He will draw me into a valley.

It is dark there, but I'll be afraid not,
for it is in between those mountains that the Shepherd Spirit will meet me.
The hunger that I have in my heart all through this life will be satisfied.
He gives me a staff to lean upon.
He spreads a table before me with all kinds of foods.

He puts His hand upon mine my head and all the tired is gone.
My cup he fills till it runs over.
What I tell you is true. I lie not.
These roads that are away ahead will stay with me through this life and after.

Afterwards I will go to live in the Big Tepee and sit down with the Shepherd Chief forever.
