When the World is Too Blind to See

I would like to share this story with anyone who feels that their kindness is invisible to those who take them for granted. First I would like to say, Thank you, for always being kind, even when the world is too blind to see.

This Morning I bumped into story about Prophet Muhammad. Isn't the first time I read about this story. But I just got the message from this story today. 

This is a story that my religion teacher told me. Once upon a time, there was a blind woman, who hated the Prophet Muhammad so much that she said bad things about him. Little did she know that the Prophet Muhammad was the benefactor who routinely brought her food. She was blind, so she couldn't see who that person was.

Kind of strange, isn't it? The woman couldn't see, but somehow she hated and talked badly about the person who was helping her.

Anyway, one day, after Prophet Muhammad passed away, one of his followers brought the food. Somehow, the blind woman sensed that it was not the same person providing him with food. So she asked, who the man was usually brought her food?

Oh that was the Prophet Muhammad, but he passed away.

The blind woman wept, and said that she regretted all of things that she said about the Prophet Muhammad.

Today I really understand the message from this story.

In life, people may unkind to us, No matter what we do it will simply never be enough. All our good deeds are invisible to them. Yet, that is no excuse for giving up and not doing good deeds. 
Some people maybe too blind to see us as we are (people of kindness, worth and value) even those we deeply care about.
However, those who truly love us, will always see how good we are as a person, even the rest of the world is too blind to see.

Perona Pipi

Semburat merah muda menjalari pori-pori pipinya
Bukan, bukan, ini bukan hasil reaksi kimia yang dapat diulas dengan kuas
Natural
Perlahan semakin merah kentara
Dadanya naik turun mengikuti irama degupnya
Napasnya pendek-pendek
Malu bertemu pemiliki bilik di hati?
Atau akibat perut yang melonjak seiring pop-up deret huruf favorit di kaca lcd?
Oh, rona itu dihiasi bulir-bulir berkilauan dari pelupuk
Oh, sesekali diselingi sesengukan
Rona ini dari nyeri mengikis perasaan
Perih Perona Pipi

Nyanyian Borneo

Itu nyanyian paling indah
yang pernah telingaku cicipi
Desah alam yang mengalun
menggelitik koklea, merangsang hati

Nyanyian itu pertanda hari dibuka
Diiringi sorot mentari yang jatuh
menembus kanopi-kanopi hijau
Legam mata orangutan
Bening embun yang menempel
pada barisan fungi
serta sekelibat warna membelah langit di atas

Jangan tanya apa yang terjadi setelah parade semburat jingga
Gemericik sungai masih berisik
Hitam datang, kelam mengukung
Kelambu? Bukan itu kanvas
Tarian kunang-kunang kuning berkilauan
semarak tapi temaram
Bersama menghias lukisan Gugus Bintang
Menemani Bulan yang sendirian
diatas Hutan Hujan

Merayakan Cinta

Diam menyayat
Setajam belati
Berkilauan bak pualam

Acuh mencambuk
Serabutnya kasar
Membekas perih

Egois mengikis
Merasuk nukleus
Memecah dinding membran

Butuh Waktu
Butuh Tahun
Butuh Air Mata

Diam-mu adalah Cinta
yang tak terkatakan

Acuh-mu adalah Kasih
yang tersembunyi

Ego-mu adalah sayang
yang mungkin susah dibagi

Memaafkan itu mencintai
Menerima itu mengasihi
Terus berusaha mencintai,

Itu cinta tak terperi.

Feed a Soul

Do you mind even a little that you are still addicted to people-pleasing, and are still putting everyone else's needs and laundry and career ahead your creative, spiritual life? Giving all your life force away, to "help" and impress. Well your help is not helpful, and falls short.

It doesn't mean to be selfish, but to feed your soul. Not only feed your brain and body, but soul. Help others is one to feed your soul but you have to do it with heart. Help with whining all the time is not a help, is torture to your soul.

Stop Whining and Remember to Feed your Soul,
Cheers
