In the height of my worries tonight, that simple reminder came to me again: no mud, no lotus.This city has been baked in summer heat for nearly two weeks. Then suddenly—tonight—the rain came. Heavy rain. Not for long, but just enough. The smell of grass and trees rose up like a song, and I couldn’t … Continue reading No mud No lotus

The moon
This stillness is not empty.It is full—Full of mystery, renewal, and soft power.I am not broken.I am becoming.I am returning to the ancient rhythm that lives in my blood,the song the moon still sings to me each month.Every ache, every pulse,is a drumbeat calling me inward,into deeper knowing,into sacred presence.At this moment, I release what … Continue reading The moon
Lupa
Ini Bukan Pabrik! Ini Sekolah. Bayangkan bekerja 40 jam setiap minggu, tanpa upah, tanpa uang lembur, dan tanpa hak cuti. Bagi orang dewasa, itu terdengar melelahkan—dan bisa langsung viral di media sosial sebagai pelanggaran hak tenaga kerja. Tapi inilah kenyataan yang dialami jutaan anak usia sekolah di Indonesia. Mereka datang pagi, pulang sore. Istirahat? Hanya … Continue reading Lupa

It is said that a relationship, in particular with one's spouse is a sadhana; a spiritual practice. We are not having a relationship so we can be happily ever after ( I … Continue reading Sadhana

I am lucky today! I have a chance to know that I'm truly done with my chronic anger. If you've been hurt deeply, you will understand this chronic anger. I've been carrying this anger for more than two decades.. I held onto it, and let it pull me into the deep abyss of pain.Two decades … Continue reading Done!
