“The ocean makes its music; the wind does its dance. We hold on. At first we hold on to one another, but then it starts to feel like we are holding on to something even bigger than that. Greater.”
Seindah apa pun huruf terukir, dapatkah ia bermakna apabila tak ada jeda?
Dapatkan ia dimengerti jika tak ada spasi?
Bukankah kita baru bisa bergerak jika ada jarak?
Dan saling menyayang bila ada ruang?
Kasih sayang akan membawa dua orang semakin berdekatan, tapi ia tak ingin mencekik, jadi ulurlah tali itu.
Napas akan melega dengan sepasang paru-paru yang tak dibagi.
Darah mengalir deras dengan jantung yang tidak dipakai dua kali.
Jiwa tidaklah dibelah, tapi bersua dengan jiwa lain yang searah.
Jadi jangan lumpuhkan aku dengan mengatasnamakan kasih sayang.
Mari berkelana dengan rapat tapi tak dibebat.
Janganlah saling membendung apabila tak ingin tersandung.
Pegang tanganku, tapi jangan terlalu erat, karena aku ingin seiring dan bukan digiring.

It’s better to be in love with a person who loves you rather than being in love with one who you have a crush on.
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us. – Joseph Campbell
We must learn to let go, to give up, to make room for the things we have prayed for and desired. – Charles Fillmore
The hardest part of anything is the beginning, and the second hardest part is letting go when it’s the end. – E. Fritz

As I started to picture the trees in the storm, the answer began to dawn on me. The trees in the storm don’t try to stand up straight and tall and erect. They allow themselves to bend and be blown with the wind. They understand the power of letting go. Those trees and those branches that try too hard to stand up strong and straight are the ones that break. Now is not the time for you to be strong, Julia, or you, too, will break. – Julia Butterfly Hill
Writers have to get used to launching something beautiful and watching it crash a burn. They also have to learn when to let go control, when the work takes off on its own and flies farther than they even planned or imagined, to places they didn’t know they knew. All makers must leave room for the acts of the spirit. But they have to work hard and carefully, and wait patiently to deserve them. – Ursula K. LeGuin
The Tao Te Ching says, When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need. Have you ever struggled to find work or love, only to find them after you have given up? This is the paradox of letting go. Let go, in order to achieve. Letting go
is God’s law. – Mary Manin Morrissey
This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet. – Rumi
Trying creates impossibilities, letting go creates what is desired. – Stalking Wolf, Apache elder
Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself. – Zen saying
Aku gak tau lagi harus seperti apa ngungkapin perasaanku ini :( biarlah aku makan mentah mentah semua ini sendiri… Cuma berharap ini semua tidak berlangsung lama… :(
Pagi pertama : terasa ada yang kurang pagi ini. Ya, tak ada semangat. Sebelumnya, pagi hari adalah waktu yang aku tunggu tunggu, tapi hari ini? Aku membutuhkan beberapa puluh pagi sekaligus, agar bisa bertemu dgn mu. Tak bisakah langsung kulewati 13 pagi itu sekaligus? Tak bisa kah?
Berusaha mencoba menepis rasa rindu yang ada… tapi mencoba itu sendiri adalah bagian yang sangat sulit. Ya.. salah satu solusi adalah menikmatinya„, memakan mentah-mentah semua memory memory itu… terang saja„ hampir semua sudut ada bayang bayangmu… Salah satu tempat yang paling menakutkan adalah dikamar ini, Ya, memang menakutkan. Bagaimana tidak… bayang bayangmu mengisi seluruh ruangan ini… dan sekarang? Aku tidak menemukan dirimu disni… bukankah itu adalah hal yang paling menakutkan?
Untuk seseorang yg sekarang beratus ratus mil dari kamar ini… aku merindukanmu :(
