Today I reflect on how simple life is and it would be better to be kept this way. It is as simple as the blowing wind, the blossoming flowers and the chanting of the birds. Stillness in every step and smile, accepting everything and give it back with open hands. When it is sweet, just say it calmly, "this is sweet" and when the scorching thrist comes, just say, "I am thirsty." It is that simple, calm without prejudice. Behind most of complex and unnecessary thoughts is worry and fear. In this glasses of worry and fear, then beauty seemed like blur. In simple mind, even little thing is beautiful.
So glad that at least I talked to others today, thank God, listened to beautiful Turkish music and traveled around Jakarta. Yet wait, it is not how many events that I can experience today or how many people that come and entertain me matters, it is as much as I am being present in those little tiny moments, that what really matters. It is not the feeling or sensation not even experience which is rewarding. Life itself is the reward.
It is not about seeking comfort or instant gratification, because I realize that my emotions, moods, etc are not reliable and quickly changes. But it is about being still and seeing things in prespective. But whose perspective and in what? It is perspective in the belief that the Lord is beautiful and He creates everything beautifully.
