The
sky is getting dark. It almost rain, I love how it creates an atmosphere of
worry among the people. They run as soon as they could to avoid every drop of
water from the above. It’s beautiful actually when you think of it. Some say it’s
the tears of the sky, seeing human being make mistakes that day, leaving no
space for love for each other and it surroundings. Color of grey filling the
caribbean blue beyond high buildings and telecommunication towers.
I
still sit on the window pane, trying to catch the breeze from outside. How
today is ended so fast, while all I did was nothing. Yesterday I just got back
from a business trip from Java to Bali, an expo tour from my work place for 19
days. We are touring by bus starting from Bogor, Bandung
,Tegal, Semarang,
Solo, Surabaya,
and Denpasar. But luckily the company left us 2 days of vacation at Bali before we actually flew off with an evening flight.
My
two days spent was just perfect. We stayed in Mercure Hotel in Sanur-Bali, it
has its own beach but the food was terrible. I wake up at night after the group
has gone to bed. I walked along the quiet beach, where the wind is just right
making waves like song from the ocean. I love the peacefulness, where the
luminosity was just moonlight and some hotel’s lighting. Then I sit on one
spot, just looking to the dark sea and think of nothing.
Then
the next day we visit Kuta, how metropolis mind combine with beach atmosphere
creates something that unnecessarily materialistic. I saw the bombing site, Legian.
And then we went to Tanah Lot, it was mystically beautiful. A Pure (a Hindu
temple) built centuries ago above the sea surface, with caves beneath it. I
walked to the hollow walls, where there are no people there. Small crab walking
around and other sea creatures are there too.
But
what I felt was something extraordinary. A feeling of big, with crashing sound
of the waves to the temple walls and the water filling my bare feet. The rocks were full of sea weed, like a green
carpet before the sea. The sun is burning my skin although I put sunscreen
before I went there. Bought myself some souvenirs before I get back to Jakarta and tattooing
both arms. What I got from the trip was
just something a human can be thankful of. When it emerge with a sense of great
and being small as a part of the universe. How suddenly my mind is crystal
clear and creating a stronger level of consciousness of life.
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
