Shut Up Your Big Mouth

Kejujuran……
Pentingkah?
Apa yang kamu pikirkan?
Apa?

Kita perlu bicara jujur.
Walau pun itu terkadang menyakitkan.
Dari pada bicara dalam hati.
Itu lebih menyakitkan.

Karena dengan bicara…
Kita dapat mendengar sehingga kita tahu keinginan, harapan, maksud dari seseorang.
Tapi akan lebih berbahaya bila hanya bicara dalam hati.
Karena kita tidak akan pernah tahu karena tidak terucap oleh kata2.

Saat seseorang berkata ‘aku mau bicara jujur pada mu’.
Andrenalin naik terpacu dengan cepat
Perut terasa mual, tangan mulai dingin, jantung berdetak kencang dan kepala menjadi ringan…
Jika sudah seperti ini, sepertinya mental harus dipersiapkan.

Ketika kata2 ‘aku sayang kamu tapi aku juga sayang padanya’.
Ketika kata2 ‘aku peduli pada mu tapi aku juga peduli padanya’.
Ketika kata2 ‘maafkan aku menyakiti dirimu dan dirinya’.
Ketika kata2 ‘lebih baik aku sendiri agar tidak menyakiti kalian’.

Apa yang kamu pikirkan?
Apa yang akan terjadi kemudian?
Bagaimana kamu bersikap sekarang?
Bagaimana kamu menjawabnya sekarang?

What is that?
Kejujuran, kebenaran atau kenyataan?
Kebohongan, permainan kata2 atau pembelaan diri?
Shut up your big mouth!

Remember Me

I will be with you in the grave
on the night you leave behind
your shop and your family.
When you hear my soft voice
echoing in your tomb,
you will realize
that you were never hidden from my eyes.
I am the pure awareness within your heart,
with you during joy and celebration,
suffering and despair.

On that strange and fateful night
you will hear a familar voice –
you’ll be rescued from the fangs of snakes
and the searing sting of scorpions.
The euphoria of love will sweep over your grave;
it will bring wine and friends, candles and food.

When the light of realization dawns,
shouting and upheaval
will rise up from the graves!
The dust of ages will be stirred
by the cities of ecstasy,
by the banging of drums,
by the clamor of revolt!

Dead bodies will tear off their shrouds
and stuff their ears in fright–
What use are the senses and the ears
before the blast of that Trumpet?

Look and you will see my form
whether you are looking at yourself
or toward that noise and confusion.

Don’t be blurry-eyed,
See me clearly-
See my beauty without the old eyes of delusion.

Beware! Beware!
Don’t mistake me for this human form.
The soul is not obscured by forms.
Even if it were wrapped in a hundred folds of felt
the rays of the soul’s light
would still shine through.

Beat the drum,
Follow the minstrels of the city.
It’s a day of renewal
when every young man
walks boldly on the path of love.

Had everyone sought God
Instead of crumbs and copper coins
T’hey would not be sitting on the edge of the moat
in darkness and regret.

What kind of gossip-house
have you opened in our city?
Close your lips
and shine on the world
like loving sunlight.

Shine like the Sun of Tabriz rising in the East.
Shine like the star of victory.
Shine like the whole universe is yours!
