“Religi bukanlah sesuatu yang terpisah dari jenis kehidupan sehari-hari. Religi adalah kehidupan—semua jenis kehidupan yang dipandang dari sudut pandang makna dan maksud:kehidupan yang dijalani dengan kesadara yang leih penuh tentang kualitas manusia dan makna spiritualnya- A. Powell Davies.”      Beberapa tahun yang lalu, selama suatu masa yang sangat meneka, aku duduk dan menulis religi-ku sendiri. Membolak-balik kamus kecil yang lusuh, aku menemukan rumusan ini: “religi:suatu sistem kepercayaan tertentu yang dibangun di seputar suatu falsafah hidup.” Menurut rumusan itu, kepercayaan dan falsafah pribadiku adalah religiku. Secara berkelakar, aku menyebutnya “Religi Betsy-isme.”        “Religi-ku akhirnya tertulis sepanjang sepuluh halaman, dan mencakup pandangan-pandanganku tentang segala sesuatu, mulai dari dosa, surga, neraka, cinta, Golden Rule, tujuan hidup, Tuhan, dan bahkan kematian. Memang tidak terlalu mulia atau sal...

When I was young, I played for fun Made up the words, nobody heard But now I see all eyes on me And suddenly I'm in a dream I got a feeling now Everything's right somehow Here I am, being who I want Giving what I got Never a doubt now Here I go burning like a spark Light up the dark again I'm stepping up, right to the top That's how I'm wired, I take it higher I'm in control, I broke the mould The girl you see, is up to me I'm lifting off the ground Finding the perfect sound Here I am Giving what I got Never a doubt now Here I go burning like a spark Light up the dark again... Again, again, again Again and again and again There's a star that's right inside you So come on and let it out Find out what you're about and Just shout "Here I Am" Being who I want, giving what I got Never a doubt now Here I go, burning like a spark Light up the dark again Here I am, being who I want Giving what I got ...

  I lost myself today All work, no time to play I'm holding on to what I know Then this discovery Blindfolded, I could see I'm catching on by letting go And now I'm rising up No coming down So hang on for the ride Look how high we can fly Look how high we can fly We can see everything From up here in the sky We've got the perfect view Together me and you Look how high we can fly Words come so easily Hard to believe it's me With every breath the feeling grows Take time to make time stop Unplug, turn off the clock The less you try the more it flows   I keep on rising up No coming down So hang on for the ride   Look how high we can fly Look how high we can fly   We can see everything From up here in the sky We've got the perfect view Together me and you Look how high we can fly   Oh yeah I don't need to live in a fancy castle That isn't where I should be Open up my heart and where it leads I'll follow Up ...

“Orang yang mengatakan matahari mendatangkan kebahagiaan adalah orang yang tidak pernah menari ditengah hujan”        Aku dan suamiku baru saja selesai makan malam di restoran setempat dan kami berjalan-jalan melewati toko-toko di pusat perbelanjaan disebelahnya. Kami memasuki toko kerajinan tangan dengan harapan bisa menemukan berbagai hadiah natal di saat-saat terakhir. Wewangian sabun dan potpouri menggoda indera penciuman kami berjalan memasuki toko.        Ada banyak benda yang bisa dilihat. Semua rak dan dinding dipenihi dengan karya kerajinan tangan. Ketika berjalan-jalan di dalam toko, aku melihat sebuah papan kayu menggantung sederhana di dinding. Aku menoleh untuk mencermatinya dan aku mengganggukan kepala “ya" untuk pesan yang tertulis pada papan itu. Aku melanjutkan berjalan dan menikmati benda-benda lain, tetapi menemukan diriku terus tertarik kepada papan kayu itu.      ...

“ Don't afraid to move on and start a new chapter” What’s done is done. What’s gone is gone. One of life’s lessons is always moving on.It’s okay to look back and of fond memories but keep moving forward. Moving on doesn’t mean you forget about things, it just means you have to accept what happened and continue living. Just because you miss someone doesn't mean you need them back in your life. Missing is just a part of moving on. Don't waste your time looking back for what you have lost, move on for life wasn't meant to be traveled backwards. In order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did and why you no longer need to feel it. Once you’ve made the decision to move on, don’t look back. You will never find your future in the rear view mirror. Just because I laugh a lot doesn’t mean my life is easy. Just because i have smile on my face everyday, doesn’t mean that something is not bothering me. It's just that I choo...

Mama, you gave life to me, turned a baby into a lady And mama, all you had to offer, was a promise of a lifetime of love Now I know there’s no other love like a mother’s love for her child And I know, love so complete Someday must leave, must say goodbye.. Mama, you gave love to me, turned a young one into a woman And mama, all I never needed, was guarantee of you loving me ‘Cause I know love like a mother’s love for her child And it hurts so, that something so strong.
