keep on walking!

Aku tak suka berjalan atas 'tightrope'.

Gayat barangkali. Dan sering, tali yang dipijak

dirasakan tidak stabil. Terumbang-ambing.

Setiap kali melangkah, setiap kali itulah aku berharap

tidak ada angin bertiup

tidak ada angin menderu

dan setiap kali itu jugalah

tali yang dipijak dirasakan seakan semakin tipis

gaung dibawah seakan semakin mendalam

destinasi dilihat seakan semakin menjauh

dan pandangan seakan semakin kabur.

tetapi perjalanan harus diteruskan juga, fikirku.

"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream–and not make dreams your master,
If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:...

....If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And–which is more–you’ll be a Man, my son! "

–Rudyard Kipling

Kadang kala, seronok juga belek-belek buku sekolah
there are actually a lot of things for you to wonder,
in which I might, due to unknown reasons, have had taken them all for granted.
