Contemplative
[Bahasa Indonesia]
I have just realized that my recent threads have gotten back to being very contemplative and idealistic.
I wonder what it means. I have a hunch, but I am not ready to share it.
This is what I do. I write - about anything that cross my mind, about what concerns me, and about what excites me - and I speak up. I try to help a bit here and there. My way of chipping in to the society. while at the same time walking on my personal journey. Sometimes it works, other times it does not. But you know that's not important. What matters is we start doing something. Anything.
