like the flowing river

be like the flowing river.
silent in the night.
be not afraid of the dark.
if there are stars in the sky,
reflect them back.
if there are clouds in the sky,
remember, clouds, like the river, are water.
so, gladly reflect them too,
in your own tranquil depths.

my past-time friends come back.


i don't know why. it's all just like miracles.

these last weeks, i was just wondering, where do my childhood friends go? they're gone i don't know where. we lose contacts. and no one knows where they are, like Valentine, Winnie, David, and others. i miss them so much. i was curious how they are after has gone for more than 5 years.

but, suddenly, the day before today, i was surprised. i saw a name "Sheen Valentine Li" in the Facebook on "people you may know". DAMN! God has answered my questions!! i found him! my old friend who has the same birthday as mine. great! i requested to be his friend on Facebook at once. Then, not long after it, I found another name: "David Nugraha". oh God! so kind of You!

then i was wondering again. where is Winnie? i used to like chatting with here in the 4th grade. But then she said that she had to move to Singapore. Well, so i tried to find her name on Facebook. unfortunately, i couldn't find her. i thought i misspell her full name. then i thought hard how to find her. Thank God, i came up with the idea that she is a relative of Marcello. at once, i searched for her name in his friend list. and I FOUND HER!


my childhood friends, 5th grade

well, i learned that everything having a strong relationship with us will come back. it does not only happen in me, but also others. my father experiences it a few month ago. he lose contacts with almost all of his friends. but in 2 days, he succeeded to find them and made up their relationship again.

Mitch Albom, in his book, "Tuesdays With Morrie" also experienced the same thing. he finally came back to his teacher after tens of years lose contact.

that's why, we won't separated no matter how far our distance is :)
