Kahlil Gibran: Jiwa Penari Ada di Sekujur Tubuhnya

Photo Credit: Putri Soesilo

Di sebuah malam, seorang penari wanita dan pemusik dari Birkasha datang ke istana pangeran. Mereka diizinkan untuk masuk. Mulailah penari itu menari dengan iringan bunyi alat musik kecapi, siter dan seruling.

Beberapa tarian yang dibawakan adalah tarian pedang, tarian api, dan tarian lembing. Tak lama kemudian, ia turut membawakan tarian angkasa dan bintang, disambung dengan tarian kembang yang mempesona.

Semua tarian telah selesai dibawakan oleh sang penari. Kemudian ia berdiri menghadap sang pangeran dan membungkuk memberi hormat. Pangeran tersebut bertanya,"Wanita cantik, putri yang anggun nan ceria, dari mana engkau menyerap seluruh ilham kesenianmu? Bagaimana pula engkau dapat menguasai segala unsur irama serta puisi?"

Penari tersebut kemudian membungkuk lagi. Selang kemudian ia menjawab, "Baginda yang mulia dan berdaulat, saya tidak dapat menjawab pertanyaan Baginda. Hal yang saya ketahui hanyalah: Jiwa ahli filsafat tinggal di hatinya, jiwa penyanyi tinggal di tenggorokannya, tapi jiwa penari ada di sekujur tubuhnya"

"what will i probably capture?'" "what will i get and what will i learn?" sekejap. selangkah demi selangkah tak ada yang buat mataku berhenti memandang mengagumi memuji men- capture segala yang kulihat. naluri berkata= i hearth the earth and this place is such a little path of the earth You Rock, Almighty. There are too many things that i loved. The smell of the air, the view from any sight was really natural, i bet my rabbits love to stay here, i imagine how they run and play ...

Paulo Coelho in Aleph: Bridging The Past & The Future!

Paulo Coelho is tremendously a good writer. His writings about The Zahir always inspires me enough about relationship between two people, especially about love. I can guarantee, his book readers can go along with me. A journey of life is a good term to simplify all the moments happened in whole life. You see sometimes a person can be in the top or peak of life. Sometimes, he or she feels like there is a gap between the expectation and the reality. Somehow, we miss something in our life then we desperately don't know what it is actually. Until, we somehow go crazy about it and feel guilty for everything because we just stuck in the place we stand and go nowhere. This time, by Aleph, Paulo Coelho tried to persuade us to just simply decide and move on. In the time where we just think, when we just keep mourning, let the present can analyze what the best act to change the past and bring a change to future. Well, though we have tried to delete the actions we did at the pas...
