Ketika cinta memanggilmu ikutlah dengannya
meskipun jalan yang harus kau tempuh keras dan terjal
ketika sayap-sayapnya merengkuhmu serahkan dirimu padanya
meskipun pedang-pedang yang ada dibalik sayap-sayap itu
mungkin akan melukaimu dan jika ia bicara padamu,
percayalah meskipun suaranya akan membuyarkan mimpi-mimpi.... (Kahlil Gibran)
When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams.... (Kahlil Gibran)
===================
After some years,.. I looked back, to times when I and her discussed this. So deep, so wide, so long. Tiring and exhausting. You could not understand. You could not accept it. Yet, it is the truth. I learned a lot. Yet these words, true just as they were, some years ago to me.
