kahlil gibran #2

Cinta yang Agung
Adalah ketika kamu menitikkan air mata
dan masih peduli terhadapnya..
Adalah ketika dia tidak mempedulikanmu dan kamu masih
menunggunya dengan setia..
Adalah ketika dia mulai mencintai orang lain
dan kamu masih bisa tersenyum sembari berkata ‘Aku
turut berbahagia untukmu’

Apabila cinta tidak berhasil
…Bebaskan dirimu…
Biarkan hatimu kembali melebarkan sayapnya
dan terbang ke alam bebas lagi..
Ingatlah…bahwa kamu mungkin menemukan cinta dan
kehilangannya..
tapi..ketika cinta itu mati..kamu tidak perlu mati
bersamanya

Orang terkuat BUKAN mereka yang selalu
menang..MELAINKAN mereka yang tetap tegar ketika
mereka jatuh..

kahlil gibran #1

Apabila cinta memberi isyarat kepadamu, ikutilah dia,
Walau jalannya sukar dan curam.
Dan pabila sayapnva memelukmu menyerahlah kepadanya.
Walau pedang tersembunyi di antara ujung-ujung sayapnya bisa melukaimu.
Dan kalau dia bicara padamu percayalah padanya.
Walau suaranya bisa membuyarkan mimpi-mimpimu bagai angin utara mengobrak-abrik taman.
Karena sebagaimana cinta memahkotai engkau, demikian pula dia
kan menyalibmu.

Sebagaimana dia ada untuk pertumbuhanmu, demikian pula dia ada untuk pemanakasanmu.

Sebagaimana dia mendaki kepuncakmu dan membelai mesra ranting-rantingmu nan paling lembut yang bergetar dalam cahaya matahari.
Demikian pula dia akan menghunjam ke akarmu dan mengguncang-guncangnya di dalam cengkeraman mereka kepada kami.
Laksana ikatan-ikatan dia menghimpun engkau pada dirinya sendiri.

Dia menebah engkau hingga engkau telanjang.
Dia mengetam engkau demi membebaskan engkau dari kulit arimu.
Dia menggosok-gosokkan engkau sampai putih bersih.
Dia merembas engkau hingga kau menjadi liar;
Dan kemudian dia mengangkat engkau ke api sucinya.

Sehingga engkau bisa menjadi roti suci untuk pesta kudus Tuhan.

Semua ini akan ditunaikan padamu oleh Sang Cinta, supaya bisa kaupahami rahasia hatimu, dan di dalam pemahaman dia menjadi sekeping hati Kehidupan.

Namun pabila dalam ketakutanmu kau hanya akan mencari kedamaian dan kenikmatan cinta.Maka lebih baiklah bagimu kalau kaututupi ketelanjanganmu dan menyingkir dari lantai-penebah cinta.

Memasuki dunia tanpa musim tempat kaudapat tertawa, tapi tak seluruh gelak tawamu, dan menangis, tapi tak sehabis semua airmatamu.

Mengenali penderitaan dari kelembutan yang begitu jauh.
Merasa dilukai akibat pemahamanmu sendiri tenung cinta;
Dan meneteskan darah dengan ikhlas dan gembira.
Terjaga di kala fajar dengan hati seringan awan dan mensyukuri hari haru penuh cahaya kasih;

Istirah di kala siang dan merenungkan kegembiraan cinta yang meluap-luap;Kembali ke rumah di kala senja dengan rasa syukur;

Dan lalu tertidur dengan doa bagi kekasih di dalam hatimu dan sebuah gita puji pada bibirmu.
