Incision

I died.

In the introduction of "Nuns and Soldiers" (Vintage Classics version) by Iris Murdoch, Karen Armstrong wrote:

"Not everyone is capable of this type of self-abandonment, however. Yet we all need to be saved from our fear of death and our suspicion that life is essentially without meaning. We all seek ecstacy and an experience that takes us beyond ourselves. If we do not find this in conventional religion, we turn to art, music of all sorts, dance, sex, sport or even to drugs. This search from some form of transcedence is basic to our condition."

I decided to read the intro before the main novel itself. Don't ask me why. And I'm glad I did.

Song / Lagu : Menanti Pasti by Siti Nurhaliza
Lyrics / Lirik :

Kegelapan malam ini menyesakkan jiwa
Tanpa bintang untuk aku mimpikan mimpimu
Aku…merindu indah bulan
Menyuluh kelam malam
Mengharap bintang akan bersinar

Kesepian hati ini mengundang derita
Penantian satu seksa bila tanpa balas
Aku…menanti kata hati
Darimu satu pasti
Mengharap mimpi akan hakiki

KORUS
Cinta
Bisikanlah asmaraku
Padanya gelora di kalbu
Hembusan nafas ini hanyalah kepadanya
Mencintai setulus hati

Cinta
Bukakanlah asmaranya
Padaku setia menunggu
Antara kau dan aku adanya persamaan
Untuk cinta bersemi nanti

Andai ada di hatimu
Ruang cinta itu
Kan ku simpan anugerah
Ke akhir hayatku

Menanti pasti
