WISDOM

I looked back of years elapsed

of the faultiness I have carved

of the truths I have discovered

as far as my wings spread

to open each gate laid ahead

to reveal each layered steps

with delight or sorrows

I looked my reflection at heart

when it grew calm and sober

into a solitude of selfness

then right in front of my eyes

i beheld each chapter of lifes

oh, how life had showed the truth

in an exchange of my youth

A Poem Of Rumi

The garden of Love
is green without limit
and yields many fruits
other than sorrow and joy.
Love is beyond either
condition:
without spring,
without autumn,
it is always fresh.

-- Jelaluddin Rumi

He's Getting Sick

It's been four days, my little nephew's hospitalized. It started last Saturday when his temperature was up and down. He didn't eat much as any food was immediately thrown up after being swolen....usually even in his sickness, he still had pretty good appetite. He wanted to be cudled in his mother's arms all the time...when she tried to put him in bed, he would cry. May be he found much comfort in her arms...that caused much problem as he didn't want anyone to replace her ...his father tried to cuddled him but he cried. It's as if he wanted no one else than his dear mother. The general doctor's prescription did not help much.

So, they had to take him to the hospital. And i was worried about him. The weather is unpredictable here. Sometimes, it's so hot during the day, then suddenly it rains hard in the afternoon...it's dry for a couple of days then changed suddenly into hard raining. This condition had made many children struck by various ilnesses. After being examined, the pediatrician told them that the symptoms showed him having a dengue fever. His hemoglobin level was a little bit abnormal so he had to stay in hospital after he got better.

I was sorry to hear this as i could not rush to see him...still have to work here...I'll be able to visit him only this weekend... I pray he gets well soon...i phoned them every day...yesterday, my brother told me that he's been better. The fever is stil up and down but he's now able to eat...a laugh a bit when i hear him on the phone....playing with some toys...it's quite releiving

I had bad impression with dengue fever. It had taken away one of my brothers before i met him. I wasn't born yet when my oldest brother got such fever. He was only five or six, so my mom told me. It was in 1970's where transporation was still rare and hospitals were miles away. When my father got to the hospital, it was too late. He died at 5...sometimes, i wonder what it would be like if he's still alive....surely i would have two brothers

But then i think may be it's for the best. He would be in heaven now for as a child he has not yet committed a sin.

Another Fitna on Islam

http://www.reuters.com/article/blogBurst/entertainment?type=entertainmentNews&w1=B7ovpm21IaDoL40ZFnNfGe&w2=B7uKSLYIvxu3zDSUkrYJp2Xj&src=blogBurst_entertainmentNews&bbPostId=B3n2BGd6CDaJCz6dfKZWPZ9c1Cz4xoBDpnEULjAEUxxv4axVD&bbParentWidgetId=B7uKSLYIvxu3zDSUkrYJp2Xj

After a series of most offensive caricature of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Denmark, now another fitna created by a dutch politician, Geert Wilders. I wonder how come he made such statement about his film while he had never read Qur'an completely. It was false accusation that was rendered all the times, perhaps until the day of Judgement.

The film had aroused many protests throughout many regions in my country. Many do not accept such false image of Islam, even the government had made its official objection and condemned the film to be seriously offended muslims.

It's good to see a good review on this film by an international news media. At least, after the horrid short film by Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders called Fitna that discredited Islam. Though I might say that I personally like its novel version more. The novel is so much more beautiful. I hope soon it will be translated in foreign languages so everyone could enjoy reading it.
