Orchid

Saat kau dihadapkan pada tiga pilihan, apakah kau akan memutuskan saat itu juga atau diam sambil memikirkan pilihan atau lebih memilih lari dari semuanya?

Saat kau dihadapkan pada akibat dari salah satu pilihan yang bahkan belum kau pilih, apakah kau akan melawan akibat itu, menikmati akibat itu, atau menghindar?

Yang aku tahu, aku belum memutuskan apa-apa. Masih diam di depan jendela dan membiarkan badan dan pikiran ini bertumbuh.

Just like Orchid which stays calmly over there..

“Pergeseran perspektif dan budaya pada perkawinan adat Batak zaman sekarang khususnya di kota-kota besar”

BAB I Pendahuluan I.1 Latar Belakang Perkawinan adalah sumbu tempat berputar seluruh hidup kemasyarakatan (Geurtjens dalam ‘Uit een vreemde wereld). Kebanyakan orang senantiasa menaruh perhatian yang besar terhadap hal-hal perkawinan sehingga perkawinan dalam beberapa suku terutama di Indonesia membuat perhelatan perkawinan yang beriringan dengan pelaksanaan adat dari suku itu sendiri. Perkawinan adat Batak Toba contohnya. Perkawinan adat Batak Toba telah mendapat stereotip atau perspektif sendiri dari kalangan masyarakat suku Batak itu sendiri maupun masyarakat suku lain, bahwa perkawinan adat Batak terkenal dengan pesta adatnya yang cukup lama dan rumit Beranjak dari tradisi upacara Batak tersebut, saya mengangkat penelitian pergeseran kebudayaan pada perkawinan adat batak Toba saat ini.

What makes us very happy? All the questions above can help us find out who or what we worship every day. For we humans are worshipping beings. There is always something we desire the most. Either ourselves, our money, our career, our study, or even our relationship with another human. All these temporal things fill our lives every day. Well is it wrong to do this stuff? No. We may and must do that, even anything! But... “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive” ...

Is there any light in the darkest valley?

It was Sunday and quite cloudy. It was still 4:30 p.m. but already getting dark. I decided to go for a walk to get some fresh air, hoping that my cold and headache would get better. At first, I wasn't so sure to do that, because it started to windy too. 80% could be rained on in a few minutes, and still, I kept going outside. After that scar on August 2021, I avoid listening to music while I walk. Instead, I prefer listening to podcasts. This helped me at least to stop focusing on the pain. The sermons keep "cleansing" and "preparing" me for everything ahead, including His plan in this uncertain world. And I am very thankful for that. The podcast I listened was the very first Arche Jugend podcast this year. It was about the grace of God in connection with His justice (Psalm 103). One of the messages was: *"Imagine standing alone before a hungry lion with no weapons or anything to save you from it. You will become directly afraid of being attacked and eat...

Deine Wege, Herr, tu mir kund, deine Pfade lehre mich! -Psalm 25,4
