Pensil Hidup: Tuhan dalam Mangkok

Selasa, 24 Juni 2008

Tuhan yang ku temukan di mangkok buah tadi pagi bukanlah Tuhan.

Tuhan yang ku makan dalam nasi lemak tadi siang bukanlah Tuhan.

Tuhan yang ku masukan dalam saku celana jean bukanlah Tuhan.

Tuhan yang ku dengar dalam sesayup hening malam diantara suara jengkrik juga bukanlah Tuhan.

Tuhan yang ku hirup dalam hembusan gerimis senja itu juga bukanlah Tuhan.

Tuhan yang ku ketik dalam layar notebook juga bukan Tuhan.

lalu?

Tuhan sejatinya Zat yang tak dapat ku peluk ..

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

to be understood, as to understand;

to be loved, as to love;

for it is in giving that we receive,

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
