from the many spots in jakarta, i love tjikini street the most. occupied with many old buildings lining up from the post office to taman ismail marzuki, i always find myself so accessible to eternity, whenever i spend mornings, noons and nights here. i often have myself lost in the window view, whenever raindrops pouring down, or a bread seller cycling in the road.
many acquaintances happen, more and more each day the street gets more personalized.
there are many corners, seats and songs to come by ever day.

going home
some people say "home is where the heart is". so, there might be no clear definition whether it should be a place, a location or simply refers to something abstract, an idea. well, in cases for refugees, they might say those are homeless because they do not have a concrete building to stay and let their lives happen in it. but in cases for those who refuge themselves from any physical definition, a place called home is where you can feel content and satisfied with all you have. and for the word--where the heart is--refers a person that dear to us.
of course, there are many people who we love dearly, but among those special ones, who is the one that make you can not live without. from time to time, we try to deny the truth due to reality does not suit with our inner voice. and thus, we define the soul searching has not ended yet and carried on until we stop to the real home. along the way, we construct what we want to believe, we accept the reality that belongs to us, we cherish people destined to meet along the way, we create new dreams as the sign boards in our journeys. we pick and choose all the details in life in order to make a clear picture of our own imagination. but what if, some day, our truth is being challenged? should we react and reconstruct, or just disregard because nothing is perfect and truth needs a test of time to affirm its prudent. a genuine value of 'our' universe.
once the test is passed, we can convince that is our home. where our heart can rest assured that we are safe to inhibit this world. because in times of trouble and joy, we can always have destination to seek salvation.
