Above is a short video clip of an ancient tradition held in the island of Java for centuries. The song and its composition depict an event related to the main harvest of the year prior to it being commenced.Today is July 1, 2020 CE. I apologize for very the mundane and uninteresting stories as I am retired and have no access to resources available. To put in a nutshell, I do not have access to corpus unlike reporters or professional reporters. Frankly I expect zero pageviews and I write merely to shed off excess stress and tension inside me. In Indonesian the correct word to describe such a situation is "acak-acak" or "serampangan".
I am now trying to learn more about my creator. This was as a result the decisions and choices made by mere mortals like myself are flawed and defective. During this last couple of years I have heard about the deaths of 4 of my ex-classmates. They were good people, righteous, did what was right in the eyes of God, no vices and a through and through dedicated family persons. Yet they were plucked in the prime of their lives and their families left to grieve. Death is very difficult thing to accept. For all its pains, shortcomings, and failures, it is the only life we have experienced thus far as humans. Granted we have been told and even read about the wonderful things awaiting us when we exit this world albeit we obey and follow certain tenets spelt out clearly before us, yet it does not make us responsive, or excited about the "thing" that will befall all of us eventually. In short after spending so much time learning his precepts and trying ot understand HIM, I am not even one step closer to the goal since when I first started on this pilgrimage of knowledge, both spiritual and physical.
Perhaps the flaw lies in us trying to understand HIM by the way we approach the subject, what I mean is that we cannot "learn" about HIM and our faith, the way we learn about Physics, Mathematics, Medicine, Engineering etc.etc. HE is Spirit and the way we humans craft our thoughts and act on them is diametrically oppossite to His ways. Meaning even if we had a IQ of 200 and an acclaimed genius in our field of study, but we would be found totally wanting and ignorant when it comes up and faces the Almighty. One cannot or it is totally impossible to put down in words when we want to describe the Spirit for the Spirit is not hampered by time or space, but we are.
But the Almighty has taught us to be as little children and to trust and believe totally in the Father just like a little one would. Let the smart people of the world play with their smart abd silly little games that seems amuse them.
