Full Circle of Life

Exactly one year ago, we went to Europe for a vacation. When we were in Germany, we met student from one of the University there who told us – my husband actually – to apply for a master degree there. We thought, “wouldn't hurt to try, we've got nothing to lose anyway”. So my husband did apply and got accepted three days later.

When we came back to Indonesia, we still had undecided decision whether or not to take that opportunity. Two months after that, my husband decided to go and take those challenge, so he went to Germany last year. Little did that we know, our decision changed our life forever.

Now here I am, am boarding my plane to Germany to join my husband who studied there exactly on the same month that we went for our vacation last year. It's like life comes to a full circle one whole year. I have no feelings of regret whatsoever, am only blessing everything I have now, blessing this moment and every step that we take this whole year. I hope we could overcome whatever comes and awaiting for us in the future with an open mind and courageous heart.

"disaat waktu berhenti...kosong
dimensi membutakan mata,memekakkan telinga
lalu diri menjadi hampa
saat paradigma dunia tak lagi digunakan untuk menerka
sadarku akan hadirmu,mematahkan sendi2 yang biasanya tegak berdiri

sujudku pun takkan memuaskan inginku
'tuk hanturkan sembah sedalam kalbu
adapun kusembahkan syukur padamu ya Allah
untuk nama,harta dan keluarga yang mencinta
dan perjalanan yang sejauh ini tertempa
alhamdulillah pilihan dan kesempatan
yang membuat hamba mengerti lebih baik tentang makna diri
semua lebih berarti apabila dihayati
Alhamdulillah.... "
(quoted from Dian Sastro - Alhamdulillah, Too Phat)
