Morning has broken Anyer 1 (c) ukirsari - Carita

* Morning has broken during my trip Jakarta - Anyer by the tollway. And there, I found the beautiful colors ... painting at the sky. Like a "message" from the mother nature; I have to take my sadness away, since everyday is a new day. Time to wake up and encouraging myself!*

A neverending story

Krakatoa 1 (c) ukirsari

Whenever I was a kid, sometimes I got confused. Which one I love more than other: sea [ocean] or mountain. But my Daddy gave me 'enlightment' words: the ocean [also seas and beaches] is the place where you share the sadness, place to mirroring yourself whenever you're down, place to see the sunrise or sunset and 'catch' the changing hue of colors ~which can be placed deeply into my heart and keep it 'burning' for my own spirit. Meanwhile, mountain is a place to exile and contemplating, finding the essential of myself.
So here I am. Mourning times .... losing [best] friends and beloved ones which are going somewhere ... I try to 'tell' my stories to the blue water of Anyer Beach. But not only sadness make my footprints appears at the sandy beach of Anyer. Visiting the light house and the monumental route Anyer - Panarukan Postweg also interesting for me. It's just like a neverending story, since I delegate myself to visit here for my dear friend; Azim Rakhmatov ~Uzbekistan-born now staying at Kazakhstan~ who live so far away from the ocean. The closest of him are Aral Sea (ãr'l) and Caspian Sea which are takes hundred kilometres. So Azim, wherever you are ... do not be afraid you will never see your beloved beaches and ocean again :) I am here ... Anyer just takes 'minutes' from Jakarta and being here, I always remember you! Ja govorit pravdu, moj luna ....
