BELIEVE IT OR NOT : Malam hari dengan 2 bulan!!!

Sore tadi saya membaca 1 email di milist TCI.. bunyinya seperti ini:

"Malam hari dengan 2 buah bulan. Jangan sampai terlewatkan kesempatanlangka yang hanya terjadi dalam 2280 tahun sekali saja!!!

Seluruh dunia menantikan planet Bumi kita mempunyai 2 buah bulan pada 27Agustus 2007 nanti.Planet Mars akan terlihat sangat terang di langit mulai awal Agustus.Planet Mars akan terlihat sebesar bulan planet Bumi kita dengan matatelanjang saja. Dan puncaknya akan terlihat seperti bulan purnama(full moon) pada tanggal 27 Agustus jam 00.30 malam senin pagi dinihari, saat jarak Mars dengan Bumi kita hanya sekitar 34.65M miles.Jangan sampai terlewatkan untuk 'menatap' langit yang akan sepertimemiliki 2 buah bulan, karena jarak terdekat seperti itu hanya akanterjadi lagi di tahun 2287 yang akan datang.

Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again"

Terserah mau percaya atau tidak.. tapi kalau penasaran mau lihat juga kan ngak apa2 .......

"Telling others is the key to changing your wishes into dreams."

You know that "dream" you have?
The one that nobody else knows about?
That isn't a dream. It is a wish! We all have things we secretly wish would happen.

But those aren't dreams. In order to change that wish into a dream, you have to tell somebody about it!

That gets it out into the realm of something you are actually pursuing, rather than something you are just hoping or wishing for.

"But what do I do, just walk up to somebody and say, 'Hey, want to hear my dream?'"

Well, sure, that works. But you could also start the conversation by saying, "I have a question for you: What is your dream?"

Two things will happen. One, you will foster their wish into a dream and secondly, when they finish, they will say, "So, what's yours?" BINGO!

Action Point:
Have at least two conversations today about your dream. Then do the same tomorrow and the next day - with different people!

CORETAN SAHABAT KECILKU

Tadi pagi saya menghapus banyak email di outlook saya.. tiba-tiba saya menemukan 1 email dari sahabat "kecil" ku... Elsye Christieyani buat saya. Teringat saya bagaimana proses perkenalan saya dengan di Che (demikian dia sering dipanggil) di dunia maya..

---------------

Saya 'berkenalan' secara tidak sengaja dengan seseorang cewek cantik dan baik hati (menurut mata hati saya) melalui suatu yayasan anak-anak kurang mampu. Namanya Elsye Christieyani yang biasa saya panggil dengan nama kesayangannya, Che. Kemudian saya mengetahui kalau Che sering sekali terlibat dalam acara-acara kerohanian Katholik dan sangat dekat dengan anak-anak yang kurang mampu. Si Che (menurut mata hati saya), adalah anak mempunyai inner beauty. Saya tidak tahu, kenapa saya bisa klop dengan anak yang satu ini ... mungkin karena insting keibuan saya saja.

Beberapa kali kami ingin ketemu darat, tetapi tidak ter-realisasi.. ada saja kendalanya.. tetapi kita beberapa kali ketemu via telepon dan SMS. Che banyak curhat di telepon dan email tentang banyak hal. Saya sudah dianggap sebagai ibu, tante, kakak, teman oleh Che... Akhirnya kami sepakat untuk ketemu setelah aku balik dari Bali.

Tetapi, suatu saat saya menerima email dan sms yang menyatakan bahwa si Che yang cantik ini kecelakaan .. ditrabrak mobil.... dan "koma".. shock... mencoba menelepon tidak bisa tersambung, soalnya hpnya terblock.. saya tidak bisa mengunjungi rumah sakit, karena ada beberapa pelatihan yang tidak bisa di cancel. Yang hanya bisa saya lakukan adalah mencari tahu tentang keadaannya melalui teman-teman relawan yayasan tersebut. Shock saya yang kedua adalah Che harus menjalankan operasi kepala .... oh Tuhan, lindungilah anak yang baik hati ini... beri dia kesembuhan total.... jamah dia dan beri dia kesempatan untuk menikmati waktu muda nya dengan lebih baik lagi. Amin.

Suatu waktu, saya mendapat surprise sebuah SMS yang dikirim oleh Che yaitu "Ibu, ini Che, katanya aku ada janji ketemu ibu? kapan ya bu ? janji apa ya bu ?"

Aku hanya bisa berkata "puji Tuhan" anak ini sudah sembuh dan sekarang sudah bisa berkomunikasi... aku jawab ia dan menanyakan apa khabar, bagaimana dia sekarang dll.

Satu hal yang tidak bisa saya lupakan, adalah pertanyaan dia selanjutnya yaitu.. "saya harus panggil apa ya ? ibu, tante, kakak, mbak atau apa? soalnya sekarang saya banyak lupa". Saya bilang banyaklah membaca, kemudian menceritakan kembali, dan jangan banyak mikir yang macam-macam... Tapi Puji Tuhan, akhirnya si Che sembuh kembali dan sekarang banyak yang bisa dia ingat..

Kemudian... percakapan terus berlanjut sampai saat ini dan keadaan si Che yang cantik dan senang buat puisi (katanya bukan puisi sih).. semakin akrab walaupun belum juga kita sempat ketemu. Saya minta dibuatkan puisi buat saya.. apa saja... dan di bawah ini adalah sebuah catatan / coretan tangan si Che buat saya yang dikirim via email Agustus yang lalu...

Terima kasih Che...... semoga sembuh total ya manis ..... salam sayang buat mama juga di Cirebon..

Makasih ya
(as your request)

Di luar sana, sang mentari hangati hatiku
yang kadang suka dingin membeku
Di luar sana, sang mentari sinari hatiku
yang kadang juga suka meredup
Tuhan itu baik

Ia juga kenalkan aku dengan seorang Ibu Carlina
Aku belum pernah bertemu dengannya
Lewati rentang waktu dan jarak hanya lewat email aja

Suatu hari, Tuhan membuatku mengenal suaranya
Ya, Bu Lina meneleponku dan menyadarkanku
alasan Tuhan masih beri aku HIDUP
"BUKAN hanya karena Tuhan masih sayang aku,
Tapi, jauh LEBIH dari itu,
Ia ingin hidupku bisa LEBIH baik,
LEBIH berarti dan LEBIH bermakna lagi"

Tak akan kulupa rangkaian kata-kata emas itu
Walau belum pernah bertemu
Tapi kumerasa DEKAT

Terimakasih untuk doa-doa Ibu
Terimakasih untuk dukungan semangatmu

Berkat berlimpah
Rahmat melimpah
Kumohonkan selalu padaNya
tuk Ibu Carlina
