a perspective - II

now i'm arrived at jakarta; leaving my hometown, following my parents as they settle down in here. the first time i'm stepping out from plane is the heat wave of jakarta greets me with the feeling of burnt in my face. along with the journey to home, all i can tell is jakarta so very jam-packed (the first time i added 'macet' in my dictionary) compares to my hometown. sighs....
oh, i'm almost forgetting. the first time and i wish i could turn back to that time, is (when i'm at the schoolyard back in my hometown) i saw the sun's halo¹ shape as a ring of rainbow in a perfect clear sky without burns my eyes out. that were the first time i believe there is a powerful force beyond my imagination and sight. i believe the existence of God that day.

¹ a halo is a ring of light surrounding the sun or moon. most halos appear as bright white rings but in some instances, the dispersion of light as it passes through ice crystals found in upper level cirrus clouds can cause a halo to have color..
