Patah Hati pada Tanah

Instagram

Have you ever romantically fall in love? Feeling the warm electric pulse going from your heart to your whole back, the whole body, to the tip of your fingers?

I felt it to the land of Bumi Ayu on a train ride to Jogja, last year I think. I couldn’t believe I could fall in love romantically with the trees, the rice fields, the leaves and the sky.

Have you ever feel broken-hearted? Feeling the intense pain from your heart flowing outward, pressing your chest, your neck, your whole body, making you cry intensely?

I felt it today also. I saw a defrosted land, then some trees behind it. I felt their presence, their unspoken words.

I understand morally, conceptually and intellectually how wrong it is to exploit the forest. But to feel them and be totally broken-hearted is intense.

As if they keep telling me that soon, they will be fallen also.

There is a sense of helplessness. There is a sense of guilt. It is a real pain and suffering for them, for us, for everyone, for all beings.

I just walked in the front and cried by myself. Not wanting to be seen.

Arriving alone by the riverside, I understand that everything will be torn in the river deep.

Thanks for the impromptu videos @lidwinaudrey
