A break, a pause, a temporary stop. Selah. A space for a shelter and take a rest for a while from the business and the rush of life that seems to be impatient. A room to reflect from what has happened, to obtain a lesson from what is happening. An area to prepare the selfContinue reading “Selah”

Riuh

Apa yang lebih riuh dari hiruk pikuk lalu lintas Jakarta kala jam sibuk menerpa?yang lebih aktif berkelana dari lalu lalang para pekerja? yang lebih pelik dari padatnya permukiman di sudut ruas kota?yang lebih berkecamuk dari petir pada masa kejayaannya?dan yang lebih menantang dari kerasnya ibukota?
