Food for Soul (Dish 1)

I will start this page by stating that I'll try my best to make it at least bilingual: Indonesian and English. I'm trying to write Indonesian in its formal form, but maybe I'll use slang every now and then. So will I with English. Maybe I'll use British way, maybe American. Maybe I'll even write with English in a post. Maybe in other language. Whatever I feel right in the moment. Hope you guys won't mind.

Second, I hope you'll enjoy me sharing some food for soul. Maybe it's suitable for you, maybe not. I'll leave it to you to decide. I gather the ingredients from my own self reflection with some advice, wisdom, and guidance from here and there. Maybe if the person I'm quoting is willing to be quoted, I'll write the name, or maybe I'll just put some code names from them.

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy the food. Here's the first dish.

Letakkan setiap hal pada tempatnya

Letakkan setiap hal pada tempatnya

Biarkan paru-paru bernafas, bukan perut

Biarkan anak menjadi anak, orang tua menjadi orang tua

Biarkan otak berfikir, bukan merasa

Biarkan hati merasa, bukan berfikir

Biarkan setiap hal berfungsi, sesuai kodratnya

Letakkan segala hal pada tempatnya, sesuai masanya

Put Everything in Its Place

Put every thing in its place

Let your lungs breathe, not your stomach

Let children be children, parents be parents

Let your brain think, not feel

Let your heart feel, not think

Let each thing function, according to its nature

Put everything in its place, according to its time
