Cisca ZarmansyahShe was a blind girl who loved her boyfriend so much. She always said, "I'll marry you if I can see you suddenly." Once someone donated eyes to her. She was very happy, but she was shocked when she saw her boyfriend also blind. Then her boyfriend asked her, "Will you marry me now?" She refused him very rudely. But he didn't say a single word to her. He just left the place with smiling face, left a letter for her and saying, "Please, take care of my eyes..."

On the corner is playing "All the world is waiting for the sunrise" on his flute.
Occasional coins fall into the can. On breaks, he fingers them. Each becomes an eye that opens on another world. Before the warmth leaves them, his fingers catch glimpses of other lives. Scenes reflected in soap bubbles or caught behind windows at night just before someone turns off the light.
Later, in his room, counting the day's toll. They cast cold glances back on him, giving away less than dead men's eyes.
He is an apt student and had learned the world by sight. Before, at seven, his eyes gave out. Falling asleep, the rest of us sometimes awaken later with darkness, remembering nothing, no trace of another world.
He falls into sleep and a whole world spreads its table for him. Each time, coming back, he is born into darkness again. It's like shedding rainbows in his wake as he returns to seeing the world through donated eyes.

I do not love you except because I love you
I go from loving to not loving you
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire
I love you only because it's you the one I love
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly
Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm
In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.

What do you see, nurses, what do you see?
Are you thinking, when you look at me
A crabby old woman, not very wise
Uncertain of habit, with far-away eyes
Who dribbles her food and makes no replyWhen you say in a loud voice ,"I do wish you'd try."
Who seems not to notice the things that you do
And forever is losing a stocking or shoe
Who unresisting or not, lets you do as you will
With bathing and feeding, the long day to fill
Is that what you're thinking, is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse, you're looking at me
I'll tell you who I am, as I sit here so still
As I rise at your bidding, as I eat at your will
I'm a small child of ten with a father and mother
Brothers and sisters, who love one another
A young girl of sixteen with wings on her feet
Dreaming that soon now a lover she'll meet
A bride soon at twenty -- my heart gives a leap
Remembering the vows that I promised to keep
At twenty-five now I have young of my own
Who need me to build a secure, happy home
A woman of thirty, my young now grow fast
Bound to each other with ties that should last
At forty, my young sons have grown and are gone
But my man's beside me to see I don't mourn
At fifty once more babies play 'round my knee
Again we know children, my loved one and me
Dark days are upon me, my husband is dead
I look at the future, I shudder with dread
For my young are all rearing young of their own
And I think of the years and the love that I've known
I'm an old woman now and nature is cruel
'Tis her jest to make old age look like a fool
The body is crumbled, grace and vigor depart
There is now a stone where once I had a heart
But inside this old carcass a young girl still dwells
And now and again my battered heart swells
I remember the joys, I remember the pain
And I'm loving and living life over again
I think of the years, all too few -- gone too fast
And accept the stark fact that nothing can last
So I open your eyes, nurses, open and see
Not a crabby old woman, look closer, nurses -- see me!

* GOVERNMENT
It may be long before the law of love will be recognized in international affairs. The machineries of government stand between and hide the hearts of one people from those of another.
*GOD
As soon as we lose the moral basis, we cease to be religious. There is no such thing as religion over-riding morality. Man, for instance, cannot be untruthful, cruel or incontinent and claim to have God on his side.

Cisca Zarmansyah GANDHI's TALISMAN
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man /woman whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him/her. Will he/she gain anything by it? Will it restore him/her to a control over his/her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."
Cisca ZarmansyahIn the hustle and bustle atmosphere, yesterday I took off the clown mask from my face. Suddenly, a little girl who was standing close to me screaming and crying. This invited the attention of her mother. She came up to me and scolded, "You already know that my daughter is afraid of clown. Why do you take it off from your face?" Finally, because I didn't want the little girl afraid, I wore the mask again. I thought it was the best scene for that little girl, her mother and ... me. From behind my mask, I was glad to see them smile again. But they never knew I was smiling back to them from behind the clown mask.
