Paper Flower


"Because you were born when the Mother's tongue had been cut by the Father, since the Mother could not hear her own voice. Mother could not talk, either in the lips and hearts. Father was not only adept at cutting the tongue, but he could also hear the Sound of Mother's Heart. He was very jealous when watching Mother sang in the presence of a King.

At that moment you were born, the beautiful Princess of Wilting. Princess of the Gloomy Days," said Genie the gatekeeper, telling about me.

After cutting the Mother tongue, Father still curious looking for a King who had been treated with singing by Mother. The King was carried away by the wind when Father came. He did not help the Mother, because he thought a King should be pure from the blood. (Damn you! Shameless! Hobo King!)

When Father went away, Genie -- the Father's messengers -- wandering around the house. Mother could not talk to anyone because she just lived alone, and I had not been able to talk to.

"Now I'm dumb, I do not have words because your tongue disappeared. Mom, where could I find the words?"

Mother smiled at me, knowing I was not dumb. I just did not have any friends to talk. She then opened the door that never opened before and allowed me to go find someone to talk to.

All the people I had met were the ones who just told themselves. They never wanted to know about me. They talked without ever care about me. I did not need their conversation because I did not know them. So I was looking for someone to talk to wherever my feet away.

After almost stiff with cold seasons, on a blue morning a man looked at me. He gave me a scarf and wrapped it around my neck. It was said that he was a storyteller. I often found him in the blazing noon, he was outlining his words. I ever listened to his fairy tale on a night melt by the cold wind. At the time, his fairy tale was about a country which its people faces beamed as they had a place to store the fairytales for narrated. At that time I did not understand why the residents faces could light up just because they could tell each one another.

Through a letter entrusted by him to a white dove, the man gave his answer. "Because the empty heart needs a fairy tale for its consolation."

Unfortunately my destiny with the white dove also just a few moments, as he finally died. I wanted to find him because my heart was so empty, and I needed a fairy tale.

On a white afternoon, we met again. He told a fairy tale to me all day. Slowly my heart opened, such as the rose petals, blooming one by one to reveal the most beautiful part of themselves : a lot of stigma. The flower's pistil.

The man had filled my heart. His fairy tale was a fairy tale about me. "A grass flower which previously not much flowering due to the cold -- because the sun is not much to touch -- now have many flowering." he said.

I shed tears. "Yes, it gave birth to a bright color because you always give me the sun," I said.

"That's why you call me a storyteller man," he muttered.

In a green garden chair, we talked about each of ourselves. "You are so beautiful with the beautiful words, do you realize that?" he asked.

I did not answer him. I just looked at his lips that never tired to speak, leaning my head on his chest beating slowly. Because I was still leaning to him, he finally asked, "Why are you just silent?"

I said that I was remembering a pigeon ever given to me. "I really love him, but he died. Are you also going to go like him?"

He took my hand, squeezed it gently and kissed it gently. "We have to move like the wind blows. After you give birth to your flowers, as you can tell the stories, maybe we'll split up. Maybe the wind will take me to the other empty heart, and you must tell the lonely hearts. Together with love, we will stick together, even though we will never see each other again."

I listened to him with a hollow heart.

"Do not. Do not you ever filled by emptiness again," he said. "I have given the fairy tales. Embrace them all. Strengthen yourself with my fairy tales. Remember the fairy tale about a brave sailor sailing the ocean ferociously. Remember that what is in his heart at that time is only the belief that wherever we are, the sky still remain above us. The sky has a lot of wealth: the sun, the stars, the moon. There's rain will wash us when we need freshness. In the vastness of the ocean, the sky wealth will guide the sailor in sailing. In the fierce storm, there is a constancy of self that makes him a brave man."

I hugged him tightly, as did not want to be separated from him. "Yes, I will always remember your words in the fairy tale." I said softly.

"Now tell me your fairy tale," he said.

I then told him about the Earth which sailing the seasons. Earth was a female, she's a messenger of the Kingdom of Light.

Before being sent out, the Earth equipped with a hair ornament of gold. With her gold clasp, the Earth wading through a sea of ​​various seasons: vast and uninhabited. When there was a Storm Unification between the heat of dry season and the overflow of rain water hit her, the Earth managed to escape, but her gold clasp has disappeared, whereas it was the richness that could only be obtained from the Kingdom of Light .

The Season changed again, hitting back the Earth. The Earth had lost her fortune. She was very sad looking where the hell gold clasp fell down. The Season never stopped hitting her. The Earth underwent the season after season to rediscover the golden clasp, because her job was almost over. The Earth had experienced a malignancy of the Season, but she could not get back before finding her clasp.

"Then, does she rediscover her gold clasp?" he asked. I replied that until now she was still looking for it.

"Your tale is beautiful. Then let us wade through the season after season, just like that woman." he said.

We took a walk around the cool green parks, such as going to split up on the next day. Since then, we really split up, because there were still many empty heart needed the tales.

My heart was already warmer now, because I had a lot of fairy tales. I met the Mother, I wanted to tell my stories to her about my meeting with him. But it turned out the house was empty, uninhabited.

In her chair, I found A pair of Eyes : Mother's Eyes. Apparently Father had known that she allowed me to go. Father rushed to go home and leaving only the Mother's Eyes for me.

I could never see her again. Every night I dreamed of her. I told her about my Storyteller Man.

Now I am alone. I decided to sail to a country which its people yearning for a fairy tale. But, before my ship docked -- from the distance -- I saw Father was cutting the people's tongue. Their screams made my soul tremble.

WORLD net DAILY 22 November 2001 : The real meaning of Thanksgiving - by JOSEPH FARAH

There are many myths and misconceptions surrounding the people responsible for the American Thanksgiving tradition. Contrary to popular opinion, the Pilgrims didn't wear buckles on their shoes or hats. They weren't teetotalers, either. They smoked tobacco and drank beer. And, most importantly, their first harvest festival and subsequent "thanksgivings" weren't held to thank the local natives for saving their lives.

Do you know there are public schools in America today actually teaching that? Some textbooks, in their discomfort with open discussions of Christianity, say as much. I dare suggest most parents today know little more about this history than their children.

Yet, there is no way to divorce the spiritual from the celebration of Thanksgiving – at least not the way the Pilgrims envisioned it, a tradition dating back to the ancient Hebrews and their feasts of Succoth and Passover.

The Pilgrims came to America for one reason – to form a separate community in which they could worship God as they saw fit. They had fled England because King James I was persecuting those who did not recognize the Church of England’s absolute civil and spiritual authority.

On the two-month journey of 1620, William Bradford and the other elders wrote an extraordinary charter – the Mayflower Compact. Why was it extraordinary? Because it established just and equal laws for all members of their new community – believers and non-believers alike. Where did they get such revolutionary ideas? From the Bible, of course.

When the Pilgrims landed in the New World, they found a cold, rocky, barren, desolate wilderness. There were no friends to greet them, Bradford wrote. No houses to shelter them. No inns where they could refresh themselves. During the first winter, half the Pilgrims died of sickness or exposure – including Bradford's wife. Though life improved for the Pilgrims when spring came, they did not really prosper. Why? Once again, the textbooks don't tell the story, but Bradford's own journal does. The reason they didn't succeed initially is because they were practicing an early form of socialism.

The original contract the Pilgrims had with their merchant-sponsors in London called for everything they produced to go into a common store. Each member of the community was entitled to one common share. All of the land they cleared and the houses they built belonged to the community. Bradford, as governor, recognized the inherent problem with this collectivist system.

"The experience that was had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years … that by taking away property, and bringing community into common wealth, would make them happy and flourishing – as if they were wiser than God", Bradford wrote. "For this community [so far as it was] was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. For young men that were most able and fit for labor and service did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children without any recompense … that was thought injustice."

What a surprise! Even back then people did not want to work without incentive. Bradford decided to assign a plot of land to each family to work and manage, thus turning loose the power of free enterprise. What was the result?

"This had very good success," wrote Bradford, "For it made all hands industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been."

As a result, the Pilgrims soon found they had more food than they could eat themselves. They set up trading posts and exchanged goods with the Indians. The profits allowed them to pay off their debts to the merchants in London much faster than expected. The success of the Plymouth colony thus attracted more Europeans and set off what we call the “Great Puritan Migration."

But it wasn't just an economic system that allowed the Pilgrims to prosper. It was their devotion to God and His laws. And that's what Thanksgiving is really all about. The Pilgrims recognized that everything we have is a gift from God – even our sorrows. Their Thanksgiving tradition was established to honor God and thank Him for His blessings and His grace.

Today we continue that tradition in my home – and I hope in yours. God bless you, God bless America, and Happy Thanksgiving.

Right! My late father was not a fascist. He could not dictate to me for whatever I would do with my spit when saying my opinion. Swallowed by my own. Numb. Or to his attempt to dismiss my tears every time I recalled all of our conversations. Tik.Tik.Tik.

*One More Thing
Everytime my baby is having difficulty swallowing food that I think it's too big for his throat, I do not chew it but I grind it with a spoon until the meal size becomes smaller. And if he does not want to swallow it, I take the most practical shortcut: I chew it for myself. Done.

My little darling, mommy eating your food because you do not like it and the mom does not have the heart to throw it. When you do not want to eat -- while there's plenty of nutritious food available to you -- you should be considerate to a lot of malnourished babies in this world. They want to eat but nothing can be eaten.

Mom is not mad at you, but mom is teaching you about something else that is more valuable than simply throwing all the food you do not like, understand?


What? Wow. Stop your lecture, Cisca! No need to pretend to teach your baby about the weight issues if what you really want is eating the baby's food, ehhehehe ... feel like want to be a baby again, maybe?)

Odessa Girls - Ukraine. With its seemingly endless supply of beautiful young, single women, Odessa, on the frontier of the ex-Soviet union, is fast becoming the seedy new tourist magnet for single American men of all ages. "I'm already too old for the men here... Getting a man here is very competitive, because there are so few of them." In a city where women outnumber men almost five to four, Julia's situation is typical of many. Following an abusive marriage she signed up with one of the many local agencies that offer the chance to be paired up with hopefuls from abroad. Paying upwards of three and a half thousand dollars, men from across the globe travel to Odessa in the hope of meeting beautiful young women. But despite accusations of being little more than a legalised pimping service, clients such as Arthur, a 65 year-old veteran of six romance tours, have no qualms with the service they offer. "It's like purchasing a very nice used Cadillac," he explains. "I need to drive it before I make a decision about taking it home and putting it in my garage." But for the women who don't get picked it's frequently a case of disappointment and heartbreak. "It feels like we're goods in a market," explains Julia. "No one there looks inside our hearts."

Influence Battle Between United States and Russia Over Ukraine


On February 2, 2010 the second round of presidential elections held in Ukraine. In the first round, Victor Yushchenko who has ever grabbed the reins of government through the Orange revolution just earned only 5% of the vote. In the second round he did not participate in the competition. Yanukovych won the first round of 35% and Tymoshenko 25%. Then they competed in the second round. Victor Yanukovych who was loyal to Russia and has served as prime minister and president in 2004 won the second round 48%, Tymoshenko won 46%. Thus Yanukovych was crowned as the new head of state. Does it mean the end of the Orange revolution era and Ukraine back into the Russia followers? How about the battle effect between Russian-Americans in the Ukraine in the future?

1. As already known, after the presidential election of 2004 there was a revolution that led to the fall Yanukovych Orange from the reins of government. Victor Yushchenko and Yulia Tymoshenko to form a coalition which was loyal to the West. That led to rising escalation of hostilities between Russia on one hand and the West, represented by the U.S. and Europe on the other. Both parties mutually commited acts against other. However, Yushchenko during his reign raised the escalation of hostilities between Russia and Ukraine in his efforts to be the NATO's member. Also through his statement relating to the transfer of the Russian Black Sea fleet from Crimea peninsula. Besides, he also built a solid relationship with the government of Saakashvili in Georgia and adopted a policy of continuous battle with Russia in all aspects, especially in the energy and security issues. Therefore, Yushchenko could not achieve widespread popular support, especially with his national project which overall  can be assessed as a battle program with Russia.

2. Ukraine which covers 603700 square kilometers with a population of 48 million people occupy a strategic position because it overlooks the Black Sea. Ukraine also becomes a network of pathways for energy, particularly the natural gas pipelines. Ukraine has a uniqueness as a link between Europe and Asia, it could affect the global and regional balance. Therefore Russia, U.S. and the EU are very concerned about Ukraine.

3. One thing that needs to be reviewed as well is about the strategic importance of Ukraine in Russia views. Russia sees Ukraine with great attention. That's because the majority of the eastern regions of Ukraine population adopts the Orthodox and speaking Russian. This is from one side. From the other side, because of the presence of the Russian Black Sea fleet base there -- according to the agreement- - will expire in 2017.

After the Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2004, relations with Russia experiencing turmoil. This was due to Ukraine's move to gain its membership in the EU, the Ukrainian attitude towards the Russian Black Sea fleet stationed in Sivastopol and because of the disputes about natural gas.

Russia therefore exerted its great effort to heat up the atmosphere against Yushchenko's administration, especially in the eastern regions of Ukraine and some other areas in Ukraine which were loyal to Russia. Russia succeeded in the last election by placing the loyal government to Russian to the reins of government in Ukraine. Russia was finally able to breathe freely.

When Yanukovych to power, he soon signed a treaty with Moscow in the energy field. He strengthened the economic cooperation between them. He also intentionally developed relationships in the fields of media, dissemination of information, education, language and culture. Yanukovych hinted at the possibility of doing a new agreement relating to the Russian Black Sea fleet in exchange for lowered price of natural gas. According to the news, Yanukovych declared, "Issues relating to the Russian Black Sea Fleet could dissolution with descriptions that provide benefits for Ukraine and Russia".

On the other hand, Ukraine has strategic geographical position and become the energy network's traffic, it connects the Europe with Asia. Therefore Ukraine has always been  a concern of Russia.

4. Meanwhile, the strategic importance of Ukraine in the U.S. view has a vital importance for the Americans who seek to outflank the regional of Russia's influence. Therefore, the loss of the U.S. influence over Ukraine in front of Russian influence means the stretched hand of Russia in the Black Sea and Eastern Europe. Therefore the U.S. mobilized its efforts in creating the Orange revolution that brought Yushchenko to power. So in that era, Ukraine became a major strategic partner for the U.S.. In the aid list provided by the U.S., it provided its economic assistance to Ukraine in the amount ranks third after Israel and Egypt. It was to cut off Ukraine 's dependence on Russia economically. But the U.S. --- during its economic crisis, especially the U.S. also fell into the abyss in Iraq and Afghanistan --- could not give enough attention and resources needed to Ukraine. This situation helped Russia and made it easier to affect the stability of Orange revolution.

5. Ukraine's strategic urgency in view of the EU could be considered as a wall of separation between Russia and Eastern Europe. Through the Ukraine territory, as many as 80% of Russian natural gas flowing to Europe which supplies a quarter of Europe's gas consumption. Therefore, Ukraine is very important for Europe. After Poland became the member of EU, and Romania and Bulgaria qualified for the EU membership, then Ukraine became neighboring countries of EU and has great urgency for  EU. Ukraine on one side becomes a bridge between Russia and Europe. On the other side Ukraine can also be considered as a buffer for both of them.

6. That is the urgency of Ukraine for all the countries. All countries are very attentive to the recent election in Ukraine. The problem is, Yanukovych success with only 3% margin. The results show clearly that the political atmosphere has not changed much from the previous. Although Victor Yushchenko who's loyal to the West and lost his job as president, and Yanukovych  who's loyal to Russia and served as president, but it's too hasty to say that the Orange revolution era has ended and that Ukraine will be re-circulated in Russia's orbit entirely. That's because Yanukovych won by a very small margin.

It means, loyalty to the West in Ukraine still has weight and influence. So, the battle between the U.S. and Russia over Ukraine will continue.

7. Yanukovych understood the problem. That's why, even though he's loyal to Russia, actuallyYanukovych  made ​​his first visit to Brussels and not to Moscow. He did it to attract and keep the European approach to the facts of his loyalty to Russia from the public view, especially his success in the election by a very small margin, also so that he did not face his future as he faced after the 2004 election , when the people took to the streets and dragged him down from the reign.

Therefore, a situation that can be expected is that Yanukovych will use ways to show a certain balance between Russia and the West. He will also cover his policies with unsurprising cover for America and EU, even though he actually will adopt a politic which is close to Russia.

Sergei Taran of the International Institute for Democracy in Kiev has hinted at it in a statement quoted by BBC Turkey on February 8, 2010. He said, "The outline for Yanukovych administration is clear. Yanukovych will try to improve its relations with Kremlin. He will keep the debate surrounding Ukrainian membership in NATO. He also will extend the term of Russian Black Sea Fleet agreement based in the Crimean peninsula that will end in 2017."

Undoubtedly, the West understands Yanukovych loyalty to Russia. The West also understands that the application of confrontational politics with Yanukovych will not be efficient. But the appropriate political is political implementation which outwardly showing the closeness, while the inside contains the ways in other colors to create an obstacle in front of Yanukovych. That's why the U.S. gave "congratulation" for the success of Yanukovych in the election, just as was done by the EU.

With all that, the influence battle of the West, particularly the United States and Russia to Ukraine will not stop, because of the urgency of the country for each party. They have the same weight and influence in Ukraine. Moreover, by a margin of votes in the election between the two party bases only 3%, it means that both parties have an effective pillar in Ukraine.

I do not care about all the the bald men, ... but this one .... hhh ...I open a photo editing program and try to attach the hair on his head, ... auuwww I disagree. I can feel my specific hormone dropped dramatically since seeing his hair.

What should be read from an appearance is a strong character, not the hairs on our heads, but what is in our heads.

Nothing can compare to the uniqueness of his face because of his bald head appearance.

By the way, what's it like to kiss all over her scalp, hm ....? Mmmm...especially when he's sweating ... ahh yesyesyes.

(What? Stop typing what's in your head about him, Cisca! Stop your stupid fantasy about him! Do not you know that the scent of your left armpit and your right armpit is different? Which of them is more smelly?

Right or Left, hm ...? ahahaha ...

Swan Story

"For the sake of bats and ass!," So I said, "I'm going deeper underground!" then I laughed, sounding worn without a clear rhythmic. Like a swan laughter, alone in the middle of the lake. I did not care about the birds in the trees screaming. They would be tired, and then flew to gray. "Yes. World is black. And will always be black with a sense that I play."



I paddled this boat to the middle of the lake so that I was more like a swan. The wind blew and the trees dancing, waving to me. Even then, I did not care. "Until now this nature is not react to anything, just stringing punishment for the sake of punishment."

I paddled this boat again, now more powerful. Strong winds created small waves on the lake. I did not care. "I'd rather drown!"

"For the sake of bats and ass!" I was not cussing. The two animals had long been a friend of mine. The Bat flapped quickly, a supersonic creature have any sharp, as sharp as I have: feelings and inner. s So easy I sad without any reason, even my tears melt without reason. I licked them at any time. I felt l dark and black. I did like the black and ass  I rode every night. Creatures that were considered stupid and slow  made me cozy. Every night I fell asleep on his back, until the morning came to restore me to the life of a swan.

That's it. Every day I was rowing the boat to the middle of the lake. The birds cheering me. Dusk brought a thin winged bat, in the shadows of sunset. The sky was orange coloring of their bodies. Enough I showed a smile, they would be around in the top of my head. I had been estranging. I liked the word "go". The world was no longer as beautiful as the first. I no longer trusted any advice of the world, because the world made my life always feeling. Between A and B was not clear to me. I was just using the sense of feeling to play in the fight against nature. I knew this nature did not trust me anymore, since the word love did not explain anything.

Since I loved him, he was gone. The man who understood the world, but against himself. From now on I would call him as Mr. Dissenter. A man who denied his own feelings and never believed in his heart. This world has formed him in one of nature: natural ratio, which thought love was just a myth created by man with frail texture and fresh color.

I was angry. I thought I loved him. I then loved him as I loved myself. "Sorry, but I can't love you," the man said to me with loving gaze. That's the end of our rendezvous. I was angry. "What a paradox! You deny love, but your eyes trickle the arrows of love, hurting my chess," I said with my eyes lit up.




I ran. It broke my heart. My feeling sharpened just like the bat eyes. I felt stupid, burning feeling as the exhausted donkey carrying the load. I was looking for a world I had never known : the Swan's World. Surely there my life just to swim from morning to afternoon, playing with a bat and a donkey at night.

I picked red and blue rocks at the lake's edge. The Bats would assemble them into a play space for them. They were faithfully assisting while the eating grass. I filled the game with just staring at rocks. The Bat dancing above me. Since then the birds called me the Swan. Trees calling me a graceful swan, who was in her swimming brought a melancholy face.

I did have a sad face and  flashed longing  eyes. I still overshadowed by the love of the man's eyes, and felt this nature had punished me. " I'm going deeper underground." I wanted to blend in the deepest soil. Dark world of unnecessary space. There might be I found all the different things, might also a different love. When I became a swan, I wanted to drown. When I became a bat, I wanted to play at dusk and I would not be back at dawn. When I was an ass, I wanted to be stupid and forgot all the feelings.

Ahh, I was so exhausted alone. This heart killed by question. "Being a swan, swim, and drowned..." (But no swan will sink unless it becomes a carcass, Cisca!)

 "Okay, then I wanted to be a carcass, so that I could drown." (But the alligators do not want to prey on swan like you, Cisca! You are the too mournful swan for prey. Too sad to be swallowed. They just look at you from afar, watching your movements. They will not hurt you, let alone to eat you, Cisca!)

I lost my zest for life. Previously I did not so. I was a woman of her lithe gestures and dancing every time I touched by the music. Every type of music I would move another. I made a wide range of motion so as not to get bored. When the music stopped, then my body stopped.

Previously, I was grinning, spread the laughter to everyone. Like a queen bee, I admired a lot of people because my feelings were open. I accepted anyone. For me, everyone was nice. Everyone was human  who needed a sense of comfort and happiness that was not easily forgotten. But, actually at that time I did not know love.

Until one day I met a man who was faithfully in his silence. In volatility, where everyone dancing and storytelling, laughing happily, he was faithful in his silence. He spoke with his eyes only. I also talked with my eyes. Then to the heart. Our hearts became a long rhythm, dancing in silence. The voices were not heard. I just looked at a pair of his eyes.

"I love you," said the man's eyes.

"So am I," I said.

We weren't hugging each other. We weren't close to each other, did not speak many words. Since then we both knew love, whoever told us. The man' eyes kept talking, though not in front of me. His eyes came into my dream. A dream that would soon be over and I woke up without anyone beside me. His eyes, Mr. Dissenter, he who did not believe his own feelings. The man who had the heart and strength to know the world, but did not want to admit his own feelings.


Yesterday I wanted to dance, but the music has died. The world was stalled. There's no reason for me to dance. Likewise with my feelings now. I chose to be a swan, who every morning to afternoon swimming in the lake. Every day I fantasized into a swan with a small boat and paddle. I had long been a spectacle of animals and trees lake. Every night they found my body frozen, staring at the stone.

Finally, came a time when I was really became the swan. I flapped my wings to the middle of the lake and landed on the water. Colorful fish struggling in the middle of the lake, running around it. I clenched my wings, my neck and my head down. I closed my eyes as if in prayer, and greeted the Lord. "Better I'm drowning." thus my prayer.

My body floated, swinging, breaking the softness of the blue-green waters of the lake. Suddenly the water surging  as driven from the edge of the lake. Its flow became greater, up to the middle. I did not care. Kept me in waves, closed my eyes and prayed, "I'd rather drown!"

The Crocodiles plunged themselves into the lake. They headed to the middle, to where I let my body alone.  Their eyes were different, they were like staring at the prey that had long been wanted. I knew it, but I still didn't care. I just wanted to pray.

Now, in the old laughter, I muttered. "It is time for me to sink." The Crocodiles easily closer to me from all sides. They gruntes. The lake water splashing from their noses.

I remained silent in peace, because I've become a graceful carcass before. I closed all the feelings, not only to him, but also to the world which made love not explain anything.
