"Penerimaan"

Seumpama nasib ialah 'buta', mungkin cinta merupa atma, menggantung pada tabir bentala yang tumbuh beriringan mengikuti arah langkah tuannya.

Berdesak-desakan penerimaan, menggerogoti keraguan, menopang keyakinan, meski tertatih ... menadah takdir dengan cinta. Biar rela itu datang, menjelma bait-bait dalam aksara 'h i d u p k u'.

-Rahl, 4225

La clave es adaptar mi propósito en armonía con el cambio

[adventuresofalgy]

No one, not even a fluffy bird, could say truthfully that today was a lovely day in the wild west Highlands of Scotland. Even at noon it was dark, because dense Scotch mist was blocking out most of the light; the wind was blowing, the rain was raining, and – especially if one was already wet as a result of these phenomena – it felt unpleasaantly cold, although in reality the temperature was nothing like as low as it was around the homes of many of Algy's friends in the northern hemisphere. But it's one thing to be cold and dry, especially in calm weather, and quite another to be cold and wet in a constantly buffeting wind…

However, as Algy perched damply in a hypericum bush, rocking resolutely to and fro in the wind and the rain, he suddenly noticed with glee that there were brand new bright green leaves coming out all around him, on stems which only a week or so ago had been almost completely bare. Despite the unpleasant conditions, he was truly delighted to see them, but as he grew damper and damper and colder and colder, he couldn't help reflecting that it was a pity that the weather in this part of the world so rarely permitted comfortable appreciation of the joys of the early spring, for:

In spring a bluster busting up against a wall will lift last year’s leaves higher than trees did.

[Algy is thinking of the short poem Resurrections by the 20th century American poet A. R. Ammons.]

Alice Te Punga Somerville, Always Italicise: How to Write While Colonised - Kupu rere kē

[ID: A poem titled: Kupu rere kē. [in italics] My friend was advised to italicise all the foreign words in her poems. This advice came from a well-meaning woman with NZ poetry on her business card and an English accent in her mouth. I have been thinking about this advice. The convention of italicising words from other languages clarifies that some words are imported: it ensures readers can tell the difference between a foreign language and the language of home. I have been thinking about this advice. Marking the foreign words is also a kindness: every potential reader is reassured that although you're expected to understand the rest of the text, it's fine to consult a dictionary or native speaker for help with the italics. I have been thinking about this advice. Because I am a contrary person, at first I was outraged — but after a while I could see she had a point: when the foreign words are camouflaged in plain type you can forget how they came to be there, out of place, in the first place. I have been thinking about this advice and I have decided to follow it. Now all of my readers will be able to remember which words truly belong in -[end italics]- Aotearoa -[italics]- and which do not.

And that I have a beautiful life,
