Joy and Peace

Rizal Affif — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 23:00:59 +0000

So you really want joy, and peace?
Then choose to be,
just be.

There is no reason not to be,
except the ones you justify yourself.
So stop making excuses;
and be.

There,
you have it.

Shit Happens

Just like everything else;
does it matter?

Remain centered,
and flow along,
Now.

The Ultimate

Rizal Affif — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 00:18:20 +0000

Breath in, embrace.

Breath out, let go.

One
after
another.

That is all
there is.

I Am

Rizal Affif — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 23:14:21 +0000

I am not my country, not my family,
not my job, not my hobby, not my identity.

I am not my head, my torso, my legs, my arms,
not my body.

I am not my ideas;
not my thoughts, not my feelings, not my emotions.

I am the ultimate background upon which all of those,
are painted and erased.

I am what I am;

I am.

The Nature of The Mind

Rizal Affif — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 21:41:30 +0000

The mind is like the water upon a pool.
It is no good trying to control it,
to make it calm.
Just let it settle on itself.
It will come to a full stop, and only then;
becomes crystal clear,
The Truth within.

Like Infinite Sky

Rizal Affif — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 23:19:53 +0000

Be like the sky,
neither resists nor indulges the clouds;
accepts even the brightest of days,
even the darkest of the storm,
and lets them pass.
So vast, so open,
Infinite.

Chaos. Uncertainty.

Rizal Affif — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 22:43:46 +0000

Lately I haven’t been able to keep posting once every two days.

My job as a freelance HR consultant is dynamic, both in load and in schedule. And just lately, the load is increasing; and it will keep rising.

It is like a slap; that wakes me up to reality that life is, basically, uncertain. The flow of life is always full of surprise.

And so shall this blog be.

From now on, I will stop posting in fixed pattern of timing. New post will be published anytime, as dynamic and as uncertain as life can be.

I enjoy riding the chaotic wave, the dynamics of uncertainty; every moment is fresh and colorful. I hope you can enjoy it too.

Including this blog

Regards,

Rizal

Mindfulness

Rizal Affif — Tue, 18 May 2010 23:00:24 +0000

Sitting,
I heard the water singing,
running down the hill;
and the leaves whispering,
rustling, blown by the gentle wind.

I stood up and walked back home;
Feeling every single muscle,
contracted under the might of
The One.

The Naked Self

Rizal Affif — Thu, 06 May 2010 23:25:26 +0000

Stripped off all relationships,
all belongings, all actions,
the body, the memories, the thoughts,
the feelings, and the mind;

What remains of you?

Blue Sky

Rizal Affif — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 23:45:10 +0000

Staring at the endless blue sky,
I am reminded of what I am;

Infinity.
