Leaf is my identity, looks fragile, simple, but necessary, and it's green as it's alive, only lonely, as it's alone in the jungle of life.
Yes, the existence of leaf is not limited merely by space and time, but simply comes and goes following the cycle of life.

That's how the stories here are narrated, as it was witnessed by the lonely green leaf.

Just remember, life is not really alive when you cannot use and express your own imagination freely.
But if that's happen, just read the leaf imagination narrated here, and dream of it.

One Thousand and One Nights

السلام عليكم
As-salam alaykum (Peace be upon you)

I just back in Maryland and still so impressed with my transit in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) during my round-trip flight from DC-Jakarta-DC. And what I've seen in Dubai reminded me of my childhood Arabic/Persian folk tales entitled ‘One Thousand and One Nights’.

Recall the story of caliph (Khalifah) Harun al-Rashid and his famed poet Abu Nawas; or Ali Baba and the forty thieves, Sinbad the sailor and his great adventures, or Aladdin and the magic lamp? Cool huh?! and look at this wonderful magic lamp!

Color of life


True, life is colorful! You can be comfortable and satisfied but troubled in the same time, like me. I  comfortably sit next to the pond with colorful local fishes swimming around; satisfied and pleased, accompanied by afternoon breeze, so enjoyable (Yep, life is good), but in fact, I am sick!
