v MOTTO
Selama Api dalam diri belum Mati, Siap untuk melanjutkan pertarungan dan perjuangan ini! (Anonim)
Mari kita kembali keawal kisah seperti semula: sampai dimana sudah kita
berjalan?
Jika kita hanya mencapai kejahilan, maka kita akan terkurung di dalam
penjaraNya: jika kita mencapai gerbang pengetahuan, kita akan memasuki
istana-Nya
Dan jika kita tertidur, kita di mabukolehNya; jika terbangun,kita di cengkram
olehtanganNya
Jika meratap, kita adalah awan pembawa kemurahan yang beraasadariNya; dan
jika kita tertawa, ketika itulah kita menjadi kilatan cahayaNya
Dan jika kita gusar serta melawan, itulah syarat dari kemahakuasaanNya; dan
jika merasa tenteram dan damai itulaah syarat dari kasih sayangNya
Siapakan kita di dunia yang membingungkan ini, sedangkanDia tegak bagaikan
sang Alif?
Kita ini bukanapa-apa, bukan... bukan apa-apa.
(PadakancahBaratayuda Padakancah perang besarmu hariini Bisma, jiwa besar pada sekeping kaca Setiap saat Engkau berkaca.. GUGUR)
Kang pungkasan pitungkase kangmasmu Kandaku kang pegat-pegat tan biso runtut
Kanthi muncrate getih pating deleweran Dadaku kang kejetkejet tan bisomuwus )
