Dolce Far Niente

🌿 Saat waktu tak lagi menuntut, saat angin hanya berbisik pelan. Saat aku duduk di antara cahaya dan bayanganku sendiri.  Tidak ada yang harus diselesaikan. Tidak ada yang perlu dimenangkan. Hanya waktu yang mengalir tenang--berjalan tanpa suara, Dan hanya pikiranku yang menari--mengalir perlahan di dalamnya. Di kedalaman keindahan Sape, Kutemukan laut yang bisa bersenandung, Kurasakan hutan pegunungan yang diam dalam kebijaksanaan.  Aku belajar kearifan masyarakat tepian sungai, menghayati kehalusan hati masyarakat pedalaman hutan. Aku hidup tanpa beban— menghirup manisnya udara--Bahagia tanpa melakukan apa-apa. Dolce far niente...Tiada melakukan apa-apa bukan berarti hampa— tapi adalah suatu keberadaan yang tak membutuhkan pembuktian.

Bersih. Membosankan.   Hanya saja, yen ora keliru , waktu ...

Kamarintah, Republiken, Kamardikan dan Sego Godog

Sekitar tahun 80-an hingga awal 90-an sebuah gerobak kecil mangkal di seberang jalan Rumah Sakit Tentara Dokter Asmir Salatiga. Setiap malam gerobak tua dengan anglo arang yang selalu menebarkan asap " kemeluk " tebal itu, selalu dipenuhi oleh orang-orang yang asyik ngobrol. Air bekas cucian gelas kotor kopi dan teh bolak-balik dibuang di selokan.  Orang-orang menambahkan gumpalan-gumpalan " keluk " rokok diantara asap arang kelapa dari anglo yang pernah putus. Sego godog. Tangan tua yang dipenuhi keriput, dengan cekatan menuangkan air, menambahkan nasi , menambahkan bumbu. Mengaduk-aduk. Diakhiri dengan " nyiduk " nasi berkuah yang kebul-kebul, menuangkannya ke dalam piring. Begitulah sang tangan tua keriput itu berulang kali menjalankan ritual yang sama. Dan selalu akan ada tangan lain yang berganti-ganti, mengambil dan menerima piring isi nasi berkebul-kebul dari tangan keriputnya. Kadang-kadang di saat rehat, saat semua pelanggannya sudah menerima piri...
