I was just stunned; Aunt Kathy had actually moved on to another dimension! It finally happened! That lady was damn near invincible! She had survived assaults, coronaries, fevers, famines, flus, floods, plagues, pandemics, strokes, andglobal warming for almost 100 years. I’m willing to bet she outlived the Ice Age, but there’s no way to confirm it. If anyone told the devil “You’re a Lie,” it was Aunt Kathy. She just had a way of coming back and back like a sequel to a never-ending horror story. Whenever she fell ill, she reappeared as a new being more hostile than the previous entity.

Nu toti barbatii vor iubi asa. Nu toti barbatii stiu sa alinieze cuvinte care sa devina versuri spre a vorbi despre femeia pe care o iubesc - dar le simti privirea si un fel anume de a se purta cu ea care-ti spune tot. Ii ador pe barbatii care vad la femeilor lor amanunte sublime, care observa mici si rafinate detalii pe care le iubesc ca pe intreg. In afara de sani, fund, picioare si buze, femeile norocoase au privilegiul, din partea barbatilor lor, de a fi admirate pentru felul in care-si trec mana prin par...pentru cat sunt de frumoase cand gatesc si fredoneaza balade rock...pentru pielea si aroma lor...sau pentru zambetul fierbinte cu care-i intampina mereu...pentru felul ciudat in care se ung cu creme si mirodenii de femeie...sau pentru glezna impecabila..pentru modul adorabil in care stau bosumflate superficial, asteptand sarutul de impacare...pentru linistea din glas...sau pentru tinuta lor cand merg pe strada...pentru felul in care converseaza cu prietenii si pentru bunatatea lor...pentru cat de sexy sunt cu samponul in ochi...pentru cat de fragile sunt cand plang...pentru cat de frumos isi iubesc barbatii si cum stiu sa aiba grija de ei...

Ne blocam de mici in niste idei fixe si ne aliniem altora si mai gresite ca ale noastre, ca, nu-i asa, cine mai are timp astazi de analize profunde, de cunoastere mai pe-ndelete?...Toti ne pricepem la pus etichete, toti stim sa “citim” oameni din prima si putini avem calitatea rara si pretioasa de a recunoaste ca ne-am inselat in privinta unui om, in bine sau in rau. Aparentele insala mai abitir ca barbatii nesiguri pe ei, dar nu stiu cum facem de nu le abandonam.

Attachment. A secure attachment is the ability to bond; to develop a secure and safe base; an unbreakable or perceivable inability to shatter to bond between primary parental caregiver(s) and child; a quest for familiarity; an unspoken language and knowledge that a caregiver will be a permanent fixture.

Acceptance is supposed to be a good thing - Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Also compromise, as every couples therapist will tell you. But the cost was high - the damping of expectation, the dwindling of spirit, the resignation that comes to replace enthusiasm, the cynicism that supplants hope. The mouldering that goes unnoticed and unchecked.

Oh Kay kau seperti kunci yang membuka pintu hatiku. Pesonamu meremukkanku. Seperti golok yang berdencing mengiris ngiris dagingku memotong tipis jantungku. Biar kau tetak leherku dengan rindu yang kau ciptakan tanpa iba dan belas kasihan. Kay oh Kay tak ada yang menyerupaimu di dunia ini. Sebab bagimu, aku adalah bocah nakal yang boleh menangis demi sebuah boneka mainan. Kemana kau berlagu, irama musik kan menyertaimu. Dan biarkan lantai dansa mendatangimu, memutar dan meninggikanmu dalam tarian yang membuat semua orang tergila-gila. Kay oh Kay kau gobang pedang parang celuritku. Kau belati yang menikam nikam, kau rajam aku dengan jarum manis lugu senyumanmu. Kau mulut manis yang mendesah yang mengerang yang tertawa yang membuat jiwaku resah gelisah. Kau Kay oh Kay. Ludahmu yang manis menetes bagai madu yang paling gula di benakku yang kehausan. Kuhasratkan engkau dari sarang yang paling mesum, jalan yang paling ingkar dan pikiran yang paling lancung. Kuingin kecap nektar bungamu yang paling nikmat. Oh betapa kau nodai aku dengan apimu. Kau jerat aku dengan kepolosanmu. Dengan ketelanjanganmu yang membuatku sesat. Betapa kau memberi asa yang tak kumiliki. Kau menangkan hati yang tak kuperjuangkan. Kay oh Kay engkau satu satunya jawaban yang tak pernah kupertanyakan. Tujuan yang tak pernah aku duga tapi menyambutku dengan riang gembira. Kaulah kenyataan yang tak pernah aku mimpikan namun terwujud dengan sendirinya. Bagaimana aku menerimamu sebagaimana engkau menerimaku dengan segenap pesona kegilaanmu. Kay oh Kay rembulan matahariku. Kaulah sungai sekaligus lautku. Hanya padamu mataku tertuju, hanya padamu hatiku tergetar. Kau biarkan aku menjadi kunci yang memasuki lobang jiwamu yang paling gelap. Bukan dalam keagunganmu anganku mengembara, melainkan dalam kemolekanmu yang memabukkan. Kau telah memenjara jiwaku yang paling celaka. Oh Kay kau pisau dapurku, kapakku, gergajiku, palu obengku. Kau perbudak aku dalam nafsu tak terlerai ini. Padamu aku menghamba bagai seorang pelayan yang bodoh. Kambing tuli dan buta yang cuma mengabdi pada satu tuan. Kaulah majikan dari semua hasrat dan kedegilan ini. Semua yang aku ketahui tentangmu adalah palsu. Bagaimana engkau berkenan mengijinkan aku mencintai orang lain selain dirimu? Kay oh Kay bila sungguh memujamu akan memberiku makna hakiki sebuah puisi, lalu bagaimana engkau bisa memberiku cinta sejati yang tak pernah engkau miliki?

Jangan beri aku apapun Meski itu perhatianmu Meski itu kasih sayangmu Meski itu air matamu Jangan beri aku kesedihanmu Jangan beri aku amarahmu Jangan beri aku dahagamu Jangan kau beri aku apapun Sebab masih kuorak langit demi menemukan seluruh jejak petilasanmu Bunda." Tapi Nak, bagaimana engkau bisa berucap serupa itu? Bukankah sudah aku beri engkau bunga? Sudah aku beri engkau matahari. Sudah aku beri engkau rumput dan dedaunan. Sudah aku beri engkau laut dan pasir pantai. Mengapa masih? Tak cukupkah kau cucup air susu dari sepiku? Kau kecap nyeri dari lukaku, sebagaimana dulu kau terakan kebahagiaan di bawah perutku serupa goresan pisau yang menyambut kehadiranmu. Betapa semuanya masih. Aku berikan lagi engkau api, aku berikan lagi engkau pagi, aku berikan lagi engkau nyanyi tualang dari hatiku yang engkau tahu menyimpan sejuta kekhawatiran. Bagaimana engkau masih berucap serupa itu? Aku masih berikan engkau suar hingga separuh umurku. Aku berikan engkau tawa dari separuh mautku. Aku berikan engkau kekal ingatan dan sekaligus mimpi abadi. Aku beri semuanya, walau itu cuma sekotak bekal sederhana yang semoga engkau terima untuk mengganjal rasa laparmu. Betapa aku selalu ingin ada untukmu, Nak. Sebab cuma satu permintaanku tak lebih. Ijinkan aku jadi teman seperjalananmu, sahabat di waktu gundahmu, pembawa kegembiraan di kala senggangmu. Sebagaimana dulu kutimang dirimu dan kunina bobokkan engkau di pangkuanku. Ijinkan aku jadi roti yang mengenyangkan laparmu, pelipur hati di kala sesakmu, panasea ketika kau sakit. Bukankah aku ada ketika kau belajar berdiri dan aku di sana saat kau jatuh? Aku setia menungguimu saat kau berlari mengejar bulan dan matahari. Dan sekalipun waktu merambatiku dengan galur usia, hingga mungkin aku tak lagi mampu berdiri tegap seperti dulu. Aku tak akan pernah menyerah padamu Nak. Tidak, Bunda tak akan pernah menyerah. Sebab bagiku, cukuplah dirimu sebatas dirimu saja. Akan tetapi, sanggupkah kau cukupkan dirimu dengan semua kebanggaan? Cukupkan dirimu dengan apa yang engkau punya. Cukupkan dirimu dengan semua doa doa yang tak henti kutitikkan dari sudut hatiku yang semoga jadi asa yang paling surga. Surgamu Nak. Walau kutahu itu akan mengusik nyenyak tidurmu. Walau itu akan menambah resah waktu kerjamu. Sebab kutahu seberapa keras engkau berjuang. Pada setiap tetes keringat yang engkau cucurkan mana kala engkau harus berlari mengejar bus yang datang menjemput. Manakala pikiranmu tak bisa lepas dari layar lap topmu yang tak henti berkedip. Manakala pagi datang dan sibuk pekerjaan hadir serupa hujan tak kunjung usai mendera. Cukupkan dirimu dengan cinta Bunda Nak. Sekalipun nanti, tak ada lagi ucapan nyinyir bergulir dari bibir Bunda yang mulai keriput ini. Yakinlah, pintu rumah hati Bunda akan selalu terbuka buatmu, kapan pun engkau ingin pulang.

For Dawkins, atheism is a necessary consequence of evolution. He has argued that the religious impulse is simply an evolutionary mistake, a ‘misfiring of something useful’, it is a kind if virus, parasitic on cognitive systems naturally selected because they had enabled a species to survive. Dawkins is an extreme exponent of the scientific naturalism, originally formulated by d’Holbach, that has now become a major worldview among intellectuals. More moderate versions of this “scientism” have been articulated by Carl Sagan, Steven Weinberg, and Daniel Dennett, who have all claimed that one has to choose between science and faith. For Dennett, theology has been rendered superfluous, because biology can provide a better explanation of why people are religious. But for Dawkins, like the other “new atheists” – Sam Harris, the young American philosopher and student of neuroscience, and Christopher Hitchens, critic and journalist – religion is the cause of the problems of our world; it is the source of absolute evil and “poisons everything.” They see themselves in the vanguard of a scientific/rational movement that will eventually expunge the idea of God from human consciousness. But other atheists and scientists are wary of this approach. The American zoologist Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002) followed Monod in his discussion of the implications of evolution. Everything in the natural world could indeed be explained by natural selection, but Gould insisted that science was not competent to decide whether God did or did not exist, because it could only work with natural explanations. Gould had no religious axe to grind; he described himself as an atheistically inclined agnostic, but pointed out that Darwin himself had denied he was an atheist and that other eminent Darwinians - Asa Gray, Charles D. Walcott, G. G. Simpson, and Theodosius Dobzhansky - had been either practicing Christians or agnostics. Atheism did not, therefore, seem to be a necessary consequence of accepting evolutionary theory, and Darwinians who held forth dogmatically on the subject were stepping beyond the limitations that were proper to science.

I will love you with no regard to the actions of our enemies or the jealousies of actors. I will love you with no regard to the outrage of certain parents or the boredom of certain friends. I will love you no matter what is served in the world’s cafeterias or what game is played at each and every recess. I will love you no matter how many fire drills we are all forced to endure, and no matter what is drawn upon the blackboard in a blurring, boring chalk. I will love you no matter how many mistakes I make when trying to reduce fractions, and no matter how difficult it is to memorize the periodic table. I will love you no matter what your locker combination was, or how you decided to spend your time during study hall. I will love you no matter how your soccer team performed in the tournament or how many stains I received on my cheerleading uniform. I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday. I will love you if you cut your hair and I will love you if you cut the hair of others. I will love you if you abandon your baticeering, and I will love you if you retire from the theater to take up some other, less dangerous occupation. I will love you if you drop your raincoat on the floor instead of hanging it up and I will love you if you betray your father. I will love you even if you announce that the poetry of Edgar Guest is the best in the world and even if you announce that the work of Zilpha Keatley Snyder is unbearably tedious. I will love you if you abandon the theremin and take up the harmonica and I will love you if you donate your marmosets to the zoo and your tree frogs to M. I will love you as the starfish loves a coral reef and as kudzu loves trees, even if the oceans turn to sawdust and the trees fall in the forest without anyone around to hear them. I will love you as the pesto loves the fetuccini and as the horseradish loves the miyagi, as the tempura loves the ikura and the pepperoni loves the pizza. I will love you as the manatee loves the head of lettuce and as the dark spot loves the leopard, as the leech loves the ankle of a wader and as a corpse loves the beak of the vulture. I will love you as the doctor loves his sickest patient and a lake loves its thirstiest swimmer. I will love you as the beard loves the chin, and the crumbs love the beard, and the damp napkin loves the crumbs, and the precious document loves the dampness in the napkin, and the squinting eye of the reader loves the smudged print of the document, and the tears of sadness love the squinting eye as it misreads what is written. I will love you as the iceberg loves the ship, and the passengers love the lifeboat, and the lifeboat loves the teeth of the sperm whale, and the sperm whale loves the flavor of naval uniforms. I will love you as a child loves to overhear the conversations of its parents, and the parents love the sound of their own arguing voices, and as the pen loves to write down the words these voices utter in a notebook for safekeeping. I will love you as a shingle loves falling off a house on a windy day and striking a grumpy person across the chin, and as an oven loves malfunctioning in the middle of roasting a turkey. I will love you as an airplane loves to fall from a clear blue sky and as an escalator loves to entangle expensive scarves in its mechanisms. I will love you as a wet paper towel loves to be crumpled into a ball and thrown at a bathroom ceiling and an eraser loves to leave dust in the hairdos of the people who talk too much. I will love you as a taxi loves the muddy splash of a puddle and as a library loves the patient tick of a clock. I will love you as a thief loves a gallery and as a crow loves a murder, as a cloud loves bats and as a range loves braes. I will love you as misfortune loves orphans, as fire loves innocence and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong.
