Sang Anak bertanya pd ayahnya
“ mengapa ibu lebih kuat dari ayah ?
Jawab sang ayah
karena ibu mu seorang wanita
“Ayah,
apakah aku lebih kuat dari ayah ?
Ya, kaulah yang terkuat,
Karena engkau adalah buah dari cintanya”
Kahlil Gibran

…setiap orang adalah sama di hadapan Tuhan dan sesamanya. Adalah tidak benar orang menjadi berbeda-beda dan bertingkat-tingkat hanya karena kadar kekuasaan duniawi dan rohani…
(Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Arok Dedes, hal 1)
jika kami bunga
engkau adalah tembok itu
telah kami sebar biji-biji
suatu saat kami akan tumbuh bersama
dengan keyakinan : engkau akan hancur

Sedang apakah Tuhan ketika menciptakanmu? kau pasti juga selalu ke salon para bidadari untuk merawat rambutmu yang masih membuatku penasaran adalah .. Tuhan, ciptaanmu yang satu ini kelewat indah..
Pastilah hatinya sedang senang…
Atau kalau bukan karena itu..
Kau pasti di ajak para bidadari untuk mandi air khayangan
hingga kulitmu menjadi begitu lembut dan berkilau kilau karenanya..
yang sukar di percaya itu..
iya kan ?
benar tidak?
ngaku sajalah…
terbuat dari apakah bola matamu yang berbinar itu?
dan senyummu….
Bagaimana mungkin ada senyum seindah itu….

ACEH PROVINCE, INDONESIA - December 6, 2005 March 2005: Children sit in a makeshift village school on Aceh’s battered western coast. A 12-year-old boy stands up and sings his “tsunami song.” In a soft and gentle voice he sings about the wave that swept away his village, separated mothers from children and “left nothing behind.” It’s very sad at first. But he ends with the thought that everyone who died is in a peaceful place, and it’s time for all who are suffering to help each other.
That young boy was Nasir, and his song is still helping him and his friends express how they felt during the tsunami. “I never get tired of hearing it,” says Nasir today. “My friends like to sing it and they are proud of me. They know that I helped to write it with my uncle.”

Nasir and his family currently live in the Padang Rumbek temporary living center, near Meulaboh. The houses in their village are still being rebuilt, so they stay here where they have access to a well for clean water and good sanitation facilities.
Nasir says living at the center is “different to home, and not as nice because there aren’t so many people.” But one thing he does enjoy about it is the child friendly space organized and supported by the International Rescue Committee (IRC).
The space is somewhere that children can play and learn with their friends in a safe environment, either before or after school. Children can simply be children — a luxury for many youngsters who have witnessed the devastations caused by last December’s tsunami and the 30-year long conflict in Aceh.
Nasir describes the space as “extra school”. He says: “I really like coming here with all the other children. There are plenty of activities for us to do, like math and drawing.”
“If I remember the tsunami, I still feel sad,” he admits. “But it doesn’t disturb me any more. I can cope. My wish now is that my family can live in peace, in good conditions, and with a regular source of money.”
Nasir’s elder brother Chaidir is one of the community members who help to run the space, thanks to training and support from the IRC. He’s noticed great progress in children like Nasir. “At first, even a slight rain shower would panic them,” he explains. “They would run home to be with their family. Now look at them — there’s a big storm going on outside and they’re playing happily. They haven’t even noticed it’s raining.”
Nasir clearly wants to follow in his brother’s footsteps. He says his ambition is to become a teacher when he grows up, so he can help children learn. “I will remember what I have learned here at my extra school,” says Nasir, “and I can pass it on to others.”
