Recently, I love the melody of the afternoon, the ashes and the dusts just flew 
by around the people and the city. Maybe they never wish to do anything harmful,
but they have no choice to become harmless either. And yes, today is my [_otonan_](http://catatan.legawa.com/2009/09/otonan/),
and Mom already gave me a call (and still asked me to come back home to Bali).

Well, I don’t want to considering today as a over sacred day. But I don’t think 
I can get my _otonan_ in easy way. The volcano still active and people still evacuated
to safer places around the Southern Yogyakarta.  I think even I get to the temple,
nothing much would change over there – well – here & there would be the same place
for the almighty.

I remembered that Stella Terrill Mann ever said, “_Whatever God’s dream about man
may be, it seems certain it cannot come true unless man cooperates_.” I don’t believe
if God really exist, the God prefer us to be in deep trouble. But that doesn’t me
that we – human – can do whatever as we please. Lets try to overcome this disaster
together.

And I think that what would be the best for my _otonan_ today. Just giving all I
can under the romantic volcanic ashes, flew within my life & dreams.
