According to Wikipedia, Ratu Joyoboyo, also Sri Mapanji Jayabaya or Jayabhaya, was King also known as Ratu of the Indianized kingdom Hindu Kediri in East Java from AD1135 to 1157. Ratu Jayabaya was known for his just and prosperous rule.

Ratu Jayabaya is most famous for his oracles or prophesies attributed to him. The prophecies is called Jangka Jayabaya. Some of his prophecies were written in book of poem or serat. Whereas, another prophecies were thaught through oral traditions.

Young Mice Manage Line is short modern fable story based on 7th divination of Jayabaya's 12th century Javanese Prophecy : "Tikus Pithi Anata Baris" which happens today. "Tikus pithi anoto baris" means line up rows of red rat or "young mice manage lines." They are not mice. They are mouse-like tools for computer. By clicking mice, people make online movement, leak the conspiracy, unite, vote, protest, distribute information online.

However, we have freewill to spread goodness nad peace thru the technology.

Fabel Cita Rasa Keberagaman

Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, Tan Hana Dharma Mangwra
Berbeda beragam tapi satu jua, Tak Ada Dharma ke arah yang lain

Itu adalah petikan baris kitab Pususadhasanta atau Sutasoma, yang di tulis oleh Mpu Tantular.

Di jaman sekarang masih saja ada orang yang alergi keberagaman dan perbedaan, mereka terlalu ngarep ama yang namanya keseragaman.

Jangankan golongan, suku, atau agama yang berbeda, dua orang dalam kepercayaan yang sama pun bisa memiliki pikiran beragam. Nah loh, kasian kan kalo memperpanjang ego kita dengan mencari-cari pengakuan dari orang lain tentang apa yang kita yakini dan jalani. Kita ingin segala sesuatu yang berhubungan dengan kita dianggap lebih.. ini.. lebih itu.. tetapi kita sendiri tidak mau menghargai orang lain.. bukan menghargai deh, minimal membiarkan.

Mau tak mau, keberagaman memang ada, sudah ada, dan akan selalu ada, jadi jika kita alergi dengan keberagaman mungkin kita terjangkit bhinnekaphobia dan perlu minta surat dokter.

Oh ya teman, silahkan baca kisah tentang keberagaman: Kisah Gado-Gado

Rice, Paddy, and Short Story about It


Rice comes from paddy. Rice is the core/ basic food for Nusantarians, especially people of Indonesia. The Capital City of Indonesia is Jakarta, located in Java Island. Java or Jawa (Jawawut) means paddy. So Java Island is the island of paddy. That's why eating rice is obligatory in Java.

I have written a flash fiction ( mini fable short story) about planting process of paddy. I use this fable to show the importance of individual freedom to grow, respect, independence, and interdependence in team.
