After a long pause due to busy working on short video making about rabies , I was very inspired to expose the spirit of unity in diversity . This has been a real spirit shown by a group of ants that inhabited the mango tree in our yard .
Observing the beauty of the ants that look the same, though were different from each other , I was staggering. I was so amazed like watching a football team competing in the World Cup .
Interestingly , I did not see any fighting between the red ants in the food hauling toward the destiny . They communicated well each other . I even saw a single ant carrying a food alone , without any problem and it did not matter . It was ok. There was also two or three carrying their food. That was ok, too.
How wonderful it is when in solving a problem or accomplish a task , we can cooperate with each other without any demands or coercion . The most important , of course, is responsibility . None stayed still, all moved and took initiative to do the job . If one stoped for a moment , it was to communicate or coordinate . Truly, God created ants that gave us examples of good team work .
Proverbs 6 : 6-8
Lazy people should learn a lesson from the way ants live. They have no leader, chief, or ruler, but they store up their food during the summer, getting ready for winter.

SEMANGAT KEBERAGAMAN
Setelah cukup lama jeda karena kesibukan mengerjakan karya video pendek mengenai rabies, saya sangat terinspirasi untuk mengangkat semangat keberagaman dalam kebersamaan. Semangat ini telah nyata ditunjukkan oleh sekelompok semut pohon yang menghuni pohon mangga di pekarangan rumah kami.
Mengamati keindahan para semut yang nampak sama, padahal berbeda satu sama lain, sungguh mencengangkan. Saya jadi terkagum seperti menyaksikan suatu tim sepak bola yang berlaga di piala dunia.
Uniknya, saya tidak melihat adanya rebutan antar semut merah di dalam menggotong makanan menuju tujuan. Mereka saling berkomunikasi dengan baik. Bahkan saya melihat ada satu semut yang menggotong sendirian beban makanan kecil sesuai porsinya dan itu tidak masalah. Ok ok saja. Ada pula yang menggotong berdua atau bertiga. Itu pun ok ok pula.
Alangkah indahnya apabila di dalam menyelesaikan suatu persoalan atau tugas, kita dapat saling bekerjasama tanpa harus ada tuntutan atau paksaan. Yang terpenting, tentu tanggungjawab. Tak ada yang berdiam diri, semua bergerak dan berinisiatif mengerjakan tugasnya. Kalau toh berhenti sesaat, itu pun untuk berkomunikasi atau berkoordinasi. Sungguh Tuhan menciptakan semut yang memberi contoh team work yang baik.
Amsal 6 : 6 - 8
Hai pemalas, pergilah kepada semut, perhatikanlah lakunya dan jadilah bijak: biarpun tidak ada pemimpinnya, pengaturnya atau penguasanya, ia menyediakan rotinya di musim panas, dan mengumpulkan makanannya pada waktu panen.

SPIRIT OF HOPE
Saturday afternoon , June 12th, 2010 , I was in the crowd watching the opening ceremony of Bali Art Festival 2010. This was a cultural event that not only attended by artists from all regions of Bali , but also attended by several delegations from other islands in Indonesia and some representatives from other countries .
As a Balinese , I admired this event. When the camera aimed at the attraction of Baris dancers , knights Bali, I could feel the powerfull spirit behind it . Agility , loyalty and triumph are three values that wrapped inside of the life's challenges .
However , there is one thing that can not be forgotten. It is a hope , even when only a small chance remains. A hope often makes people stay in an uncomfortable situation for a certain time while waiting for an answer. Then, faith , as the spiritual motivation , stays behind the expectation. Without faith, a hope was empty . In fact , good faith and good hope will be very meaningful in a work of love.
Values above, are universal and basically became a part of family traditions in achieving peace . This certainly has been widely shown by our parents and ancestors in achieving their goals.
This spirit should make us more excited again within reaching the ideals, which actually had been done already by our predecessors. So that, we just need to give thanks and pass them even better as we could.
Psalm 126 : 5
Let those who wept as they planted their crops, gather the harvest with joy!
