in this land|

it is not an adventure|

its not a heroic story of wanderers|

its not about adrenaline challenge|

with those tensions|

none of them||

but in this land|

new dailies became your new rituals|

new wisdom made you realize what you lack of|

you appreciated the heritage of nature & ancestors as yours|

you found the new family as those who will always you miss|

to visit||

yes, there's one thing you can not find here|

differences|
here, no slightest difference allowed to separate|

no mass productions and superb technologies|

which slowly drown the human side|

of human||

Look, there is no mosque|
Look, there is no church|

Look, there is no temple|
Look, there is no monastery|

Look, there is no mosque, church, temple and monastery|

which separate me from you from Him from them||

here, there's no school grade that becomes your god|

no soaring career that becomes your heaven|

here, it is okay if you don't agree||

Is it really not an adventure?||

for us|

this land|

whispered us to always be tough|

facing every single uncertain things|

and leave our heart for every moments shared||
