Hive Open Mic Week 50! It's time to music celebration again Hivers. The theme given for this week is special. Before I go to tell more my opinion about this topic I'd like to say happy Hive 1stAnniversary to all Hivers all around the world. It's been a year since this platform launched for the first time. Time running fast, I really love to see this platform has expanded well by the time going. I was also impressed by the various type of community which easier for the small hiver like me who stranded for a long time at "the older blockchain" to find the community that I should belong to be. I dare to say if one of the best thing that has happened in my life was my migration into this platform. After stuck and doing nothing about a year in the previous blockchain, joining this platform is the right decision that I made up before.
Now, Let's talk about the theme for this moment. Be Reborn, such a deep topic to figure out. Frankly, I little bit confuse to made up my mind and choose the related song that suitable with the theme given. This philosophical topic then brought me to the situation of life. As a quote said, "Morning is wonderful blessing. Either stormy or sunny. It's given us another start of what we call life". There is always another chance to be much better than before in our life.Each of us has experienced difficult time in our journey of life. Like a rotation of wheel, up and down in life is common happened to all of human being. Though, we always got the new chance to be reborn in future. The question is What should we do after that?. Well, the song that I covered for this ocassion perhaps could give the answer about it then. The song from Indonesian Pop Ballad singer, Ebiet G Ade. The tittle of the song is Untuk Kita Renungkan or in English translation is To be contemplate.

The lyrics and its English translation is available...
Kita mesti telanjang dan benar-benar bersih
Suci lahir dan di dalam batin
Tengoklah ke dalam sebelum bicara
Singkirkan debu yang masih melekat, mmh
Singkirkan debu yang masih melekat
We must be naked and completely clean
Pure inside and out
Look inside before you speak
Get rid of the dust that is still attached, mmh
Get rid of the dust that is still attached
Anugerah dan bencana adalah kehendak-Nya
Kita mesti tabah menjalani
Hanya cambuk kecil agar kita sadar
Adalah Dia di atas segalanya, oh-oh
Adalah Dia di atas segalanya
Grace and disaster are His will
We must endure it
Just a little whip for us to wake up to
He is above all, oh-oh
He is above all
Anak menjerit-jerit, asap panas membakar
Lahar dan badai menyapu bersih
Ini bukan hukuman, hanya satu isyarat
Bahwa kita mesti banyak berbenah
The child screamed, the hot smoke burned
Lava and storms swept away
This is not a punishment, just a sign
That we have to fix many things
Memang bila kita kaji lebih jauh
Dalam kekalutan, masih banyak tangan
Yang tega berbuat nista
Indeed, if we examine further
In the frenzy, there were still many hands
The one who has the heart to insult
Tuhan pasti telah memperhitungkan
Amal dan dosa yang kita perbuat
Ke manakah lagi kita 'kan sembunyi
Hanya kepada-Nya kita kembali
Tak ada yang bakal bisa menjawab
Mari hanya runduk sujud pada-Nya
God must have figured it out
Charities and sins we commit
Where else are we hiding
Only to Him do we return
No one will be able to answer
Let's just bow down to Him
Kita mesti berjuang memerangi diri
Bercermin dan banyaklah bercermin
Tuhan ada di sini, di dalam jiwa ini
Berusahalah agar Dia tersenyum, oh
Berusahalah agar Dia tersenyum
We must fight against ourselves
Look in the mirror and look in the mirror a lot
God is right here, in this soul
Seek to make Him smile, oh
Try to make Him smile
That's all the description of the song's lyrics. As the conclusion, I do believe life is about people's spiritual journey to the Immortality. We need to do a lot of preparation in this temporary life. Then, I'd also like to underline what should we do after we got a new chance in life. For me, "Be Reborn" must be follow by deep contemplating and realized that All of us are belong to the almighty God. We have no chance to change our past, but we always have the chance to change our future. The future that fix waiting is life after we all got one way ticket to the Almighty God. So, be reborn, do good things and let's make preparation to face Him next.
