Process

It takes a crane to build a crane/ It takes two floors to make a story/ It takes an egg to make a hen/ It takes a hen to make an egg/ There is no end to what I’m saying

It takes a thought to make a word/ And it takes some words to make an action/ It takes some work to make it work/ It takes some good to make it hurt/ It takes some bad for satisfaction

La la la la la la la life is wonderful/ Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle/ Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful/ Al la la la la

It takes a night to make it dawn/ And it takes a day to make you yawn brother/ And it takes some old to make you young/ It takes some cold to know the sun/ It takes the one to have the other

And it takes no time to fall in love/ But it takes you years to know what love is/ It takes some fears to make you trust/ It takes those tears to make it rust/ It takes the dust to have it polished

Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful/ Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle/ Ah la la la la la la life is so full of/ Ah la la la la la la life is so rough/ Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful/ Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle/ Ah la la la la la la life is our love/ Ah la la la la la

It takes some silence to make sound/ It takes a loss before you found it/ And it takes a road to go nowhere/ It takes a toll to make you care/ It takes a hole to make a mountain

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful/ Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle/ Ha la la la la la life is wonderful/ Ha la la la la la life is meaningful/ Ha la la la la la life is wonderful/ Ha la la la la la life it is…so… wonderful/ It is so meaningful/ It is so wonderful/ It is meaningful/ It is wonderful/ It is meaningful/ It goes full circle/ Wonderful/ Meaningful/ Full circle/ Wonderful

~Life Is Wonderful, Jason Mraz, from the Album Mr.A-Z

I have this simple question, my dear friend, do you believe that life is a matter of a process? Or do you believe that everything was instantly happened?  Earth was there at a snap, without any evolution process from hydrogen and other molecules. A kid can instantly walk, without learning to crawl on the floor. A bird can instantly fly, without learning how to move it’s wings. They learn, a one long process, sometimes. A short process, the other times.

You might don’t want the process, maybe you want it as easy as snapping your finger. Maybe. Do you know the easiest way to go through it? You’ve got to love the process, and the object at the same time. Got to love it. Remember a phrase from Jogja, “No love, No honey”. If you were a bee, your duty is to absorb the sweet extract from a flower, could you do it if you don’t even love the flower? could you do it if you don’t even like the flower?  Sure, you couldn’t do it.

My dear friend, you’ve got to love the flower, then you’ll get the honey. Remember, my dear friend, No love, No honey.
