.

Ramadhan is soothing. Even before it arrived, the fires that had been burning Indonesia recently – thanks to hotheadedness and vicious hearts – seemed to have dissipated, leaving behind small broken pieces that adorn the environment like the starry sky at night.

For Indonesian Muslims, the holiness of Ramadhan is a collective sacredness that has been well maintained in the nation for hundreds of years, and is resilient against the disruptions and temptations of the modern-global lifestyle. We receive a reflective moment to regenerate, reread and recheck ourselves after being involved in so much of the furor and chaos caused by the intermingling of political and religious interests. The face and the heart of religion (Islam) in the nation reveals itself as an entity that can silence the nearly uncontrollable anger, desire and libido of our thoughts, minds and bodies that have consumed us recently.
