A Clear Morning Sky to Jakarta

After several days of continuous rain in Semarang, the morning of November 29, 2024, finally greeted us with clear skies. The air was cool as I headed to the airport for my 07:00 AM flight to Jakarta, a nice little break before diving into my busy schedule in the capital.

As the plane took off, I couldn't help but glance out the window. The sky was absolutely clear, with soft blue gradients meeting wisps of white clouds. Below, the ocean stretched out, calm and vast, reflecting the sky above like a giant mirror. Here and there, small islands popped up from the water, like green dots breaking up the endless sea of deep blue.

The morning light was warm, yet not blinding, and from above, I could spot little boats moving slowly across the water, as if they too were savoring the peaceful start to the day. After days of rain, this clear sky felt like the perfect way to begin a flight—simple, serene, and refreshing.

Do you have a symbol or word that helps you reconnect with what truly matters?

Sunset in Bogor

As you can see in the distance, Gunung Salak stands calm against the evening sky. The Cisadane River is shimmering quietly, winding through neighborhoods that has already begun to dim. Looking downward, train tracks run like a quiet underline to the day’s last sentence. Last bu not least, the sun is dipping lower. No rush. No drama.

Sejauh mana pemahaman Anda mengenai Teori Aktan atau seringkali disebut juga sebagai Teori Aktansial ataupun Teori Aktansial Model A.J. Greimas? Berdasarkan pemahaman saya yang didasarkan pada studi tentang Aktan, secara ringkas saya dapat menjelaskannya dalam uraian berikut ini: Teori Aktan yang dikembangkan oleh A.J. Greimas merupakan model pendekatan alur. Teori model A.J. Greimas digunakan untuk meneliti tindakan-tindakan tokoh yang dianggap sentral dalam cerita, berikut obsesi dan motivasinya, yang mewakili peristiwa-peristiwa utama di dalam alur cerita. Perlu diketahui bahwa teori ini ditemukan oleh A. J. Greimas sekitar tahun 1960-an, yang dinamakan teori struktural model aktan (Hebert, 2005: 63).
