The Indonesian text here is an edited version of a quote from a Rumi inspired passage in the book “Mamonisme” by Maman A Majid Binfas of Jakarta. It means “Give a home to their bodies but not to their souls. Their souls reside in the future.”
My English lines are inspired by an American equivalent of Rumi, country singer Paul Siebel.
Lest we forget: children can unite us.
Without them our world dies.

The family is the foundation of social life.
Few thinkers and activists in world history have achieved more than Raden Adjeng Kartini of Central Java achieved through the support of her family.
Praise the Lord.
