Days of Ceremonies

About four days ago, I went to Negara (capital town of Jembrana’s Regency) to attend my Family’s Temple anniversary for the year 2007. I was also considered my self to be lucky enough not to get caught in the rain because I was riding my red motorbike, it seems that the rain stop for letting Balinese do their ceremonial.

My family’s temple is located near the mountain at the Nusa Mare Village in Yeh Embang district, road to this village is good, asphalted, small car and motor bike is going smoothly on it. The view to the real tropical forest is so amazing and close to the village. This village is also close to the beach, and the popular temple of Rambut Siwi. The ceremony was going well, but it was a hot day with only bit of cloud. First round is the Mecaru then everybody pray under the lead of the priest. I also notice that that day, (Anggarkasih Dukut - balinese calendar day) was also found some temple anniversary. And two days after ( 4 April ) is a good day for Ngaben Ceremony, I several time have to stop by the police who also guarding the Ngaben along the road of Gilimanuk - Denpasar. And today 5th April, I meet Ngaben too on my way to office.

For my brother c-toz in Hawaii, hope that you were also pray on that day. distance is not a matter right?
