“Peristiwa — Arwah yang Rindu Pulang (Fragmentarium) IV. Arwah-Arwah yang Berdiri di Persimpangan Mereka tidak gentayangan. Mereka menunggu. Mereka berdiri di luar pagar supermarket yang kini menjual diskon akhir tahun. Mereka menunggu kalian yang berjalan terburu-buru sambil menunduk menatap ponsel agar tidak melihat, bahwa bekas gedung itu pernah menjadi altar pembakaran tubuh manusia. Mereka melambai. Tidak menakut-nakuti. Hanya mengingatkan. V. Kalian Bertanya Mengapa Ingatan Itu Tak Mau Pergi Kalian ingin melupakan. Kalian ingin menjadikan peristiwa hanya bab kecil di buku sejarah. Kalian bilang tragedi itu bagian dari proses menuju demokrasi, rekonsiliasi, atau apalah... Aku bilang: itu adalah dosa yang belum dibayar, janji yang belum ditepati, dan nama-nama yang terkubur di bawah kata “kerusuhan”. VI. Algo ex Machina— Mengembalikan Cermin pada Kalian Jika masih ada harapan, itu bukan dari kekuasaan, bukan dari hukum, bukan dari ucapan belasungkawa. Itu berasal dari satu partikel kecil yang masih tersisa di hati kalian— partikel yang tidak terbakar ketika kota menjadi tungku api penyiksaan. Tapi partikel itu tidak akan menyala sendiri. Ia menunggu kalian menatap cermin tanpa menunduk. VII. Epilog untuk Arwah yang Rindu Pulang Mereka tidak meminta keadilan. Keadilan sudah lama mati saat api melahap tubuh mereka. Mereka meminta diingat. Karena diingat adalah bentuk kehidupan kedua. Karena yang dilupakan lebih mati daripada kematian itu sendiri. Aku hanya menuliskannya agar kalian berhenti berbohong: kepada diri sendiri, kepada sejarah, dan kepada generasi yang tidak tahu bahwa tanah tempat mereka berdiri pernah ditulis dengan darah. Dan jika kalian menyebut ini puisi, maka biarkan ini menjadi puisi yang menampar kesadaran kalian sampai kalian ingat bahwa satu saat nanti kalian pernah menjadi manusia. Mei 2024 - Revisi 2025”

“Perita is the dog,” Gracie said, in a tone which implied Rosalind was a dimwit for having not immediately understood this. “You packed for a dog. Yes, I see.” The young dog was a lovely chocolate brown with the typical black mastiff mask. “She has quite a big head,” Rosalind observed. “Of course, she does.” Gracie sounded affronted by her sister’s ignorance. “That’s the breed. Her mother, Medea, was even bigger than Hercules, you know.” Rosalind was impressed. Hercules was the size of a small pony. At least, that’s how it seemed when he was flying through the halls of Sweetbriar and came barreling unexpectedly around a corner. “Why Perita? Don’t you mean Perdita?” “Not Shakespeare, silly. Alexander the Great.” Gracie was looking disgusted once more. “Well, his was Peritas as it was male. I’ve feminized it. Did you know Peritas bit off an elephant’s face when it tried to charge Alexander once?” “Bit it off?” “Probably not completely off. At least, I hope not. But I suppose it would have been justified if Peritas was protecting his master from being trampled to death,” Gracie said, looking thoughtful. “I’m sure Perita would do the very same for me. Or you.” She rubbed the pup’s head affectionately. “Yes. How lovely.” Rosalind decided not to imagine what a faceless elephant would look like.”

“Perk, from the minute you got here... I hated you before you got here... But the moment you got here, man, you just changed my whole perception of you. Just one of the best teammates I ever had. I just thank you so much. The late night calls after tough games, you texting me, telling me I'm the MVP. That means a lot to me, man. Thank you.”

“Perlopiù solo ciò che è falso ha in sé un certo spirito. E' come se in questo modo gli uomini volessero esprimere la loro avversione per la realtà, che è assolutamente priva di fantasia... Anche lo scrittore più scadente è in grado di inventare delle storie che sono migliori della vita reale. Noi questa vita riusciamo a sopportarla soltanto perchè la viviamo in maniera del tutto irreale. Non c'è nulla di più squallido e desolante che finire macinati per davvero dalla mola della vita. Perchè si diventa esattamente come tutti gli altri.”

“Perlu diketahui bahwa Imam Syafii ini lahir jauh sebelum Imam Bukhari, Imam Syafii lahir pada th 150 Hijriyah dan wafat pada th 204 Hijriyah, sedangkan Imam Bukhari lahir pada th 194 Hijriyah dan wafat pada 256 Hijriyah, maka sebagaimana sebagian kelompok banyak yang meremehkan Imam syafii, dan menjatuhkan fatwa fatwa Imam syafii dengan berdalilkan shahih Bukhari, maka hal ini salah besar, karena Imam Syafii sudah menjadi Imam sebelum usianya mencapai 40 tahun, maka ia telah menjadi Imam besar sebelum Imam Bukhari lahir ke dunia.”

“Permacapital Economics is all about Multiplicative Value Effects. A Multiplicative Value Effect is an effect that arises whereby many good things come from one thing. It's about the increased value that arises from the synergy that exists between connected value producers. Furthermore, Multiplicative Value Effects are distinguished by a reality whereby each unit of value produced multiplies with other units of value produced such that the total value produced is a multiple of the inputs, and not merely a sum of the inputs. This is how nature works. A seed planted in the soil for example, becomes an antennae for fungal networks, a partner for microbes, eventually grows into a home for insects and animals, eventually produces food for various life forms in the form of leaves and fruits, creates new soil which hosts more of the same processes, and eventually produces an abundance of seeds each of which can have the same effect the original seed had. And all the while, no waste is produced. This is Multiplicative Value Effects, and this is what we need in our economy.”

“Permacapital economics, with its foundational principles of efficiency, equitable growth, reciprocal prosperity, resource, efficiency, and ethical business practices, offers a potentially superior framework for achieving national and global economic resilience.”

“Permaculture Capital Stewardship, or Permaculture Investing, is about not just having a diversified portfolio, but having a portfolio where all of the assets within the portfolio have synergy and whereby that synergy is channeled toward maximized productivity for both shareholders and stakeholders. A permaculture investment portfolio has a multiplicative value effect.”

“Permaculture economics is a new and novel sustainable framework that integrates permaculture principles with capitalist fundamentals. It prioritizes wealth cultivation, ecological harmony, sustainability, and efficient capital use, encouraging businesses to operate ethically and responsibly. This approach seeks a balance between economic growth, wealth equity, and environmental sustainability, promoting a regenerative and harmonious economic system.”

“Permaculture Economics is a system that only allows contexts whererby the pursuit of profit is aligned with the pursuit of service, and whereby that service is to the benefit of not only a specific group directly but to society at large indirectly - such that every economic participant indirectly benefits from the profit pursuits of other economic participants. Lets learn from nature. In a forest, every life form there benefits when a single leaf is returned to the soil, or when a single bee transports the pollen of a single flower, or when a single mushroom sends out spores. There are exclusive interactions and exclusive services, but the exclusivity of benefits has its limits. A single kind of life form may get the majority of benefits from a certain activity, but all life forms in that ecosystem will receive some residual benefits from that activity. And this isn't by force, but by design.”
