#HappyBEarthday! True to my brand, here are several batik motifs and the connection of their meanings to #GoodOmens!

Truntum: Unconditional love that grows slowly, cultivated over long period of time, and just keeps growing (Javanese: "tumaruntum").

Udan liris: "soft rain", which combines water and fire in one design. The motif of compassion that also symbolizes inner strength in facing difficult situations.

Mega mendung: the act of balance between two contrasting things or powers in universe, which is important to sustain life.

Kawung: an unlikely exterior hiding pure, good heart, like sugar palm fruits with their rough, hard skin and delicious interior (just don't tell that person if they don't like the word "nice").

Tambal: the act of "patching, healing, or, fixing", ranging from physical healing to fixing past mistakes.

Parang: the motifs of waves and mountain slopes, symbolizing tenacity and determination in trying to do "the right thing" and channeling your inner quality. The dark and light shades symbolize eternal push and pull between two inner powers.

Sekar jagad: "flowers of the world", celebrating the true beauty of the world despite its shortcomings. Basically the batik version of "to the world" mantra.
