You know, what I do is write for children,
0
0
3000
Pekerjaan saya adalah menulis cerita anak - anak,
00:18
and I'm probably America's
1
3000
2000
dan mungkin saya adalah pengarang
00:20
most widely read children's author, in fact.
2
5000
2000
cerita anak - anak yang paling banyak dibaca di Amerika.
00:22
And I always tell people
3
7000
2000
Dan saya selalu berkata kepada orang - orang
00:24
that I don't want to show up looking like a scientist.
4
9000
3000
bahwa saya tidak mau tampil seperti ilmuwan.
00:27
You can have me as a farmer, or in leathers,
5
12000
3000
Anda bisa menemukan saya memakai baju petani, atau baju kulit,
00:30
and no one has ever chose farmer.
6
15000
3000
dan tidak pernah ada orang yang memilih petani.
00:34
I'm here today to talk to you
7
19000
2000
Hari ini saya ingin berbicara kepada Anda
00:36
about circles and epiphanies.
8
21000
2000
tentang lingkaran dan pencerahan.
00:38
And you know, an epiphany
9
23000
2000
Dan tahukah Anda, pencerahan
00:40
is usually something you find that you dropped someplace.
10
25000
2000
biasanya adalah sesuatu yang telah Anda jatuhkan.
00:42
You've just got to go around the block
11
27000
2000
Anda hanya perlu berkeliling sebentar
00:44
to see it as an epiphany.
12
29000
2000
untuk melihatnya sebagai pencerahan.
00:46
That's a painting of a circle.
13
31000
2000
Ini adalah lukisan sebuah lingkaran
00:48
A friend of mine did that -- Richard Bollingbroke.
14
33000
3000
yang dibuat sahabat saya -- Richard Bollingbroke.
00:51
It's the kind of complicated circle
15
36000
2000
Ini adalah lingkaran yang rumit
00:53
that I'm going to tell you about.
16
38000
2000
yang akan saya ceritakan kepada Anda.
00:55
My circle began back in the '60s
17
40000
3000
Lingkaran saya dimulai di tahun 60-an
00:58
in high school in Stow, Ohio
18
43000
2000
di sebuah SMA di Stow, Ohio
01:00
where I was the class queer.
19
45000
3000
di mana saya adalah anak yang aneh di kelas.
01:03
I was the guy beaten up bloody
20
48000
2000
Saya dipukuli sampai berdarah
01:05
every week in the boys' room,
21
50000
2000
setiap minggu di kamar mandi laki - laki
01:07
until one teacher saved my life.
22
52000
3000
sampai seorang guru menyelamatkan saya.
01:10
She saved my life by letting me go to the bathroom
23
55000
3000
Dia menyelamatkan saya dengan mengijinkan saya
01:13
in the teachers' lounge.
24
58000
2000
pergi ke kamar mandi guru.
01:15
She did it in secret.
25
60000
2000
Dia melakukannya dengan rahasia
01:17
She did it for three years.
26
62000
2000
selama tiga tahun,
01:19
And I had to get out of town.
27
64000
3000
setelah itu saya pergi keluar kota.
01:22
I had a thumb, I had 85 dollars,
28
67000
2000
Saya mempunyai sebuah jempol, $85.
01:24
and I ended up in San Francisco, California --
29
69000
4000
dan akhirnya saya sampai di San Fransisco, California --
01:28
met a lover --
30
73000
3000
menemukan seorang kekasih --
01:31
and back in the '80s, found it necessary
31
76000
2000
dan di tahun 80-an, saya merasa harus
01:33
to begin work on AIDS organizations.
32
78000
5000
mulai bekerja di organisasi AIDS.
01:38
About three or four years ago,
33
83000
2000
Sekitar tiga atau empat tahun lalu,
01:40
I got a phone call in the middle of the night
34
85000
2000
saya mendapat telpon di tengah malam
01:42
from that teacher, Mrs. Posten,
35
87000
3000
dari guru tersebut, Nyonya Posten
01:45
who said, "I need to see you.
36
90000
2000
di mana dia berkata, " Saya ingin melihatmu.
01:47
I'm disappointed
37
92000
2000
Saya kecewa
01:49
that we never got to know each other as adults.
38
94000
3000
karena kita tidak pernah mengenal satu sama lain sebagai orang dewasa.
01:52
Could you please come to Ohio,
39
97000
3000
Bisakah kamu datang ke Ohio,
01:55
and please bring that man
40
100000
2000
dan tolong bawa laki - laki
01:57
that I know you have found by now.
41
102000
3000
yang saya tahu pasti sudah kamu temukan sekarang.
02:00
And I should mention
42
105000
2000
Dan saya harus memberi tahu
02:02
that I have pancreatic cancer,
43
107000
3000
bahwa saya menderita kanker pankreas,
02:05
and I'd like you to please
44
110000
2000
dan saya ingin agar kamu
02:07
be quick about this."
45
112000
3000
cepat datang."
02:10
Well, the next day we were in Cleveland.
46
115000
2000
Hari berikutnya kami sampai di Cleveland.
02:12
We took a look at her, we laughed, we cried,
47
117000
3000
Kami menjenguknya, kami tertawa, menangis,
02:15
and we knew that she needed to be in a hospice.
48
120000
4000
dan kami tahu bahwa dia harus dibawa rumah sakit.
02:19
We found her one, we got her there,
49
124000
2000
Kami membawanya ke sana,
02:21
and we took care of her
50
126000
2000
dan kami merawatnya
02:23
and watched over her family,
51
128000
2000
dan merawat keluarganya,
02:25
because it was necessary.
52
130000
2000
karena itu perlu,
02:27
It's something we knew how to do.
53
132000
2000
itu sesuatu yang kita tahu bagaimana caranya.
02:29
And just as the woman who wanted to know me as an adult
54
134000
4000
Dan sebagai seorang wanita yang ingin mengenal saya sebagai orang dewasa
02:33
got to know me,
55
138000
2000
setelah mengenal saya,
02:35
she turned into a box of ashes
56
140000
2000
dia berubah menjadi sekotak abu
02:37
and was placed in my hands.
57
142000
3000
dan ditempatkan di tangan saya.
02:40
And what had happened
58
145000
2000
Dan apa yang terjadi
02:42
was the circle had closed,
59
147000
2000
adalah lingkaran itu telah menutup,
02:44
it had become a circle --
60
149000
3000
itu telah menjadi lingkaran --
02:47
and that epiphany I talked about
61
152000
2000
dan pencerahan yang saya katakan tadi
02:49
presented itself.
62
154000
2000
muncul dengan sendirinya.
02:51
The epiphany is
63
156000
2000
Pencerahan itu adalah
02:53
that death is a part of life.
64
158000
2000
kematian adalah bagian dari kehidupan.
02:55
She saved my life;
65
160000
3000
Dia menyelamatkan saya,
02:58
I and my partner saved hers.
66
163000
4000
Saya dan teman saya menyelamatkannya.
03:02
And you know, that part of life needs everything
67
167000
2000
Dan tahukah Anda, bagian hidup itu memerlukan
03:04
that the rest of life does.
68
169000
2000
semua yang dibutuhkan bagian hidup lainnya.
03:06
It needs truth and beauty,
69
171000
2000
Hal itu memerlukan kebenaran dan keindahan,
03:08
and I'm so happy it's been mentioned so much here today.
70
173000
3000
dan saya senang hal itu banyak diungkit di sini pada hari ini.
03:11
It also needs --
71
176000
3000
Itu juga memerlukan --
03:14
it needs dignity,
72
179000
2000
martabat,
03:16
love and pleasure,
73
181000
2000
cinta dan kepuasan.
03:18
and it's our job to hand those things out.
74
183000
3000
Dan tugas kita adalah untuk membagikannya.
03:21
Thank you.
75
186000
2000
Terima kasih.
03:23
(Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Jok Church - CartoonistJok Church created the science-education comic strip "You Can with Beakman and Jax" and the zany TV series "Beakman's World."
Why you should listen
In his work, Jok Church loved helping kids learn basic concepts of science and experimentation -- with a healthy dash of fun. He created his comic strip You Can with Beakman & Jax in 1991 for his local newspaper in Marin County, California -- inspired by a stint answering kids' letters for Lucasfilm. The comic strip does not answer readers' questions directly. Rather, it gives directions to do a thing, a procedure, an experiment to learn the answer. It's about learning by doing. Active. Not passive.
Six Beakman & Jax books are best-sellers. Church created the long-running TV series Beakman's World, a hit in English and Spanish, and helped create the Beakman's World on Tour exhibit for science centers and museums. A longtime techie, he also served as the webmaster for artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Church died April 29, 2016, and will be much missed.
