Kabut enggan menyingkir dari lorong-lorong kota sumenep..
Roda bis menggiling cepat..
Menggilas jalan..
Menerobos waktu..
Kuda terbang menyapaku di pintu gerbang..
Oh SUMENP ku..
Engkaulah muara darahku..
Engkaulah muara Rinduku..

Tarian Sintung adalah tarian has warga sumenep. Mungkin tarian ini sudah jarang ditemukan di daerah sumenep,bahkan nyaris punah oleh moderenisasi yang terjadi di jaman sekarang. Tarian ini merupakan sastra lisan,maksudnya orang yang bernyanyi mendendangkan nyanyian sejenis mantra. Sebenarnya mantra tersebut merupakan suatu ragam bahasa. Namun yang mengerti mantra tersebut hanyalah orang-orang terdahulu. Di jaman sekarang orang yang menarikan tarian ini,tidak mengerti apa yang ia nyanyikan.

Keunikan Manusia Pasir.

Diposting oleh Mencari Kebenaran |0 komentar

Pernahkah mendengar MANUSIA PASIR ?? Mungkin julukan ini masih aneh di dengar oleh telinga kita. Namun lain halnya dengan warga Sumenep. Julukan ini bahkan sudah familiar di dengar oleh telinga, khususnya bagi warga yang bermukim di dusun Jabau,Desa Legung,Kabupaten Sumenep. Warga dusun Jabau memang dijuluki sebagai manusia pasir. Mungkin timbul pertanyaan dalam hati kita mengapa disebut manusia pasir ?? apakah mereka terbuat dari pasir??

Julukan manusia berpasir bukan karena mereka terbuat dari pasir,tetapi masyarakat dusun Jabau memiliki kebiasaan yang unik. Kebiasaan ini tentu saja berhubungan dengan pasir. Masyarakat dusun Jabau memilih pasir sebagai penganti kasur. Bukan hanya itu,tehel yang biasa digunakan sebagai alas dari sebuah rumah jarang ditemukan di dusun Jabau. Mereka lebih memilih pasir sebagai alternative pertama pengganti tehel. Halaman rumah mereka juga dihiasi dengan butiran-butiran pasir.

Pasir dipercaya mereka bias menjauhkan diri mereka dari santet,pellet dan lain semacamnya. Hal ini merupakan kepercayaan turun temurun dari nenek moyang mereka. Dan sampai saat ini kepercayaan tersebut mendarah daging pada warga dusun Jabau.

Ditinjau dari segi ilmiah,pasir memiliki tekstur yang halus. Yang mempunyai daya serap yang tinggi terhadap air. Oleh karena itu pasir tidak berbahay jika dijadikan alas tidur. Selain tu hal ini menunjukan bahwa masyarakat Sumenep khususnya Dusun jabau sangat tergantung dengan alam. Oleh karena itu sebagai warga Sumenep sewajarnya kita harus menjaga alam. Bukan sebaliknya!
