You and I

if we find each other ...

(photo: here)

     

I do mine thing, and you do your thing.
   

I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
   

And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
   

You are you and I am I, 
   

And if by chance we find each other, 
   

it’s beautiful.

      - Frederick S. Perls -

Just read this article on a website, 

and thought it's sensible and beautiful

for those who are looking for friends or love...

Crazy

昨天將自己的 MixPod's favorite playlist 貼在部落格一角，

其中最喜歡的一首歌就是 Willie Nelson's "Crazy" ，每回聽

他以低沉的嗓音娓娓唱出熱戀中人那種患得患失的心情時，

彷彿自己也沉入那頗為憂慮惆悵的情緒中...

I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so lonely
and I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so blue

and I know
you'd love me as long as you wanted
and then someday
you leave me for somebody new

worry
why do I let myself worry
wondering
what in the world did I do

and I'm crazy
for thinking that my love could hold you
and I'm crazy for trying
crazy for crying
and I'm crazy for loving you


註：這個播放清單中許多歌曲都是朋友在FB上分享的，而自己在聆聽時非常喜歡，猜想任何人以此與男/女朋友分享時，應該會讓情人感動莫名吧。

出走

出走是不敢多想卻一直藏在心裡的小小夢想，多年前曾出走過一次，藉著遊學名義，獲得父母首肯，隨友人飛往倫敦，前後三個月的時間，除了加強英文外，大多時不是逛博物館，就是參加學校舉辦的各種週間、週末活動，要不就自助旅行四處玩，叁個月內玩遍了蘇格蘭、英格蘭、威爾斯，以及歐洲大陸的法國、西班牙、義大利、奧地利、匈牙利....

歐洲假期結束後，直接飛往紐約，賴在姐姐位於曼哈頓的迷你公寓內兩個月，把大蘋果玩透透，當然也沒忘記去加拿大賞楓、遊千島湖，同時觀賞尼加拉瓜大瀑布，那樣的無憂無慮，純放空享樂的日子，還真是永難忘懷呀。


但那畢竟已是久遠之前的事了，曾幾何時，想出走的念頭又在心底悄悄滋生，但現實狀況卻讓我無法放下一切，因為母親年事已大，兄姐又遠在美國，弟弟則不敢期待，若我出走，誰又能來照顧老人家呢？


有時想想，還真有些小小的無奈，但這就是人生，能玩樂時就應盡情玩樂，當放下時就要放下...

Accepting some mistakes

前些時在 Paulo Coelho 的部落格讀到這篇很棒的文章，覺得可供自己警惕。


The German philosopher F. Nietzsche once said: “it is no use living arguing about everything; it is part of human nature to make a mistake now and again.”


And the writer James Joyce shares the same opinion -- “A man’s errors are his portals of discovery.”


Yet we all know people who absolutely insist that they are right even down to the smallest details.  We ourselves are often included in this category: we don’t allow ourselves to make mistakes.


All that we achieve with such an attitude is the fear of moving forward – because certain steps call for new decisions whose results are unknown to us.


The fear of making a mistake is the door that locks us up in the castle of mediocrity: if we manage to overcome this fear, we are taking an important step towards our freedom.

城市影像 (a reflection)

偶而，心似止水，平靜無波 

但，大多時，卻心思紛雜，漣漪不斷

雨，滋潤大地，讓萬物恢復盎然生機

雨，恣意落在色彩滿溢的城市

雨，讓寂寞的心更添惆悵 ...

瑩白燦光與黑灰螺旋一路相伴

捷運隧道風景，冷靜兼有混亂

好似城市生活步調

凌亂扭曲建築倒影，似反映扭曲的城市一角

更多時，似呈現行人內心世界的吶喊與不安

All about your heart

The first time I listened to this song was a few days ago, 

which was shared by one of my friend.  Since then, I love

this beautiful song and Mindy's soft voice...

I don't mind your odd behavior
It's the very thing I savor
If you were an ice cream flavor
You would be my favorite one
My imagination sees you
Like a painting by Van Gogh
Starry nights and bright sunflowers
Follow you where you may go

Oh, I've loved you from the start
In every single way
And more each passing day
You are brighter than the stars
Believe me when I say
It's not about your scars
It's all about your heart

You're a butterfly held captive
Small and safe in your cocoon
Go on you can take your time
Time is said to heal all wounds

Chorus

Like a lock without a key
Like a mystery without a clue
There is no me if I cannot have you

Chorus

Night surf

                   (a film by Iker Elorrieta)


清朗夜空　繁星閃爍迤邐於天際
皎潔明月　揮灑銀白燦光於海面
衝浪手　輕盈矯捷優游於水上
靜待　每個完美浪潮來襲
起身　馭浪前行　翻轉　
爆發力與美的極限競技
星空下水面上　寂靜演出...

夜

思緒自沉睡中覺醒

無邊無際的黑　包覆著大地

酸澀的眼　掙扎著分辨

昏暗中　一切讓人迷惘

這　是夢還是幻境

傾聽世界依舊寂靜

滑過眼角的淚　與孤獨對望

輕聲低訴　遙遠的思念

幾度輾轉　企盼

夜　再次擁抱夢與我

日出

晨曦聞群鳥歡唱　悄然現身

燦爛金光　映照海面雲影上

七彩繽紛　魅惑宇宙穹蒼　

朝潮隨千浪前行　翩然而至

湛藍絲綢　舒捲沙灘礁石間

幽微光影　閃爍惆悵雙眼　

思緒如潮汐起落　飄忽不定

交疊纏繞　徘徊現實虛幻中

紅塵往事　依舊牽絆我心　

五月時與哥及母親前往台東都蘭灣旅遊，入住「白石牛」海景民宿，清晨未及五點，聞鳥兒齊唱，起身一探，晨曦微露，天剛亮，立即更衣出門，下至一樓「東河戀」咖啡小館觀景台，搶拍日出前後海上與礁石區之美麗光影變化。回家後整理相片時，想起旅遊前的心情，突生惆悵與感觸。

觀莫內花園展

　　　　　　《在阿讓特港附近散步》

妳自遠方緩緩走來

藍天白雲為幕

似錦繁花為毯

成行綠樹為伴

我在這裡靜靜等候

望著風追逐妳揚起的裙角

恰如我飛揚的心　繞著你旋轉

此刻的我　幸福滿溢

那年夏天

那年夏天   在老哥赴美工作數年後
初次拜訪他離舊金山矽谷不遠的家
典型美式社區住宅    前有修剪得宜的草坪
後有繽紛熱鬧的小花園    雖然乏人細心照顧
園內仍有掛滿鵝黃青綠果實的檸檬樹
隨風搖曳的粉艷紫滕    不知名的各式香草植物
還有這隨處綻放  散發幽微馨香的粉紅玫瑰
讓不甚適應舊金山微寒六月的我
也能感染夏天已悄然而至的溫暖氛圍

迷航

alone again, naturally

駐足停留　因為迷失方向　還是旅途勞頓　

短暫歇息　只為釐清當下　還是沉思未來　

曾經不畏寒暑　無懼艱難　奔波於塵世　　

如今環顧海與天　何處可覓食　何方是歸途
