回頭的暴風雨

今年在農曆七月

我坐上一艘紙船

毫無目的的漂蕩。


暴風雨來臨，紙船依然還堅固地浮在海上。

暴風雨暫時離去，心情有種雨過天晴的感覺。

趁這機會，趕緊透透氣，松松筋骨，好準備迎待再次回頭的暴風雨。

Inspirational quotes | "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom

"None of us can undo what we've done, or relive a life already recorded. But if Professor Morris Schwartz taught me anything at all, it was this: there is no such thing as "too late" in life. He was changing until the day he said goodbye." ~ Mitch Albom

"As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on - in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here." ~ Morris Schwartz

"The problem is that we don't believe we are as much alike as we are. Whites and blacks, Catholics and Protestants, men and women. If we saw each other as more alike, we might be very eager to join in one by human family in this world, and to care about that family the way we care about our own." ~ Morris Schwartz

"We all have tha same beginning - birth - and we all have the same end - death. So how different can we be?" ~ Morris Schwartz

風雨見真情

離8月8日的“莫拉客”暴風事件有十天了，五月天阿信近期的博客上寫到：
“...「風雨見真情」，但是沒有風雨，只見真情，不知道有多好。只怕我們都是健忘的，風雨遠離，真情也跟著遠去。”

今天下午，我在一間咖啡店里的電視機上看到本地節目《前線追蹤之欺騙老人》。節目里的阿婆年老多病，加上被假冒義工的女士偷走了錢財，一無所有，非常讓人心酸。看完了節目，我有一個衝動想去找阿婆，當她的義工，長期照顧她，保護她。

但想了一想，我家也有一個年老的媽媽，幹嘛不照顧她而想去照顧一位陌生的阿婆呢？

可能我媽媽擁有一肚子的福氣，不需要我去愛她、照顧她。

「風雨見真情」..... 可能在謀一天，我媽媽福氣洩光了，開始病重衰弱的時候，我才會醒悟，才會把關懷轉向於她吧....


回家途中，眇小的我抬頭往著高大的樹問道：「要希望有那一天嗎？」

Blessings

Life has its unexpected twists and turns.

Having a group of caring friends is one's blessings.

Thank you comrades, for those listening ears.

Digital Dumping

In the IT world, the human species is forever racing.

Racing for the latest model.
Racing for the sleekest look.
Racing for the coolest "toy".

If the human species slows down on consumerism and takes a breather, would that force the manufacturers to cut down on unnecessary productions?

Would all then be able to smell the current damages to both the earth and their fellow species?

Would they realize that they are racing towards an eventual global shutdown?

風箏滿天飛

風箏在天上漂蕩
它在空中搖晃

好像在尋找東西似的。


風箏在尋找甚麼呢？


風箏在藍色的天空浮著
它不能自由地飛

因為腳下勒了一條看不見的線。


小鳥穿過一朵朵的白雲
它越過風箏，一眼愛上了它。

為了解放風箏，小鳥咬斷了線
從此，与風箏一起盲目地飛翔......

閃電的威力

幾天前送一位喝酒喝到 high 的朋友回家。

那時，天空下著毛毛雨。德仕沿著高速公路奔馳。面前一片遼闊的夜空。

沒有這位朋友的 high ，也不會看到一幕壯觀的景象；類似手掌心紋的閃電，誇過那黑漆漆的天空。它又是驚人，又是有吸影力。

凌晨的三點半，也可以是很美的。
