靜夜在賞詩。a poem.

信仰 (席慕容)

我相信   愛的本質一如   生命的單純與溫柔
我相信   所有的   光與影的反射和相投

我相信   滿樹的花朵   只源於冰雪中的一粒種子
我相信   三百篇詩   反復述說著的   也就只是
年少時沒能說出的   那一個字

我相信   上蒼一切的安排
我也相信   如果你願與我   一起去追溯
在那遙遠而謙卑的源頭之上   我們終於會互相明白

情深說話盡情講。the last farewell to his wife.

年前寫過一篇《60歲的情書》的書評, 年少時那些 see weet see weet的時候說的情話, 甜在心, 卻「聽住先啦」。這下子對你說情話, 轉個頭可以話你get錯左, 或者, 你發現, 其實佢對個個女生都甜言蜜語, 或更甚, 講完就拜拜。

一對夫婦走了大半生, 仍說/寫得出情話/ 情書, 那才真心不怕紅爐火。以下是其中一篇。

Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew's eulogy for Mrs Lee

感動位摘錄:

"Over the years, she influenced my writing style. Now I write in short sentences, in the active voice. We gradually influenced each other's ways and habits as we adjusted and accommodated each other.

We knew that we could not stay starry-eyed lovers all our lives; that life was an on-going challenge with new problems to resolve and manage."

"We never argued over the upbringing of our children, nor over financial matters. Our earnings and assets were jointly held. We were each other's confidant. She had simple pleasures. We would walk around the Istana gardens in the evening, and I hit golf balls to relax.

Later, when we had grandchildren, she would take them to feed the fish and the swans in the Istana ponds."

"The last two years of her life were the most difficult. She was bed-ridden after small successive strokes; she could not speak but she was still cognisant.

Every night she would wait for me to sit by her to tell her of my day's activities and to read her favourite poems.

Then she would sleep.

I have precious memories of our 63 years together. Without her, I would be a different man, with a different life. She devoted herself to me and our children. She was always there when I needed her. She has lived a life full of warmth and meaning.

I should find solace at her 89 years of her life well lived. But at this moment of the final parting, my heart is heavy with sadness."

又, 他們在英國求學時, 是在Stratford-upon-Avon (莎翁故鄉!) 結婚的啊, how romantic.

微妙的層次。that something faintly, faintly in the air.

「人生，是有層次的。成長和學習的過程，就是為了去經歷、體會當中微妙的層次。」

「當社會不知不覺走入「不要過程，只求答案」的年代，科技發展至什麼都是「按個掣就有」的地步，孩子的人生，都變得煞是簡單。喜歡的東西，就要擁有。對一個人有feel，就發生關係。參加比賽，當然是為了贏。返工，因為想賺大錢。不開心，就哭。無興趣，就放棄。有壓力，就死。」

才子名句, 論 inception.

昨晚開始, 畢先生在玩"inception" 的小玩意, 意圖或企圖植入意念到我腦中...
在此引述他的結語 (for the time being):

「眾裡尋他千百度，那人卻在燈火籮底橙處！」
