非固體材料

在印度有這麼一個造物主創造男人和女人的傳說...

 

天神在造完男人以後.發現固體的材料已經用光了.沒有可以造女人的東西了
天神思索了許久.然後找來了下面這許多種材料來:

月兒的圓潤.蔓藤的彎曲.芳草的微顫.蘆葦的纖長.花朵的開放.葉片的光滑.
陽光的明朗.蜜糖的甜美.老虎的殘酷.火焰的熱情.霜雪的冰冷.喜鵲的饒舌.
夜鶯的嗓音.白鶴的虛假.以及母獅的信心...

 天神把這些非固體的元素都混合起來.造了一個女人出來.然後把她交給男人...

 

過了一個禮拜.男人來找天神說:
 "主啊.你給我的那個受造物.讓我的日子過得苦不堪言.
   她不停地說話.並且百般地折磨.我使我不得安寧.忍無可忍.
   我已經連片刻的休息時間都沒有了.她還要我無時無刻地不注意照顧她.
   我的時間全浪費掉了.另外.每一件芝麻大的小事都會惹她哭.
   為了能再過清靜的日子.我把她還給你.因為我實在不能跟她在一起"

天神說: "好吧" 他就領回了那女人...

 

又過了一個禮拜.男人又來找天神說:
 "自從我把那個受造物給給你以後.我的日子好空虛啊!
  我一直在想她--想她怎麼跳舞唱歌.想她怎麼用眼角看我.
  還有她怎麼跟我喋喋不休.然後又跟我挨挨靠靠.
  她看我的眼神太美了.太溫柔了.我還喜歡聽見她笑.請把她還給我吧"

 天神說: "好吧" 他就把女人還給那男人了...  

 

可是三天後.男人又回來說: 
"主啊.我簡真糊塗了.我是說不清我跟那個受造物之間的經驗.
  我做個結論吧.她給我的煩惱比快樂多. 
  我求求你.把她收回去吧.我沒法子跟她過日子"

天神這次說:
 "可是沒有她.你也沒法子過日子!"  說完了.就轉過身去.繼續做自己的活兒...

 

只留下那個男人絕望地說:
 "我該怎麼辦哪? 有她.我活不下去.沒有她.我也活不了!"

煮酒論英雄





史上莊孝維第一名..........







酒至半酣,忽陰雲漠漠,驟雨將至。從人遙指天外龍挂,操與玄德欄觀之。

操日:「使君知龍之變化否?」
玄德曰:「未知其詳。」

操曰:「龍能大能小,能升能隱;大則興雲吐霧,小則隱介藏形;升則飛騰於宇宙之間,隱則潛伏於波濤之內。方今春深,龍乘時變化,猶人得志而縱橫四海。龍之為物,可比世之英雄。玄德久歷四方,必知當世英雄。請試指言之。」

玄德曰:「備肉眼安識英雄?」
操曰:「休得過謙。」

玄德曰:「備叨恩庇,得仕於朝。天下英雄,實有未知。」
操曰:「既不識其面,亦聞其名。」

玄德曰:「淮南袁術,兵糧足備,可為英雄?」
操笑曰:「塚中枯骨,吾早晚必擒之!」

玄德曰:「河北袁紹,四世三公,門多故吏;今虎踞冀州之地,部下能事者極多,可為英雄?」
操笑曰:「袁紹色厲膽薄,好謀無斷;幹大事而惜身,見小利而忘命:非英雄也。」

玄德曰:「有一人名稱八俊,威鎮九州--劉景升可為英雄?」
操曰:「劉表虛名無實,非英雄也。」

玄德曰:「有一人血氣方剛,江東領袖--孫伯苻乃英雄也?」
操曰:「孫策藉父之名,非英雄也。」

玄德曰:「益州劉季玉,可為英雄乎?」
操曰:「劉璋雖係宗室,乃守戶之犬耳,何足為英雄!」

玄德曰:「如張繡、張魯、韓遂等輩皆何如?」
操鼓掌大笑曰:「此等碌碌小人,何足挂齒!」

玄德曰:「舍此之外,備實不知。」
操曰:「夫英雄者:胸懷大志,腹有良謀,有包藏宇宙之機,吞吐天地之志者也。」

玄德曰:「誰能當之?」
操以手指玄德,後自指曰:「今天下英雄,惟使君與操耳。」

玄德聞言,吃了一驚,手中所執匙筋,不覺落於地下。時正值天兩將至,雷聲大作。
玄德乃從容俯首拾筋曰:「一震之威,乃至於此。」
操笑曰:「丈夫亦畏雷乎?」
玄德曰:「聖人迅雷風烈必變,安得不畏?」
將聞言失筋緣故,輕輕掩飾過了。操遂不疑玄德。

最小的弟兄


那時, 君王要對那些在衪右邊的說:
"我父所祝福的, 你們來吧!
承受自創世以來, 給你們預備了的國度吧!
因為我餓了, 你們給了我吃的; 我渴了, 你們給了我喝的; 我作客, 你們收留了我;
我赤身露體, 你們給了我穿的; 我患病, 你們看顧了我, 我在監裏, 你們來探望了我"

那時, 義人回答衪說:
"啊! 我們什麼時候見了你饑餓而供養了你, 或口渴而給了你喝的?
我們什麼時候見了你作客, 而收留了你, 或赤身露體而給了你穿的?
我們什麼時候見了你患病, 或在監裏而來探望過你?"

君王便回答他門說:
"我實在告訴你們, 凡你們對我這些最小兄弟中的一個所做的, 就是對我做的"

...億年換幾吋 我也寧願這麼盼




張雨生 / 河


當你平躺下來 我便成了河
迴繞你的頸間 在你唇邊乾涸
竊想你的眼神 我戀戀不捨
聚為一泓泉水 深邃清澈

當愛燎原成災 你徐徐側身
堆積肥沃河床 我是朝聖的人
我是客途的雁 卻一往情深
從此無意追逐 新綠的春

任我流吧 層層冰川
億年換幾吋 我也寧願這麼盼
等到昏黃 等到癡傻
等著公主吻青蛙

魔咒緩緩褪盡 你笑的厲害
天曾缺掉的角 無非此等神采
我將殘翼放下 從河中走來
你正頷首告知 這裡有愛

上一次感動是什麼時候, 我忘記了.............





Red Hot Chili Peppers / Under the Bridge



Red Hot Chili Peppers / Under the Bridge (acoustic)



Sometimes I feel like I dont have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of angel
Lonely as I am. Together we cry

I drive on her streets cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy
I never worry now that is a lie

I dont ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Its hard to believe that theres nobody out there
Its hard to believe that Im all alone
At least I have her love the city she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry

I dont ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Under the bridge downtown, is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown, I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown, forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown, I gave my life away

一千年



極美如詩的一首歌...



Sting / A Thousand Years



A thousand years, a thousand more,
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs to a tower of souls
一輪千年, 綿延千輪
千萬道門追往永恆
我或已活盡千生, 輪回千世
無盡的樓梯蜿蜒爬上靈魂之塔

If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
A million names but only one truth to face
如再有千年, 千場戰爭
寶塔直展無數空中樓層
我或拂過又萬抹淚, 萬次瞬息
呼喚萬種名字, 始能面對唯一真理

A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
萬條道路, 萬般恐懼
萬道朝陽, 千萬年變幻無常
我或說盡萬種謊言, 低吟萬首歌曲
萬次仗義, 萬般罪孽, 顛僕於時空的平衡

But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point , this single flame,
The single haunted memory of your face
但如有唯一真理, 唯一光明
唯一想念, 觸動唯一恩典
於是開啟唯一時刻, 爆起唯一火光
糾纏唯一記憶裏你容顏

I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
我依舊深愛你
我仍然渴望你
一千次, 謎團緩緩攤平延伸
如同我腦中銀河

I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
我也許籍籍無名, 也許天真純淨
我也許滿腹經綸, 也許淺薄無知
我或與帝王並騎征戰許多領地
或用紙牌贏得世界, 轉瞬從指間散淨

I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortunes child to judge anothers crimes
Or wear this pilgrims cloak, or be a common thief
Ive kept this single faith, I have but one belief
我可能是戰場炮灰, 被擊碎千次
轉世為幸運之子, 審判他人罪行
或披上朝聖者的斗篷, 或成為聲名狼藉的大盜
我只保有一個承諾, 唯一信仰...

I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
til you love me
我依舊深愛你
我仍然渴望你
一千次, 謎團緩緩攤平延伸
如同我腦中銀河
轉呀轉, 謎團緩緩回卷曲折
永恆依舊無語
直到...你愛我

Love is Patient




Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind;
love has no envy;
love has no high opinion of itself,
love has no pride;
愛是恆久忍耐,又有恩慈
愛是不嫉妒;愛是不自誇,不張狂


Love's ways are ever fair,
it takes no thought for itself;
it is not quickly made angry,
it takes no account of evil;
不做害羞的事
不求自己的益處
不輕易發怒
不計算人的惡


It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing,
but has joy in what is true;
Love has the power of undergoing all things,
having faith in all things, hoping all things.
不喜歡不義,只喜歡真理
凡事包容,凡事相信,凡事盼望,凡事忍耐


Though the prophet's word may come to an end,
tongues come to nothing,
and knowledge have no more value,
love has no end.
雖然先知的言詞終必過去
口舌之能終必停止
知識的價值終必消失
但愛是永不止息的。


1 Corinthians 13:4-8
歌林多前書 13:4-8

Desert Rose



I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand


Sting ft. Cheb Mami / Desert Rose






I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand


I dream of fire
These dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of man's desire

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I colse my eyes, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of her love

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of the fall

嘿然無聲,此為何名?



有鳥止南方之阜,三年不翅不飛不鳴,嘿然無聲,此為何名?」 

三年不翅,將以長羽翼;不飛不鳴,將以觀民則雖無飛,飛必沖天;雖無鳴,鳴必驚人子釋之,不穀知之矣」


韓非子.喻老第二十一》
