雁过拔毛，人过留声

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

 “So you would like to interview me?” God asked

“If you have the time” I said.

God smiled

“My time is eternity”

“What questions do you have in mind for me?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?...”

God answered...

“That they get bored with childhood. They rush to grow up and then long to be children again.”

“That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health.”

“That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.”

That they live as if they will never die, and die as if they had never lived.”

God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while

And then I asked...

“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”

God replied with a smile

“To learn they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is let themselves be loved.”

“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”

“To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.”

“To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love,

and it takes many years to heal them.”

“To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.”

“To learn that there are persons who love them dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings.”

“To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.”

“To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others. But that they must forgive themselves.”

“And to learn that I am here always.”   

Let's Start From Here

Giving up, why should I
we've come to far to forget
we're beautiful, we just got lost
somewhere along the way
so much was missing when you went away
Let's start from here, lose the past
change our minds, we don't need a finish line
let's take this chance not think too deep
of all those promises we couldn't seem to keep
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here
standing here face to face
a finger on your lips
don't say a word don't make a sound
silence surrounds us now
even when you were gone I felt you everywhere
Let's start from here, lose the past
change our minds, we don't need a finish line
let's take this chance not think too deep
of all those promises we couldn't seem to keep
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here
Let's start from here
I've never been the one to open up
but you've always been the voive within
the only warmth from my cold heart
Let's start from here, lose the past
change our minds, we don't need a finish line
let's take this chance not think too deep
of all those promises
Let's start from here, lose the past
change our minds
we don't need a finish line
let's take this chance not think too deep
of all those promises we couldn't seem to keep
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here
Let's start from here
Let's start from here
Let's start from here
Let's start from here

 

     东临碣石，以观沧海。
　　水何澹澹，山岛竦峙。
　　树木丛生，百草丰茂。
　　秋风萧瑟，洪波涌起。
　　日月之行，若出其中；
　　星汉灿烂，若出其里。
　　幸甚至哉，歌以咏志。

 

念书的时候体会不到诗的气势，走向社会了，方方面面的东西让人变得越来越小心，此时更觉豪杰的心态可贵，非我辈可以接近的。

Life is a Marathon, take a deep breath, be patient.

一头犁牛半块田，收也凭天，荒也凭天；

粗茶淡饭饱三餐，早也香甜，晚也香甜；

布衣得暖胜丝绵，长也可穿，短也可穿；

草舍茅屋有几间，行也安然，待也安然；

雨过天晴驾小船，鱼在一边，酒在一边；

夜归儿女话灯前，今也有言，古也有言；

日上三竿我独眠，谁是神仙，我是神仙！
