Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind.....


In the story, she wishes to delete him from her memory, but at the bottom of their hearts, their attraction is so deep that the deletion was futile.
In reality, same thing occured again and again....

Said Nietzche : "Human, too Human" . ... So Sad to say...

After " Le Renard et l'Enfant"

The French movie " Le Renard et l'Enfant" (Fox and Child) by Luc Jacuet tells a story about Relationship, about Love, about Caring, and about Freedom.


In addition to the deep poetry, the beautiful and astonishing scenery really touches our deepest heart...

I thought of this.....:

"小王子" 與狐狸


"你好!"小王子很有禮貌地回答。他回過頭來,但什麼也沒有看到。
  「我在這裡。」那聲音說:「在蘋果樹底下。」
  「你是誰啊?」小王子問:「你很好看…」
  「我是狐狸。」狐狸說。
  「來跟我玩吧!」小王子向他建議道:「我很悲傷。」
  狐狸說:「我不能跟你玩,我還沒被馴養。」
  「啊,對不起!」小王子說。
  但想了一會兒後,他接下去說:
  「什麼叫『馴養』?」
  狐狸說:「你不是這裡的人。你在找什麼?」
  「我在找人。」小王子說:「什麼叫『馴養』?」
  狐狸說:「那些人嗎,他們有槍,他們打獵,這很討厭。但他們也養雞,這是他們唯一的好處。你在找雞嗎?」
  小王子說:「不,我在找朋友。什麼叫『馴養』?」
  「這是件被遺忘的事。」狐狸說:「馴養就是『建立關係…』」
  「建立關係?」
   狐狸說:「不錯。對我來說,你只不過是個小孩,跟其他成千成萬的小孩沒有分別,我不需要你,你也一樣不需要我。我對於你也只不過是一隻狐狸,跟成千成萬其他的狐狸一模一樣。但是,假如你馴養我,我們就彼此互相需要。你對於我將是世界上唯一的,我對於你也將是世界上唯一的…」
  「我開始懂了。」小王子說:「有一朵花…我相信她馴養了我…」
  狐狸說:「這是可能的。在地球上我們看到各種各樣的東西…」
  「哦!她不在地球上。」小王子說。
  狐狸顯得異常疑惑,問道:
  「在另外一顆星球上面?」
  「沒錯。」
  「再好不過了!」狐狸嘆道。
  但是狐狸又回到原來的話題:
   「我的生活很單調。我獵取雞,獵人獵取我。所有的雞都是一樣的,所有的人也是一樣。於是我感到有些不耐煩。但是,假如你馴養我,我的生活將如充滿了陽光般。我將認識一種腳步聲,它將與其他所有的腳步聲不同。其他的腳步聲使我更深地躲進洞裡,你的腳步聲像音樂一樣把我從洞裡叫出來。再說,看吧,你看見那邊的麥田嗎?我並不吃麵包,麥子對我一樣也沒有用處。那些麥田並不會使我想起什麼。這倒有點傷心。但是你有金色的頭髮。於是當你馴養了我,這將是很好的一件事!那些金色的黃小麥,將使我想起你。而我將喜歡聽吹過麥田的風聲…」
  狐狸不說話了,牠看了小王子很久,說:
  「請你馴養我吧!」
  「我很願意。」小王子回答說:「但是我的時間不太多,我要找朋友,我有很多的事要認識。」
  「一個人只要認識他馴養的東西就好。」狐狸說:「很多人不再有時間去認識東西。他們在商人那裡買現成的東西,但是因為商人並不賣朋友,所以很多人沒有朋友。假如你想得到一位朋友,那麼就馴養我吧!」
  「我該怎麼做?」小王子問。
  狐狸回答說:「你該很有耐心。你先坐得離我遠一點,像這樣,坐在草地上。我就拿眼角看你,你不要說話。語言是誤會的泉源。但是,每天你可以坐近我一點…」

難得一笑.....


忘了是聽到甚麼高興的事兒,
還是見到心愛的人....
還是....
難得在這金融危機天天下狂雨的一天,
嶄露微笑。。。
電腦盡量不盯著看,電視也略過任何政治經濟無聊的謾罵...
我們笑說,只好多聞聞山林的味道,多泡泡海水的溫暖,
多庸庸懶懶的躺在沙發上...
哪天,像釋迦摩尼住山洞也行呢?!

Afternoon Tea in Taipei








Yang Ming Shan :






A quiet and artistic garden for a heart to heart afternoon tea ....






於陽明春天, 創意食舫 (Score:68)





離台北市區不到十五分鐘的車程,
來到了一個石桌古蹟遍佈的地方。
觀音彷彿在午後黃昏無時的庇佑著...

"The Winner takes it all" :

4."I have a Dream" and "Thank you for the Music" in the Movie:
http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=dIeNTL3lcF4&feature=related

I do like the music. However, I think due to the happy and pretentious ending, the story is very good until the end...., which really spoils it....

About Obsession ...

2008, Bangkok, Wot Pho
I quietly circled around the reclining Buddha, made my wishes and vows, and felt content and convalescent, mystically, for he has the power to override our fear....
In Yalom's Novel, "When Nietzsche Wept",
Nietzsche said: "Despair is the price one pays for self-awareness. If you wish for peace of soul and happiness, you must believe and embrace faith. Those who wish to pursue the truth must forsake peace of mind and devote their life to inquiry."

I call this transpiring, and inquiry: "self-awareness," of which neither an easy nor pleasant path would be paved in front of you...

While during the progression of self awareness, I do believe a faith of truth ( the inborn ability to obtain the stage of enlightenment) and a faith of the awareness for absolute reality, should be encoded within oneself. Otherwise, Nietzsche said these four malicious thoughts will hunt you for the rest of your life : feeling of loneliness, fear of death, craving for freedom, and fear of aging.

Likewise, sometimes, I would weep over something I cannot perceive any certain causes....

If you wish, Let's find out the root of our innermost feeling and burdens....
