Benedick: Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably !

One foot on the sea,
The other on the shore ....

讓我們感動，讓我們哭的歌曲.....Angels and Hello Dear Wake Up by Xhen How

＂總有一些歌，讓我們悲傷讓我們哭
其實讓我們哭泣的並不是歌本身，
而是藏在歌裡面的那些回憶...＂
 
從前，我對人的記憶，常常是一個人連繫著一首歌。
和他一起演出的曲子,  或是和他一起欣賞的樂章，
或是那是一首他唱給我, 或為我而作的曲子。
那會帶來一種當場的情境。。！容易流淚！

金色筆記 : 天堂島嶼上的Vampire

參加了一場溫馨的婚禮，男主角出場方式很特別，
拿著麥克風一路高唱的走進來。。。進入凡間的天堂！
還是讓我想起 Edward Cullen:天堂島嶼上的Vampire

深情的凝視，穿透你的思緒，
那種殺氣帶著柔情，把所有圍繞你的危機冰凍。
不用太多的話語，攝受你慌亂的心；

霸道的，用熱到極凍點的愛，
把你吞噬。
純粹到不可說~~

Twilight Saga~
Love The Pure Innocent Romantic and immortal Love in Twilight!!
喜歡＂暮光之城＂裡的愛，
純情永恆的，乾淨的，無雜質的，
在血液裡流竄。
雖然最後一集不怎好看，配樂很天外一筆的讓人專住。



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uycOpnYnd5g&feature=youtube_gdata_player

親愛的，別慌。

你說, 寶貝，
你要永遠愛我，懂我。
我說，親愛的，
我喜歡
被你的凝視，迷惑；
喜歡被你的憂愁，佔倨。
好，我也永遠愛你，懂你。

隨著心跳的節奏，慌亂，
酒氣在醉倒的空間裡，渗透。
交纏的眼神，
藏不住熱血沸騰，
像四月的冰河山雪，奔走，流放。

愛你的綿密，寵你的高亢。
吻你，在狂亂的淚珠，
在狂亂的大雨中
在懷裡聆聼著你夢想的狂妄，
卻是句句錐心的背叛。
親愛的，別慌。

The Guitarist Tunes Up ~ " Mysterious Face"

To Musicians: Bravo !! Bravo!!

For a Soul and Fire Concert " Mysterious Face"
at the Night of 11/22/2011

吉他手調琴.......
看他俯身多麼專注而有禮，
照拂那樂器;
非以高傲征服者的姿態對付，
... 弦絲及琴木。
... 而像男人跟他鍾情的女人，
悅色的詢問，
她有何重要事情需要說明，
然後，他和她，才能開始演出 ~~

The Guitarist Tunes Up...
"With what attentive courtesy he bent,
Over his instrument;
Not as alordly conqueror who could command both wire and wood.
But as a man with a loved woman might,
Inquiring with delight
What slight essential things she had to say
Before they started, he and she, to Play."

----- F.Cornford ( Grand Daughter of Charles Darwin )

Music be the food of love~

If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.~~Duke Orsino
From the Twelfth Night by Shakespeare

Duke is in love with the concept of love!
There is a difference!

I feel so sad again~~
Now emptiness prevails .

金色筆記：人生如夢

Photo by X. H. 

有人說，你今生會遇上的人，
在前世就已經約定了。
也許在夢裡，
像網路似在空氣裡迷漫。
你的眼充滿了迷惘，在雨中。
你入俗的說你見過我~
但是我知道你並沒有說謊。
我也見過你....

人生如夢...

這擦肩的火花
隨著香檳的氣泡擴散，
是否，這是你刻意的安排？
我是多麼刻意的想要逃脫

逃避一切的浪漫陷阱。

為什麼要我
再次走進有男有女的霧中？
滿林鳥飛，毫無盡頭？
最愛的是你，卻是如夢似幻。

What is happiness?

“The amount of happiness that you have
depends on the amount of freedom you have in your heart.”
- Thich Nhat Hanh

Milky Way at Bir, India

金色筆記：at 3：00 am in the morning

‎3:00 am. 半夜裡，手腳都塗上最愛的亮麗桃紅色指甲油。身上擦着甜甜的CoCo~~
只因在半山上，秋月惆悵的令人打寒顫，細雨把心窩錐得疼。
看著庭院裡的楓樹，慢慢的凋零，溫柔的凝視，火紅金黃的透露出原本的脆弱，淒美的嬌縱!
— at 陽明山夜景.

And still, I have this impeccable sadness suffocates me, deeper and deeper.
There seems no point of escaping as there is also no point of reference down to the path in samsara. I am entering a black hole where no one can hear my voice, where I could not utter a word from my mouth.
I think only mantra accompanies this sadness will safe me from explosion.....But still, I shed tears, like sparkling pearls, one by one.

沙漠上的羚羊：天葬2

她喜歡沙漠的一望無際，更愛那孤獨的，神情渴望的羚羊。像他一樣。
這是一場沙漠的浪漫之旅。他說他在沙漠中，眼裡看的是美麗的日出，
心裡卻都是她的倩影....

他們半躺在沙發上，溫柔欣賞著一張張的幻燈片。
他們說這是一生中最難忘的野外的熱情纏綿了.....
距離西藏的天葬，已有七年半之久...

空中的禿鷹： 天葬1

她的第一直覺是對的。
看到那些干辛萬苦拍回來的照片，還有那篇文字，總覺得好熟悉的地方，好熟悉的情感； 不禁就這樣呆坐在 Notebook 前感動涰泣了起來。不知道是什麼力量讓她一張張點閱著風馬旗，空中盤旋的禿鷹，卻身體顫抖著流淚。 一個半小時之久，哭泣的回溯這一個前世似曾牽掛的情緣。
她內心絞痛著。她深層記憶裡知道，不要去踫它，不要去挑戰一個前世困難的卻未了的心願，她想逃避。 卻無法按奈寫上幾句感言的衝動。那就隱姓埋名吧，她想。郤不小心的無意識的填上了她的email, 將是她人生一大轉折。 她當時天真的未意識到，一個小螺絲的鬆動，將大大影響了一艘遊艇的安穩航行。
她的第一直覺是對的，但是她違抗了直覺。
她讀着來信，他句句真誠的想認識她。一個來自遠方另個世界的他。 另一個世界。一個真實的另一個世界。 她拒絕了用MSN, 後又無法抗拒的妥協；她多次拒絕了通話，後又軟弱的被說服了。 第一次他與她暢談了七小時的國際長途。。。 是她的疏於照顧自己的心。 一顆容易被鼓動的心，容易受傷害的心。 一顆逐漸打開心房卻更容易破碎的心。她沒有好好的呵護她自己的心。

他，像空中的禿鷹似的，擁有超人的敏銳度，與掠奪性！

Lady in Red ~~

at Murray Perahia's Concert

About Love! 世界上有 " 真愛 " 嗎?

在戀愛當中的測不準定律，激發了倆人相互能量的波動。有的人把顯影當作挑戰，有的人當作終結，有的人當作奬賞，生活的興奮劑。不過無論戀愛是在無限悸動中擴張，或在一次大地震中潰散，總是一個令人害怕的慾想及期待。
當兩條平行線在十一度空間裡相互影響，像戀人，像兩個世界的人在相互猜疑嫉妒背叛崇拜模仿羨慕ˉ...，很近很近的幻覺，郤是很遠很遠相互干擾的牽連。

這就叫作戀愛。

痛過的人才知真心的可貴，更不願全心付出，連續失敗的愛情會誏人越來越無情。所以訓練人堅強最好的藥方是，多多戀愛失敗幾次，就會明白，愛情不過是催眠自己，催眠對方的遊戲。在當下掏心的同時，必須信任，此人可能隨時背叛你，而你自己也一樣。凡人的戀愛，只有心動怨恨激情仰慕鄙棄，整天衡量比較競爭....輪輪迴迴，輾輾轉轉的在痛苦及快樂中輪迴!!
「真愛」只有在宗教的祟高下才存在！！

"真愛" 只在一個狀態下存在: 那就是，當你發現了自己原本的真心，當你的本覺心性與對方的本覺心性交融，同時存在於一個純然光明，無染無垢，無惡無善，更沒有開始結束的安住時，真愛才會存在!

"博士熱愛的算式": 軟弱的我們必須狠狠的在寒冷人生裡愛與忘卻!

在前天的讀書會裡看了一部很棒的日本電影：“博士熱愛的算式”，導讀人藍祖蔚老師說，如果你今年只看一部電影的話，那就選這部吧，因為這是部 “真善美” 的好片。


確實是很棒的電影，一個因車禍腦部受創，造成記憶只能維持 80 分鐘的數學博士，每天見到來服務的管家都像是初次見面，卻和管家、管家的小孩發展出像家人一樣相互照應的溫馨小品電影，由導演小泉堯史改編小川洋子原著小說拍成。看完後對藍老師用的 ”靜好“ 這個詞彙，深有同感，希望這兩天有辦法把更多心得整理成網誌跟朋友分享，也推薦大家有機會的話，去找 DVD 來看看。不過不要期待什麼“高潮迭起”的劇情，安靜的去享受每個鏡頭就好，然後思考一下，什麼是 “記憶”，什麼是 “遺忘”，什麼是 “質數”，什麼是 “友愛”，很有意思，聽說這是難得連原著小說作者都覺得改編的更好的一部電影唷。

藍老師在片後的演說中有提到黃友棣作的一首藝術歌曲：“遺忘”，還說 “高喊遺忘就是因為不能遺忘，真的忘了的人就不必再說要遺忘了“ By Pearl ~~

周华健-忘忧草!
Blessing Angel :
 我看完覺得"真善美"，也許只在沒有持續記憶的當下之中，在電影小說情節裡! 真實生活，想要達到這樣的境界，必須把每一個人當作質數，把世界當做完全數，然後，全然存在於費式公式裡! e ^^ + 1 = 0 。 空，無， 的境界!
軟弱的我們必須狠狠的在寒冷人生裡愛與忘卻!

At National Concert Hall in Taipei

The concert in Taipei on 10/9 was exciting, for the big number of performers and an ardent conductor. However, in my opinion, the chorus was not professional enough, where combined 2/3 of non professional choruses members, sounding unfocoused. And the balance amid orchestra , chorus and vocalists could be much better....

Mahler Symphony #8 ( Symphony of A Thousand ) Finale with Rattle

In honoring the 100 birthday of the Republic of China, and the 100 anniversary of the death of Gustavo Mahler, NSO gave a grand performance of the Symphony #8 in Taipei on 10/9/2011.

The work was composed in a single inspired burst, at Maiernigg in southern Austria in the summer of 1906. The last of Mahler's works that was premiered in his lifetime, the symphony was a critical and popular success when he conducted its first performance in Munich on 12 September 1910.

The structure of the work is unconventional; instead of the normal framework of several movements, the piece is in two parts. Part I is based on the Latin text of a 9th-century Christian hymn for Pentecost, Veni creator spiritus  ("Come, Creator Spirit"), and Part II is a setting of the words from the closing scene of Goethe's Faust.The two parts are unified by a common idea, that of redemption through the power of love, a unity conveyed through shared musical themes.

Mahler had been convinced from the start of the work's significance; in renouncing the pessimism that had marked much of his music, he offered the Eighth as an expression of confidence in the eternal human spirit.

Follow your heart by Steve Jobs

One of Job's most brilliant speeches:


“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
"Stay hungry, stay foolish!"
- Steve Jobs

1. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
擁有追隨自己內心與直覺的勇氣，你的內心與直覺多少已經知道你真正想要成為什麼樣的人。

2. Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
求知若飢，虛心若愚。

3. Much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.
追隨我的好奇與直覺，大部分我所投入過的事務，後來看來都成了無比珍貴的經歷。

4. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.
我確信我愛我所做的事情，這就是這些年來支持我繼續走下去的唯一理由。

5. If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.
把每一天都當成生命中的最後一天，你就會輕鬆自在。

6. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
提醒自己快死了，是我在人生中面臨重大決定時，所用過最重要的方法。因為幾乎每件事－所有外界期望、所有的名聲、所有對困窘或失敗的恐懼－在面對死亡時，都消失了，只有最真實重要的東西才會留下.

7. No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there.
沒有人想死。即使那些想上天堂的人，也想活著上天堂。

8. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
你們的時間有限，所以不要浪費時間活在別人的生活裡。

9. Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent.
死亡很可能就是生命中最偉大的發明，是生命交替的媒介。

10. The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products.
微軟唯一的問題是完全沒有品味。我不是指在小節上，而是大節上。即是他們沒有自己的創新意念，也沒有把他們自身的文化貫注入自己的產品中.

Let us pray for Steve Jobs: May he purify all his defilements, and attain enlightenment. And so does every one.
