If you have lost your memories ....?

倘若,

此時此刻，

你的記憶都喪失了，

你會不會深深的

愛上我？..........。。

Bach B Minor Mass

清晨快六點了，精神還是好好。。。
我想，人聲最美，也最催眠。。。
就讓巴哈莊嚴的彌賽亞，
帶我進入天堂。。。

Music is the purest and the most mysterious form of art that touches our heart.
As the profound choral sings in Bach's B minor Mass,
I am finding the pathway entering the gate of heaven....

Do not betray your own Soul !!!

千萬不要背叛自己的靈魂！

當妳走在冰冷的黑夜裡，

逺處魔火剎現，

引誘妳迷惑的心屝，

燃燒著無主的慾念。

跳入火焰吧，解脫吧。。。

不，長老說：

魔火野火亦非金鋼之火。

那只會加倍妳的
空寂背叛憤怒，
千萬，千千萬萬 

不要背叛自己的靈魂。

At Lawry's : Happy Father's Day !

At Lawry's Prime Rib Taipei :

10 Oz Vertical Thick Cut is the best choice with the accompanied of a bottle of a good French Red.
Although it is not a good year of harvest for red wine in Bordeaux,
Chateau Cos D' Estournel actually did not disappoint me.

Angel Rating 92 .  Parker Rating: 92
It has a dense Fruity fragrance of plum and blackcurrant.
Absolutely no acidity and tannin taste, although a bit bitter at times...
Delicate, smooth, but not a full body red...
It is  a wonderful young red wine with no pressure of pricing considering a prestigious brand name.

I Love its High Ceiling, grand decorated mirrors,  and Large Paintings in this Restaurant,where projects an English tradition classical noble atmosphere.
Desserts are not their specialties I would add, because it did not match the quality of its steak ....

金色筆記:

Reflecting in the City....

I love to live in the city....., but things do happen so closely to you around cities....

Jenny has interviewed many times in the past 2 months and was crestfallen when she found out that her best friend has obtained the position she always wanted. She was so credulous when her best friend Kate took a cursory look at her mailing list of her resume and said she would like to help. That is why Cynicism has become the attitude in metropolitan areas all over the world, provided no body should trust any body any more!!

I do not think I am a curmudgeon, since our neighbor's children were acting totally undisciplined and thunderous in the evening on their deck, which located adjacent to mine. Some parents cosset their children so much that, these spoiled kids never learn how to respect and on top of everything else, always act craven to any challenges. The earlier the intervention, the  more corrigible the condition; if these children were cozened in such parenting for too long, it will become very difficult to fix.

As a result, do you think residing in a crowded city as Taipei is a good idea, to train your mind becoming more aware and more compassionate ?

Is this why many practitioners hide themselves and become hermits for practicing purpose?

As I asked my self these questions, I concluded that as long as you have a stronger mind by practicing, you may be able to pamper these situations, only if ....

愛人，出於自動自願，

Looking out the Ocean from my Dream Garden...
愛人，出於自動自願，
健康，出於自動自願，
助人，出於自動自願，

凡事，只要有一點的不情願，
就會期待回報，
一定會痛苦.........

真愛, 當你想它時，你是快樂的。

慾望, 當你想它時，你是痛苦的。

Gourmet in Taipei : Naverland

I think this is the only good gourmet restaurant up in Tien Mu Area ....
When I first heard of this name, 
I immediately thought of the Never Never Land in Peter Pan.
Although the restaurant itself does not represent any bit of animation,
as soon as I stepped into its garden and bakery area, 
I can sense the fragrance of exoticism and delicacy ! 

人少少的，綠意挑高的大窗，
還有精緻美味的歐式料理，
獨家烘焙的麫包糕點；
很適合慵懶的午後，及
星月高掛的夜晚...

This is when Reincarnation Starts .....輪迴是這樣開始的：

本尊(諸佛菩薩)
(or God , added my Angel ) 
是你心識的一種顯現，
與你是否為佛教徒沒有關係。

你看見的友善祥和的眾生、
充滿敵意的眾生。
不要恐懼，
他們都是你心識的顯現。
不要害怕這些聲音，
它們都是你自己心識的聲音；
也不要害怕這些光芒，
它們都是你自己的光芒。

這個時刻（本尊顯現）就看著心，
不要作判斷。
當你一判斷，
你就是在判斷一個存在於外的東西；
當你一有二元分別的心，
這就是輪迴的開始。

Blossomed Lilly in an Hour .....

My Dream Garden ~~~~

Everything passed by so quickly that we never noticed it.

This afternoon I placed an un blossomed Lilly flower in the vase as an daily offering to Buddha and deities then went to take an afternoon summer shower. When I came back to pay respect to deities after one hour, the pinkish flower bud was not only burgeoning, but it was half blossomed already.

How amazing !!! Life and time travel so fast .....

Suddenly, I realize  this Lilly flower is truly alive and truly opening up in a short movement of time,  only that I did not notice the speed of it's growing within matters of seconds.....

As much I have been so touched, I am sending my appreciation and blessings to all sentient beings including my family, lover,  friends, strangers, and plants of nature! 

"The Show" from Moneyball

Kerris Dorsey singing "The Show",

I'm just a little bit
Caught in the middle
Life is a maze
And love is a riddle


I don't know where to go
Can't do it alone, I've tried
And I don't know why


I am just a little girl
Lost in the moment
I'm so scared
But I don't show it


I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show


'Cause it's too much
Yeah, it's a lot
To be something I'm not


I'm a fool, out of love
And I just can't get enough




I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show




You're such a loser, Dad
You're such a loser, Dad
You're such a loser, Dad


Just enjoy the show

A Movie: Color White Party

A Scene in a movie :
Going to  a Color White Party hosted by White Tara....


 I am touched by a love song shedding tears like Pearl dropping, as I walk down the ail to meet this secret person....
 There is a silver metal light shinning in my eyes from the strap of his watch reflects at my crystal necklace....
 At a table, there sits a crystal ball forecasting my dreams, which display heavenly music with snow and light...

Porcelain,  My face smiles like a porcelain doll, pure and shy...
Looking up at the sky there is a milky way gathered white cloud acting as a bridge to heaven....
The sun rises from the surface of water of lake moon, glittering platinum Light, so sacred  and powerful ...

 This light reflects white tara's pure nature of compassion emits into my heart making it translucent and shine....
I transform into model of purity as Virgin walking towards a white marble stair....
As soft as satin, I feel the air permeates with fragrance of white lotus....
 Meeting the secret one, smiling, heart to heart, hand to hand, lips to lips, becoming one as Perfection as the Emptiness in Love....

Laughter in Taipei

Laughter is the closest distance between two people.....
Sometimes, 
we never realize we are living in such amazing environment 
until one day .....

天籟難尋，知音稀少。。。。。。

---Goethe 

Night of the Full Moon

To live without love is not really live;
To love without share is not really love!

What is the best poetry to a serene nocturne ? 

Night of the Full Moon 

(From the West-Eastern Divan)

Lady, say, what do you whisper?

What so softly moves your lips?

To yourself you’re murmuring,

Sweeter than the wine in sips!

Would you think to those twin sisters

To summon up another twin?

          ‘I would kiss! Would kiss! I say.’

Look! In the uncertain eve

Every branch is glowing, flowering,

Star is shining down on star:

And a thousand gems are glowing

Emerald throughout the leaves:

Yet your spirit travels far.

          ‘I would kiss! Would kiss! I say.’

Your beloved, feels likewise

The bittersweet, far distant now,

Filled with a sad happiness.

You both swore a sacred vow,

To greet each other at the rise

Of the full moon, which it is.

          ‘I would kiss! Would kiss! I say.’

----Johan Wolgang von Goethe

Pina ( 2011 IMDb rated 7.6 )

Director: Wim Wenders Writer: Wim Wenders (screenplay)


Pina Bausch Brought out our sadness, joy, beauty, fear , pain and loneliness, which seem so alive in the 3 D movie theater. 
I like this documentary very much !!

Philippina "Pina" Bausch^[1] (27 July 1940 – 30 June 2009) was a German performer of modern dance, choreographer and ballet director. With her unique style, a blend of movements, sounds and prominent stage sets, and with her elaborate cooperation with performers during the composition of a piece (a style now known as Tanztheater), she became a leading influence since the 1970s in the world of modern dance.^[2]

The film presents extracts from some of the most noted dance pieces by Pina Bausch in the Tanztheater ("dance theater") style of which Bausch was a leading exponent. The extracts are from four pieces: Le sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring), Café Müller, Kontakthof, and Vollmond. These are complemented with interviews and further dance choreographies, which were shot in and around Wuppertal, Germany; the film includes scenes showing the Wuppertal Schwebebahn, an elevated railway, and some dances sequences take place inside its carriages.

In the first piece, Le sacre du printemps, (Frühlingsopfer, The Rite of Spring (1975)), the dancers of the Tanztheater Wuppertal, separated into male and female groups, move about a stage covered by a thick layer of peat.

The following section, Café Müller (1978), portrays a café Pina often visited when she was a child.^{[citation needed]} 

The next piece, Kontakthof, (Kontakt "contact" + Hof "court, courtyard", hence "contact court, courtyard of contact") was performed multiple times for Wenders' cameras, with groups of different generations: teenagers, middle-aged dancers, and dancers over 65 (Bausch had choreographed these three variants, as Kontakthof – Mit Teenagern ab 14 (2008), Kontakthof (1978), and Kontakthof – Mit Damen und Herren ab 65 (2000)). The film edits these performances into one, cutting between different performers to highlight their different abilities.

In the final piece, Vollmond, (2006) (Vollmond, "full moon") the stage is flooded. The scenery consists of one large rock and some chairs. At the end of the film, the actors face the audience on a small path with a brown coal mining region in the background to an open end.

A Birthday Prayer ...

親愛的
我們是活在夢幻世界的孩子
一個是白雪公主逃避著自己
有著一棵善良溫馴的心
但懷著艾莉絲夢遊仙境的雀躍
一個是白馬王子坐擁國度
有著一棵寬廣獨佔的心
但脆弱如他親手雕治的藝術

親愛的
無人島上你誕生了
天邊灑落一地的  彩虹
我們細細的數著
她那消逝的分分子子
像是侵蝕著ㄧ點一滴的 童心
一道又一道
不間斷的雨後的七彩

Happy Birthday !!

親愛的
我們愛上了滿天的星空
飛過山巒最閃耀的
可是你許下的願望
一個陪伴著你
保存很久很遠的願

親愛的
千里仰望愛上了滿滿的月
你可看見我許下的願望
永恆與快樂陪伴著你
脫離凡塵枷鎖的願

親愛的
廣大的宇宙的主宰
純潔的無自性的空性
觀音蓮師白度母普賢如來
我，你，我們的真實的意識

許我們一個永不消失的仙境世界
無牽無掛，無猜忌，無背叛，自然不造做的極樂世界
Happy Birthday!
