Ricordanza ....



This is My Favorite Liszt,  "Ricodanza", " (Memory) ", by Cziffra !

It is not a journey...; journey ends, 
but we go on...
The world turns and we turn with it.

Plan disappear; dreams take over.
Wherever I go, there you are.
My Luck,
My Fortune,
My Fate ...

My Precious Love...
Inevitable....!!


-----Brad Pitt

How to stay together forever?

There are many reasons to break off a relationship, 
but absolutely need no reason to fall in love and stay together.

《飲食男女》.....


Having Cold and Fever for the weekend feeling weak and staying home resting .....!

看到這句話很喜歡:
「 人生不能像做菜,把所有的料都准備好了才下鍋。」—《飲食男女》李安。
凡事等到100%篤定才出手,那麼可能一輩子都出不了手。

Woody Allan 2 : Midnight in Paris

"Midnight In Paris "


Let's Fall in Love....

Featured in science fictional style, this film was shoot in Paris, the most romantic and avant-garde city in the world.  Not only did the director reveal our misconception for understanding of our own genre not being the golden age, but he also seemingly employed the essential elements of falling in love.


Beside the elements of hormones and chemistry,  this true love should  make you feel " fearless of death".


As usual, Woody Allan mocked these so called scholars and experts in our time, by comparing them to the great masters and artists from an earlier  generation in 1920's. Almost every well known master from 20's was present on screen, including Scott Fitzgerald, Earnest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, Dali, Mattise and more.


This is an interesting,  eye-catching and meaningful film which needs a full concentration to watch. Rarely have I seen such a wonderful film touching deeply but natrually on the subject of both art and love. As a result, I have viewed this film twice this weekend. :)


"We all fear death and question our place in the universe.

The Artist's job is not to succumb to despair,
but to find an antidote for the emptiness of existence! " --Gertrude Stein

Special and Only ....

Why are you so special on Earth to me?
Because I have tamed you...
Tame means establishing ties.
Establish Friendship, and Love Relationship.
I have spent my time to be with you,
I have been so good and gentle to you,
like a ritual , like my responsibility...
And you are my only and my special treasure,
only because I have tamed you!

Let me tell you my Secrete :
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye."
在這世界上,為什麼對於我,你是如此的特別?
因為我馴服了你。
馴服的意思是就是   "建立關係"
我願意付出時間與你,我願意對你產生責任感,
我對你付出了溫柔與關愛,
這樣我們建立了朋友關係,或是戀人的關係。
你與這世界上的其他人有何太大的不同呢?
對於我,你是唯一的,你是特別的,
都是因為這個原因: 我馴服了你。

偷偷告訴你我的秘密:
"只有用<心>去看,才能看的到真實的東西;
因為,真正重要的,眼睛是看不到的!!"

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.

金色筆記

Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.--- Douglus MacAuthor

‎''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.''--- Steve Jobs


Sadly I admit that sometimes, I feel like 100 years old....
Scary as I realized it.
But I am fortounate enough to have an opportunity to touch my inner most soul in my meditation session . I have touched the truth of emptiness, the core concept of impermanence and the truth of ever lasting consciousness. I realize that of course I am feeling 100 years old, because I have been living in the universe for thousand years already....

Nevertheless, everybody has !

As a result, How to differenciate real young and real old?
Having faith vs. Being Skeptical, embracing new concepts vs. Clinging Outdated traditions, feeling innovatively optimistic vs. Sensing hopeless Depression, to love one another vs. To emancipate from the society.

However, the difference between being reckless and courageous is the question.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. --- Robert Lee Frost

Listen to your Heart ...

"I think of this as my parking space theory of career choice, and I have been sharing it with students for decades. Don't park 20 blocks from your destination because you think you'll never find a space. Go where you want to be and then circle back to where you have to be."

Always be brave enough to take risk, to make endeavour to what you love, and to love the one you truly adore !!

See from your heart ....

If what you see by the eye doesn't please you,
 then close your eyes and see from the heart.
Because ...
the heart can see beauty and love
more than the eyes can ever wonder.

金色筆記 25: It was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness。

Photo by W. S.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way— in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

---Charles Dickens

Ways of Seeing 4 : 廣告是一種政治現象。。。

他說,政治是種廣告手法.....

每人每天身邊充斥著上百個廣告,廣告是一個資產主義下的魔物。
"廣告操弄的是焦慮! 是一種恐懼,一種倘若你一無所有就成為一無所是的恐懼。"


廣告,不斷的提醒你,你的身邊一直在追趕著你的虛榮,你如何才能擁有更好的生活,更高尚的地位,更顯耀的魅力。對於男人,是能力,是財富,是權利;對於女人,是誘惑力,是美貌,是安定感。


大家以為,二十一世紀的世代改變了,是男女平等的時代? 事實上,自廣告來評判,現代的宣傳品與一百年前的潛在觀念,還是相差不遠....


對於媒體上的廣告,Mind Dancer 常拿來當"超級娛樂" 的工具! 因為實在是太過操弄......不過,偶爾不小心也會上當呢.....

Ways of Seeing 3 : How do I see you....

九月份書目: 觀看的方式:
當我們觀看時,我們秉持著一種想法,一種態度。這不是單純的語言能夠表達的深度。 這包含著心中的偏見,醞釀的情感,世俗的觀念,以及觀看者(作畫者)欲想賦予的表現方式。
油畫的發展,不只是技術,自文藝復興始,是最精確表達財富的一種發明,包括油畫中美麗的女人,尤其是裸體的女性,更是其炫燿權力及財富的方式。希臘神話裡的女神一直都是畫家心目中完美女性的形象,撫媚嬌態毫無掩飾的誘惑。對於西洋油畫,我們時常都賦予太過神聖的評價! 不過在1900年之後,攝影的發明,改變了油畫的功用。 本書,打破傳統的看法,讓畫家與畫中的人物活生生的呈現。 即使是聖經裡的聖母,表現的是慈祥母親的形象,卻也不是那樣的高不可攀。
品味與眼睛的訓練又何嘗不是如此? 我們的眼睛不斷的在知識薰陶下改變其檢視人事物的方式!

John Berger 是英國當代最具影響力的藝術批評家。寫作風格充滿時代感,以其敏銳的觀察及對影像特有的解讀能力,寫出了兩本讓你知道什麼是「看」?怎樣「看」的名著:一本是配合英國國家廣播公司電視節目寫成的《藝術觀賞之道》(Way of Seeing);另一本則是《影像的閱讀》(About Looking)。這兩本書所討論的,雖然是以繪畫和攝影為主,其涵蓋面卻包括廣告、新聞、文學、電影、電視等,眼光擴及「視覺與文化」的關連性。 以下:::

*觀看先於言語。孩童先會觀看和辨識,接著才會說話....
*我們用言語解釋這個世界,但言語永遠無法還原這個事實:世界包圍著我們。我們看到的世界和我們知道的世界,兩者間的關係從未確定...
*陷入愛河之際,戀人的目光就是一切,再多的言語和擁抱,都比不上戀人的凝視...

*注視是一種選擇行為。...我們注視的從來不只是事物本身;我們注視的永遠是事物與我們之間的關係。
*每個影像都具現了一種觀看,我們對影像的感受和欣賞,同樣也取決於我們自己的觀看方式!

Chianti ....






Chianti , at Da-An Road, Taipei, a boutique, unique and romantic Italian restaurant!
Sitting in there, I can quietly watch all the pedestrians lobbying passing by the Taipei city, which is a transcendental experience. I see all kinds of people, relationships, and fashion styles. The stake was so so, not enough service people. (Score :79.5)
Chianti, Tuscany, a beautiful site in Italy.
If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else.—Marvin Gaye
