生日快樂

想象你遇上愛情忐忑的心跳
想象你抱著孩子幸福的微笑
想象你面對抉擇猶豫的表情
想象你強迫自己堅強的聲音
想象一滴一滴滑上你臉頰的眼淚

想象你疑惑了迷失了掙扎了疼痛了疲憊了放棄了

想象
你離開前的那一刻
曾經
想起我

爸爸,生日快樂。

生日快樂。

生日快樂,爸爸。
這些年來,都用不同的形式記著這一天。
今年,我許的願望是學會怎樣去愛。
那是你短短的一生未能學會的。
我會盡力為你實現這個願望。

Happy Birthday!

I don't know what's the point of doing this.
But this is the only thing I can do.

Happy Birthday!

Another year has passed so quickly. It's your birthday again.

As years went by, I understand your decisions more and more.
No, I never blame you. You're just a human after all.
And we all make the same "mistakes".

We are quite similar, in many ways,
Our weaknesses and strengths, our characters and thoughts,
It's in our genes. :)

If you were still around, I guess we could have become best friends.

I love you, Dad!
Happy Birthday!

I'm pleading

lost
I'd loved you. I still want to love you. I think I do...

I've asked you to find me. But you didn't. Or so I thought..

Now I think I need you. Do you still want me?



I've written you this weeks ago out of desperation.
Did you see it? Did you hear me?


"find me
love me
be with me
guide me
love me"



Have you given me up? Have you forsaken me?

Find me, would you, please?

From Vilnius

I've just arrived Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania.

I spent the last three days in Krakow, the old capital of Poland. Before that we were in Warsaw. I think Krakow has a more cultured atmosphere. The old buildings there are really "old" buildings instead of post-war reconstructions - not like the old town of Warsaw.

There was a big event going on while we were there, the 750th anniversary of the incoporation of Krakow. There were classical music concert in the square. An unbelievably huge crowd went. That'd never happen in Hong Kong. You know, some Hong Kong people would prefer listening to Twins.

People (CCC) said Krakow is more touristy. I don't care. I like Krakow.


P.S. We went to a chamber music concert in a huge cathedral. It was touristy.

P.P.S. I've sent out six postcards from Poland. I wrote more or less the same things written here. So for those who are expecting a postcard. Do NOT read this post.

P.P.P.S. Oh, you've read it already? Too bad...

愛是... (給CCC)


你是一隻大笨象
沉重但可愛

愛是一隻大笨象
沉重但可愛

愛是一隻大笨象
誰也無可替代

而對著一隻大笨象
無奈 卻沒法不愛

沉重但可愛

《大笨象》 林一峰


愛是一個決定?

「愛是一個決定。」

Daniel如是說。KWX如是說。

我曾經也這樣以為。
愛是決定。愛是付出。愛是受苦。
耶穌在世界的一生就表現了這樣的愛。

那時的我說:我要學像耶穌。
於是我每天去決定。

可惜...我不過是一個人...
我受不了苦...我放棄了...
我告訴自己:愛不可能是這樣的。
如果愛是這樣的,我承擔不了...
畢竟,我只是一個人...

然後,我對愛有了新的體會。

愛,其實可以很簡單直接。
只要做回自己,那就是愛了。
我發現愛裡竟然也有幸福,也有快樂。

但到了今天,我猶豫了...

我是找對了?還是想錯了?

究竟愛,到了最後,是不是只是一個決定?

An email

--------------------------------------------------
From: Scarlet Ma
Date: May 16, 2007
Subject: Re: Dear Darling...
To: Dorothy
--------------------------------------------------

Hey Darling

Just as I've discussed with Daniel, I believe there's a God. But why does it have to be the Christian God? That's the question!

I'm lost, because when I said I left Christianity, it means I've also left behind the whole way of life that religion tells me to live. Saying that I'm a Christian is a relatively easy way to know how to lead my life. I read the Bible, go to Church, and do what the Bible and the Church tells me to. The Bible and the Church people also tell me who I am, the reason why God created me, my purpose in life... And Church makes sure that you have someone to turn to when you are desperate. Christianity is the whole package. It's easy, much easier than to go through the painful process of finding out all the answers for yourself.

But I don't want to be lazy. I'd rather feel lost than simply accept what other people tell me. I don't want to tell myself every morning that I believe in Jesus Christ, just because I'm not that sure I do. In the past, when I was in Church, I rarely doubted if Jesus is the real God, and had rarely doubted if everything in the Bible were correct. When I did have doubts, I asked people at Church and they answered. Sometimes I didn't really think the answers made perfect sense, but I thought it was because I wasn't as spiritual as they were. I accepted their answers and when people asked me questions, I told them what other people told me, which were things I had never verified myself. That was wrong.

Someone said different religions provide many pathways to get closer to the same God, but at the same time, not any religion can "own" / "define" God because individual religions are limited. I'm not sure if it's totally true, but for now, it makes more sense to me than just accepting everything the Bible tells me.

So, I didn't say I'm not a Christian because I am no longer close to Christ. And it's not like I dont' believe in God anymore. I do believe in God. As I've said, maybe one day I'll become a Christian again. If that's the case, I'll become a better Christian. Or maybe I never will. Whether or not I do, I am taking a step forward, because I am trying to find the truth.

So no worries, I'll be fine.

By the way, I love your blue sky green tree pic! :)

Take care!

Your SS :P

Blue sky and green tree

I love you too!

From my darling little cousin, who is 13 days younger than me:


My darling, I miss you.

You may be lost, you may not understand, you may think life is a mystery. It can be tough but it is said, seek and you shall find. Things around you are exciting, people around you are always busy-busy-busy, and life is sometimes just too colorful. Don't rush, don't just go with the flow. Slow down, pay attention and appreciate the little things around you. Look at the sky, oh how blue, look at the trees, oh how green. All of creation, oh how great. When I do that, I find myself so in love...with the Creator.

My darling, I love you.


Thank you Dorothy! I love you too!

火車

Train going from Tai Wo to Fanling.
我是在火車的見證下長大的.

自一歲起,我家便從灣仔搬到上水火車站旁居住.那時的火車還是柴油火車,一小時才有一班.半年後,火車就全面電氣化了.

我家的窗子對著火車站,可以清楚看到每班來往的火車.我每天聽著火車聲,從不覺得吵耳,只是覺得親切.有時候工作至凌晨,第一班火車的聲音好像在鼓勵我,也像宣佈新的一天開始了!

中學時期,我的學校在大埔墟,每天都要坐二十分鐘的火車.我愛看沿途的風景.我通常都會坐在火車的右邊.往大埔墟看著東面,往上水看著西面,那就不會錯過途中的景色了.我常會沿路找尋上水往大埔的路徑,怎樣經過泳池,攀過小山丘,穿梭耕農的田寮,河邊的小公園.那時的我想,就算沒有火車,我也知道能怎麼步行回校.我雖然從未試過走過那可愛的小徑,但到了今天,我還是覺得在上水到大埔路途中的風景,是最美的.

在晴朗的日子,我愛看火車電纜的影子.隨著火車前進,電纜和陽光形成不同的角度.每條電纜影子的距離不斷改變,時而平行,時而交錯.影子投射在不同的平面上,在草原上,在碎石上,在混凝土上,或平地,或斜坡,形成不同的形狀.那千變萬化的組合,就像電纜每天也特意為我準備不同的表演.

但我最愛還是看下雨.百顆的水滴選順著火車的疾馳,向一樣的方向移動,留下痕跡,溜走,然後新的水滴又接連不斷.不同的水滴相遇又分開,過程中影響著彼此的路徑,像人生.我總會想像自己是當中的一顆,然後為著那水珠兒的遭遇感傷.

到了現在,我仍願意相信電纜影子和小水滴是有生命和靈魂的,他們仍舊在火車等著和我約會.

火車是我從小到大和外面世界接軌的唯一途徑.我特別喜歡坐在火車的頭尾卡.往九龍的第一卡,往上水的最尾卡.現在想來,這大概象徵著我是多麼嚮往向外闖,不愛回家.原來我自小就是一個野孩子了.

火車又是我探險的導引者,當我覺得鬱悶或迷失的時候,我總愛走上火車,然後在不熟悉的車站下車,在車站附近遊逛.陌生的環境總令我感到平靜,可以較容易地整理自己的思緒.火車像一個中介的角色,引領我到合適的地方,讓我重新整頓再出發.

從中一到現在,我差不多每天也要坐火車.除了看風景,看人,我也會看看書,聽音樂,寫小札記,畫畫畫.我很珍惜每天在火車上的時間,這是我和自己相處的時間,有點像每天的靈修.


(這是我普通話課的五分鐘講話,謝謝 謝老師!)
