love persevering

I still recall this scene from time to time.

Wanda: It's just like this wave washing over me again and again. It knocks me down and when I try to stand up, it just comes for me again. And I can't... It's gonna drown me.

Vision: No. No, It won't.

Wanda: How do you know?

Vision: Well, because it can't all be sorrow, can it? I've always been alone so I don't feel the lack. It's all I've ever known. I've never experienced loss because I've never had a loved one to lose. But what is grief, if not love persevering?

初雪傳説

1978年元月2日
那年元旦從台北騎摩托車載女朋友上合歡山看雪，只因為她說她從沒看過雪。
第二天幸運的遇上元旦夜剛下的雪，是那個冬天的第一場大雪。
傳說如果一對戀人遇到那年的初雪，他們將永遠在一起。（韓國）
2023年元月3日
經過了45年又一天，阿公阿嬤再次的上了武嶺，來印證這個初雪傳說。拍照時間同樣在中午一點鐘。
註：當年拍照的山坡還沒闢建為停車場，也還沒有觀景台。

Chasing...

A very strong feeling coming out from the melody of Cornfield Chasing by Hans Zimmer. The tunes actually play throughout the film but I only relate to the ending scene. Throughout the years I've almost given up the waiting for her coming together with me. I was like Brand looking for something that might never happen. Even now my beloved child has been my company. I can't help stop crying when this melody to my ear and the picture script to my eyes.....

 

只恐雙溪舴艋舟

You fill me up till you're empty
I took too much and you let me
We've been down all these roads before
And what we found don't live there anymore

#earthday 2021

又到了地球日，各種地球美景呈現在手機上，海洋樹林等等的音樂直接收集到面前，人們彷彿不用出門就可以接觸到各種大自然了....

我以為宅，還好啊，可能就內向... 之類的... 事實並不是如此，年輕人的宅，是真的沒有接觸大自然，搞不清楚打獵與釣魚不只是為了興趣；搞不懂什麼叫生態平衡，以為庭院花園跟水族箱都跟打電動一樣；更搞不懂大自然不只是山跟水跟動物跟植物，還包括了噁心的昆蟲、微生物、病毒...

真的現在年輕人才如此嗎？其實不是，是我心胸變狹窄了，身邊同儕沒接觸大自然的，當年就已經一狗票，我以為大家都跟自己一樣，對於露營健行登山等活動，都是含蓄地不張揚罷了。只不過現在年輕人更有一個熟悉的虛擬世界支撐，不，不只一個，看電影不用出門、吃飯不用出門、健身運動不用出門... 老天最公平的一天 24 小時，可以任由他們徜徉其中，地球日說不定就只剩下一個 hashtag...

 

最後，就只能點歌了，老師，音樂請下：

Big Yellow Taxi - Joni Mitchell

[轉貼] 在盛怒下讓國民黨下架以後呢？

我常常跟朋友提一個故事，當年剛畢業出社會，我第一個工作就是跟對岸的幾間中型公司合作（它們現在已經超大），屢次跟各個客戶群開會，跟我握手的，從經理、資深經理到副總，年紀竟然都跟我差不多大，私底下真的有點嚇得漏尿。當時還認為自己是剛出社會的小毛頭，但是對岸的社會結構，已經是讓跟我年紀一樣的年輕人帶領蝦兵蟹將往前衝了。

今天再翻到多年前看過的文章，台灣高傲的狀態依舊沒變，多了川貴人一手撐起的仇中保護傘與戴上白內障眼鏡，我預估，多年後大陸的生醫產業，就跟當年的電子業一模一樣，且最後必須用不要臉的手段制裁，不然，你想擋也擋不住。

Four Notes Paul's Tune

80歲英國老翁保羅，透過兒子給他的四個音階，即興演奏出一段美麗的旋律.... Beautifuuuuuullllll....

Dad’s ability to improvise and compose beautiful melodies on the fly has always amazed me.

Tonight, I gave him four random notes as a starting point.

Although his dementia is getting worse, moments like this bring him back to me. pic.twitter.com/dBInVCTmfF

Paul Harvey 去年被診斷患有失智症，這段即興演奏獲得廣大的點閱率，隨後在國際失智症日的活動中播出，最後英國BBC 愛樂管絃樂團邀請並錄製成單曲，一路衝上蘋果與亞馬遜的排行榜。

該曲的收益將分給英國阿茲海默症協會與Music for Dementia組織

無題

我其實覺得 Big Fish 的整個情節並沒有那麼好看，因為很多情節闡述太過明白，尤其真實女巫 Jenny 與病房醫師所做的解釋，讓最後葬禮的驚喜感大為降低，全劇也因此少了許多想像的空間。 

回顧自己這幾年的人生，七年了吧？我似乎是試著把它冷凍起來，按下暫停鍵，等著我心愛的人回到身邊，好讓我繼續暫停的時間。至於，到底會等到什麼，我自己也似乎也不清楚...

Curiosity out of Antique

Coming across this video, I'm really intrigued by this curator, Dr. Irving Finkel. He is definitely a poker-faced comedian. He also reminds me of my experiences when taking young friends to Exploratorium at San Francisco. Some youth didn't feel quite attracted and some totally indulged in all facilities. For me, there are million of stories, science and knowledge behind those seemingly big toys. Why can't some youths feel the fun out of them while also complaining how boring of their textbooks? I might actually know the answer. Video games nowadays are like drugs dominating their sensations.

無意間被這位館長 Irving Finkel 博士的影片所吸引，他絕對是個冷面笑匠。不過他也讓我想起帶年輕朋友去舊金山探索博物館的記憶，有些孩子非常盡興，有些則意興闌珊。對我來說，那些看似玩具的背後有數不盡的故事與科學知識，為何年輕朋友抱怨教科書無聊，卻也不能被這些器材激發興趣？我猜，或許是電動已經把他們的感官給麻痺了。

amnesia

Gattaca in 1997. I almost forgot this is one of my favorite movies since youth.

And I almost forgot the dreams I held back then.
