Christmas Tree

聖誕樹前曾經許下的心願 是不是已經實現?

Thanksgiving*


在這感恩節裡,收到朋友從遠方寄來的一份好漂亮的生日禮物,夾著的小卡片簡單的只寫著4個字「願妳幸福」。只默默在心裡唸著,淚都已湧出來了。很感動很感動。謝謝總把我掛在心上的朋友。

每年到了這個時候總會想,我不過是這俗世眾生裡一個微小平凡的女子,緣何會得到朋友這樣大量的愛和關心呢?也總是想不出個所以來。我繼續相信那全都是我的幸運。為此,每天早晨朦朦朧朧看見窗外透光時,我像也看見守護天使的微笑,心裡盡是感恩。

去年生日,在不同的場合裡,我吃了7次生日蛋糕,收到各式各樣的禮物,這許多的心意、祝福都讓我很快樂很快樂很快樂。當快樂和感謝從心裡溢瀉的時候,我想著,這些熱暖著我的愛,能不能也傳送到這世間許多抵著冷的人們身上?

今年,我狂妄的想提出這個要求,懇請朋友別給我買蛋糕送禮物了。能不能折現捐到慈善團體,將祝福送給有需要的人?也許一份禮物的錢並不能做到些甚麼大事,但至少能讓一個生於貧窮家庭的兒童歡歡喜喜地買份禮物去參加學校聖誕派對裡的「交換禮物」吧?我並不想要用這些錢去成就甚麼大事,我只想把這點點滴滴的愛和祝福灑出去,跟這世間裡和我一樣的人分享。

好嗎?

"This isn't really going to be your last show, is it?"

"The Company"

One of my favourite directors, Robert Altman (1925 - 2006) dies of complications from cancer, today. He was 5 times nominated for the Oscar Best Director, and was given a Lifetime Achievement Award March this year.

I like "A Prairie Home Companion", I like "The Player", I like "Gosford Park"...and I especially love "The Company". It is about the world of dance. A life in ballet is very demanding - the practices, the exams, the rehearsals, the performances - everything is challenging, exhausting... and, painful. Altman revealed these slices and tastes of life through the ups and downs of the ballerinas in the film. And he showed his skills in mastering a large group of professional performers which he managed to make everyone shine within the 120 mins. The film is really beautiful with the 10 ballets shot. And Neve Campbell, who acted as the prima ballerina-to-be in the film, are alluring and enchanting under Altman's camera. This is so far the best ballet film (drama) I would say.

From the reports, got this quote of Altman,

"The business is run by accountants who, as long as a film makes $40bn, don't care if it kills the industry. Everything can also be shown so quickly in the home - which means that the people who go to movie theaters are teenagers who just want to get away from home. The audience has changed and the content has changed to suit that audience. But, even if I'll be an outdated item very shortly, I intend to carry on as long as I can."

Thanks Altlman, for making all those great films.


"Every show is your last show. That's my philosophy."

(Garrison Keillor in "A Prairie Home Companion")

好嘈。
不停地嘮嘮叨叨,
彷彿要叫這世上每一個人都專心聆聽他的嚕囌。

以前唸書,我記得老師說過,
社會上的每個人都有屬於自己的一個空間圈圈,
不過,在人與人之間的這些圈圈互相重疊著,
所以我們要學習互相尊重、體諒。

人漸漸長大,是不是就會忘記了尊重和體諒?
空間越來越少了,環境亦越來越擠逼,
又越來越多人隨意就踐踏進人家的圈圈,
隨意吵鬧擾攘。

那個人一直在鬧,
聲浪震動著我的耳窩,一直傳到腦裡,
我頭的右後方有點痛,一個字也想不出來。
只想要離開這個地方。


這個世界越來越多嘈雜的叫囂,
卻越來越少人願意側耳聆聽心靈的呼喊,
於是,人越叫越大聲,
終於力竭聲嘶。

沿路風光 沒心機細看


從廣西回來,才剛剛好一個月,感覺上卻像是過了很久。相熟的同事另謀發展,中學的姊妹嫁人搬家,好朋友調職北上,大學同窗回流返港……一下子身處的環境不斷急速地變遷,我忽爾察覺到自己的靜止。

事多人煩,也不知是周圍的混亂影響了我,抑是心底裡實有所疑懼,又或是身體過累精神不佳,這陣子纏繞心頭盡是不安。

也不懂得怎樣去說清那份感覺。


那天一個人留在公司裡,看著太陽在窗外山後昇上,我默算著每一秒的流逝。處於這個瞬息萬變的世界,如果眼睛沒能把握那一刻鐘去把沿路的風景攝進腦海,過後怎樣出力亦追不回了。

時間是那樣的有限卻無限。一個月前我想去的地方至今還未去,想買的東西依然on the list,想看的電影已經落畫,想做的事情還未做到。

我想把所有的想想想放進一部過瀘器,把當中的精粹搾出,免卻那一重選擇所帶來無可避免的煩惱。我害怕選擇。任何的選擇,幾乎都會讓人有所遺憾的。我只想沿著單程路一直走,一直走,去找路上最美麗的風光。

然而,哪一片才是我最想看到的風光?我還未找到答案。

不過,我有點睏了,還是先去好好睡一場。

明天,又是新一天了。


也有一點自欺 我有些東西不急於找到
