鼓盆而喵的可能
「我也想起辛波斯卡寫過一首詩歌誦死去的甲蟲。長期以來,我們對於死亡這件事總是習慣性地感到哀傷,但是否應該再想一想,死亡真有那麼可怕嗎?事實上,我們怎能知道活著比死去好呢?如果每一隻貓或者人死去,我們都要如此悲痛,難道,我們認為他們活得不夠好?所以要為他們傷心?我們有資格為其他的生命傷心嗎?與其要為死去的生命傷心,還不如為那些活著而毫無廉恥的人類傷心吧!或者為自己軟弱的心智傷心吧!」
阿里山,日出有大美
莊子說:「天地有大美而不言。」
意指天地與人世間存在著無以言表的美麗、美好與美妙,
但天地始終沉默無言,並不張揚。
透過詩歌、言語,我們將其描繪出來,因而有藝術之美,
但我相信無論如何都不及親眼所見。

As Morpheus would say:
There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.Your first sprints will probably fail. Ours did. But you have to keep going.

A Day is a Tourist, A Year is a Traveler
『A day is a step, a year is a tango. A day is a tourist, a year is a traveler. A day is a chance encounter, a year says love. A day is frustration, a year is a melody. A day is a lump of clay, a year is whatever you want it to be. A day is a thought, a year is a philosophy. Every year counts. Glenfiddich.』-Glenfiddich〈Every Year Counts〉TVC

Love is not looking at each other

keep your heart
"Keep your heart free from hate, your mind free from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. It’s the way to happiness. Try this for a week and you will be surprised." -- H.C. Mattern
love & fear
"Deep down, at our core, there are only two emotions: love and fear. All positive emotions come from love, all negative emotions from fear. From love flows happiness, contentment, peace, and joy. From fear comes anger, hate, anxiety, and guilt." - David Kessler
