难得的机会,和爸共进晚餐,才发现他苍老了这么多,心脏功能仅剩常人一半的他,还是固执地东奔西跑,片刻不让自己停下来,但他再怎么装,也遮掩不了一脸倦容。记忆力衰退,就是岁月留下的烙印,我突然觉得,让他一个人出门,可能已经不是一件我可以完全放心的事。当然,这一切只是看在眼里,不动声色,若无其事,是保护他的尊严最好的方式。其实,在好几年前,我就已经认同生命的素质比其长短更为重要,所以对于他的生活只是静观其变,只要他开心就好;现在,或许我应该重新拉近彼此的距离,才能在必要时扶他一把。
曾经对一篇文章的一段话,影响深刻--“打从你认识了某人的那一天起,虽然你们可能常聚在一起,但你就不曾再仔细地观察他,而你对他的印象,始终停留在你刚认识他的样子”,每天费心把观察力都用在工作上,已经多久没仔细看看,默默老化的父母?没错,他们总是默默的,默默为你操心,因为害怕你会嫌他们唠叨;默默地承受逐渐模糊的视线,残留的听觉,衰退的记忆,还要刻意伪装,因为不想给你添麻烦,让你担心;偶尔默默地期盼能听见你的消息,却得忍受你不耐烦的语气。。。谁说这不是前世欠下的债?父母的爱与子女的回馈,永远不可能成正比。
人在成年成家以后,必须同时扮演多种角色,或许你的各种责任,已让你分身乏术,或许因为他们的沉默,让你忘了他们的存在,或许你曾想过,却一直用“有空再说”,敷衍了事,或许你可以选择继续自欺欺人,但有些机会,若不及时把握,只会转化成遗憾,永远不能复原的伤。切勿辜负了那耗尽了一辈子默默守候你的人。。。

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. ~Ambrose Redmoon
"这一路走来 说不上多辛苦,
庆幸心里很清楚
是因为还有那么一点在乎
才执着这段旅途
这一路走来 还忍得住孤独
一个人聊胜于无
在滚滚浊世 绝不把梦交出
尽管过程多残酷"
这是最近喜欢的一首歌曲,主要原因是它特别贴近近期的心情。在重大的挑战面前,更需要坚定与决心。既然最初选择了这段旅途,就不能在未尽全力前畏缩。我承认,我是有压力的,时间紧凑,须要完成的似乎是"不可能的任务",但逃避不能解决问题,一再质疑自己,也于事无补。所以我决定,管他们爱怎么看、怎么想,时间可以证明一切,而全心应战,是我现在必须做的事,不是要向任何人证明些什么,只是不想放弃最初的那份执着。

这世上有些事,不能等。。。
After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, “I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and ...
would love to spend some time with you.”
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally
. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. “What’s wrong, are you well?” she asked.
My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. “I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,” I responded. “Just the two of us.” She thought about it for a moment, and then said, “I would like that very much.”
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel’s. “I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed, “she said, as she got into the car. “They can’t wait to hear about our meeting.”
We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. “It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said. “Then it’s time that you relax and let me return the favor,” I responded. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation – nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.

“How was your dinner date?” asked my wife when I got home. “Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined,” I answered.
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said: “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates – one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.”
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: “I LOVE YOU” and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till “some other time.”

再穿上继续流浪的鞋
不想再用消极与悲观,来面对眼前的定局。听到消息后,一直难以置信,刚开始当然是兴奋的,但一想到即将面对的种种压力和挑战,心里明白,这象征着另一个起点。过分安逸的日子,让人丧失斗志,或许在我交上表格的那一刻,其中一个用意,就是想转换环境,迎向新挑战。人总是犯贱的,瞻前顾后,畏首畏尾,唯一的方法,就是破釜沉舟,逼自己绝处逢生。前阵子才和朋友说,我总处于必须去证明自己能力的环境,我会很努力去做好自己。既然冥冥中似乎已有安排,我相信这一趟出征,是必经的磨练,我不敢确定结果,但既然这是一个机会,就该好好把握。出发了,不破楼兰终不还,是我对自己的承诺。

走过的时光 就像一本书
每一步路途 都写着感悟
来不及回顾细细阅读
下一章就催促我上路
夜深人静后常常很想哭
所有的往事都呼之欲出
其实我心中好想倾诉
只是我不擅让心事流露
不停的追逐 那光荣与财富 多虚无
却忽略 最贴心的眷顾
不停的付出 赢得了全部
都不如 那拥抱的温度
我像个观众看自己的演出
随剧情追溯消失的感触
灯火阑珊处我已知足
世界在荒芜我还有一棵树
回首来时路 我真的很在乎 这一路
错过的 和收获的幸福
眼泪有多咸 笑容的背后 多苦
好想说 我真的很在乎
只剩一个人 宿醉的孤独 多无助
就仿佛 一场梦要落幕
最爱我的人 你们都身在 何处
好想说 我真的很在乎
好想说 我真的很在乎

逃避➡否认➡接受➡义无反顾
如果要等准备好,才去做某一件事,那这件事,就永远只是个计划,因为,我永远也不会觉得自己已做好准备。再怎么说,这都是一个机会,一个我应该好好把握的机会。朋友总说,我总能展现得热诚与乐观,可我觉得自己总先看见事情的负面,或许是因为,他们接触我的时候,总是在我认命与沉淀之后,反正悲观也改变不了什么,为何不试着往好一方面想?
说到认命,一切似乎冥冥中早有安排,我不知道,在前方等着我的会是一个怎样的结局,这绝对不会是一条易走的路,对任何人都一样,但人是须要迎向挑战,才能超越自己。所以我决定要离开自己的舒适圈,不再躲避。要助人,就不能害怕困难,相信只要方向正确了,就一定可以走到终点。

刚看完一部港剧--《心路gps》,想记录自己的心情,作为一种警惕。故事大概是说一个主妇,因为丧偶,变得忧郁,染上了赌博的恶习,再变成一个病态赌徒。这过程中,她的子女由抛弃她,到后来为了贪图她丈夫的遗产,回来向她示好,许多看了让人心寒的情节。偶尔难免会感叹说,子女怎能如此不孝,岂知和我一同观赏的妹妹,竟然说:“这社会本来就是如此”,好像这种价值观原本就该存在。这社会到底是怎么了?大家都在演戏,带着面具面对别人,不会感觉疲惫吗?子女奉养父母,难道不是应该的吗?但我觉得,这故事的主角做得最错的一件事,就是太早变卖遗产去分配给她的子女,一旦失去了利用价值,人现实的本性就无需再被掩饰,那时你将面对的只会是更丑陋的人性!有些事别追根究底,如果你无法确定自己是否承受得起那最终的真相。逼迫别人扯下面具,往往只会伤了感情,苦了自己。人情味与真性情,在现今的社会里,是需要多少努力才能捍卫与坚守啊?

清明时节
又快清明了,很多人都和往年一样忙着筹备祭拜已故亲人的事,纸制祭品的种类也越来越多样化。这日子,在家庭背景、成长环境、社会价值观种种因素的影响下,它存在的意义也因人而异。看着长辈们,在纸扎店铺里左挑右选,让人不禁想问,他们买的究竟是那些已逝亲人真的会收到的“物品”,还是一份慰籍,好安抚自己对逝者的思念或亏欠?无论如何,这一直被传承的习俗,也没必要被改变,只是如果能把烧祭品转成为逝者行善积德,会否更有意义?同样是思亲,同样想弥补、追溯些什么,只是换个方式......当然几千年的文化,岂能说改就改?这也不过是突然萌起的念头,我还是尊重这节日,也还是会记得它的精神,但从现在起,想用自己的方式去悼念逝去的亲人,愿他们能离苦得乐。

蘇打綠 sodagreen - 【小時候】MV 官方完整版
记得朋友曾取笑我,与爸聊天,像和情人说话一样轻声细语,也不知从何时开始,我们的距离被拉开,对彼此的关爱总用责备包装着,我再也不是那个聆听他心事的忠实听众。
我忘了问,什么样的倔强,让我们不说一句真心话?我忘了说,心里面的愿望,始终需要你的肯定啊...
这首歌,一字一句,唱得我不能释怀...

突发奇想
人是不是总在某个年龄的关卡,就会想做一些奇怪的事?或许与年龄无关,只是时候到了,就想去完成一些想做却一直没办法做的事。我无法否认这想法对于现阶段的“我”,在旁人的眼中,会是多荒唐的一个决定。它,如果真的发生了,肯定将改写我的一切。结果是好是坏,我不敢确定,但还未尝试就先放弃,绝对不是我的作风。至少试过了,真的不行,才会甘心。它原本只是一个想法,演变成构想,现在我想把它更具体化一些。把它说出来,引起一片反对的声浪--我是不是疯了???或许是吧,不敢祈求别人的谅解,因为一开始有这想法时,我也是这么认为。其实大家反对的原因,只是因为我想放弃既有的安稳,去追寻一个未知数。人生,不就是要不停地探索吗?一直以来,我总是很理智地去做自己应该做的,别人想要我做的事,“做好了,就能去做自己想做的事”,但我发现,这好像一个无底洞,根本不能被填满。重点是,我快乐了吗?很多因素纠结在一起,别人反对是有他们的道理,这想法直到今天,还只是个想法,有时对于自己的理智与拘谨,还真的觉得懊恼,但是我隐隐觉得自己有一份固执,想提前完成这计划。鱼与熊掌,不可兼得,舍弃任何一方前,得再仔细斟酌斟酌。。。

祈福
假期被冻结,医院传来有些手术室关闭,病人可能被迁移的消息...不在瓜丁的这几天,怎么出了那么多状况?这狂风暴雨若真的来袭,我们又该逃往何方?很想叫家人先离开几天,可是他们一定不会愿意,生意、产业,他们的一生都在这土地上根深蒂固,能走的不愿走,只能祈求上天垂怜,别让最坏的状况发生。我国公民因总是活在过于安逸的环境中,缺乏危机意识,有关当局发出警讯,大家的反应都是:真的会那么严重吗?若真的那么严重,才开始惊慌失措。我希望自己是杞人忧天,当然,若有天灾人祸,职责所在,必须留守阵营,只是那些没有任何责任留下的人呵,叫你撤离,就别再那么固执了,好吗?
