Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep, by Mary Frye

Came across such a poem from Giap's site, that I fall in love with.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

by Mary Elizabeth Frye, 1932


请不要在我坟前哭泣
我并不在那里 也没睡着了

我已化作千缕微风
如钻石闪亮的白雪
催促谷粮成熟的阳光
也已化作温柔的秋雨

当你在谧谧清晨里苏醒
我是仓促中盘向高空
默然划出一道弧线的飞鸟
我是夜幕里守护的星烁

请不要在我坟前哭泣
我并不在那里 也未曾死去

喵喵......

慷懒?戒备?

撒娇?武装?

找找。。。在哪里?

忽然拼图里的小块块不见了好几处。
找找,沙发缝里吗?
在哪里,地毯下面呢?
找找,暗床角里吗?
在哪里,枕头底下呢?
找找,风吹到窗外去了吗?
在哪里,鸟儿叼上屋顶去了吗?
找找,雨冲到阴沟里了吗?
在哪里,鱼儿耍弄到河里了吗?
找找。。。在哪里?

你离开我的时候带走了一小块。
你们离开我的时候带走了多少块我没算着。
我就是没能把日子拼好。

少了什么?轻声细语。
少了什么?温暖拥抱。
少了什么?你有看到我吗?

***

看完几米《遗失了一只猫 Missing My Cat》后,竟然失眠了,脑子里一直想起离开我的你和你和我。因为几米在最后写了这么一段,我才没有坠落到无底去 --
“她在半梦半醒间,听到门外响起熟悉的脚步声,和一声她思念已久的呼唤:喵... ...”

***

原来,真的在沙发缝里、地毯下、床角、枕头底呢!
还好,就在窗外、就在屋顶上!
还躲吗?从沟渠里从河里出来晒太阳咯!

《失樂園》,幾米

一个个孩子们的故事。我原本想一天看一个故事,细细嘴噘,应该会有更好滋味!一不小心,咕噜地全吞进去了--《失樂園 I 寂寞上场了》。《失乐园 II童年下雪了》,也一样“咕噜”一声的,你看到啦,没有啦!定力很不好。

我一直在想到底失去了的快乐,在那里呢?没能好好体会。后来,上了Jimmy Spa,看了书介,才发现原来只要换一个角度就能看到故事的美丽了!

“ 如果我們安靜傾聽,就可以感受到失樂園裡溫柔的光,看到彩虹以微笑的姿勢出現。”

失樂園 I 寂寞上场了

幸福的恐惧

看几米的《失乐园》,始终不解到底失去了怎样的快乐?彩色缤纷的插画和小孩子们的故事,字里行间的不快乐因素在哪?在读者心?



今天早上去游泳,好好的慰劳自己一番。早餐有煎蛋、腊肠、西芹菜、越南米纸、奇异果、香蕉和鸡屎果。还不错。

实在是太多衣服要洗了,房间又要收拾。一会儿去了半天。

《9/11: Calls from the Towers》。忽然好想家。

恨不得能飞回家。我爱你!

又在收拾行李了,想到要搭十四个小时的飞机,好累人哪!是什么时候开始的事了,就是好厌倦这样的行程,匆匆忙忙的不停地在办事。

买了新的手表,可以计算跑步时的距离、时间、时速和卡路里。第二次戴着它去跑步,还不错。十一月的马拉松很快会到来。努力!加油!好好锻炼!

还去了健身房。去社区的健身俱乐部发现高级外劳 – 布丁。觉得自己好幸运,却好担心的,这样的运气像似随时会消失无踪。

这才发现以为已经放手的过去并没有真正离开过。遇到忽然的幸福时,却恐惧了。

‘The Runner’s Guide to the Meaning of Life’

For fun, health and adventure, I get back to running early this year. Occasionally, I look into book for running, but hardly any attracted me. Until, later I pick up this one from the public library. However, it took me a hard three months to finish the whole book. Indeed, it is really a good book before bed time.

Ironically, at this time when I decided to review this book, I have forgotten most topics in the earlier chapters. Anyway, the topics in the later chapters were really interesting:

Family stays with you at all times. Love them. And return such love!

Have courage to be yourself.

Appreciate hard time. The uphill road is hard. Be persistent, life will be great after peak (might not be too). Why not enjoy the hill? A breath-taking hill can have the most breathtakingly beautiful scenery in life.

Parents have great hope on their children. This however, does not mean a child has to be a person that the parents want he/she to be. The journey of life, theirs can be exciting too!
