Burial


「死無葬身之地。」這是一位長者論及香港地少,以致港人近年要找地方為離世的親人安葬都有困難的評語。她的確說得對,以前的人都要土葬,而近年大都選火葬,原因未必是現今的人喜歡火葬,而是在沒有選擇的情況下,他們要接受這個方式。

當港人發現火葬的地方都欠缺後,便開始考慮「最新」的花園葬或海葬。採用這兩個安葬的方式,骨灰不會長時間放在同一個地方,而是散在一個花園或在海裡。其實,不少信仰都相信人離世後,靈魂會去另一個地方。如果我們相信人離世後,身體只是個外面的軀殼,靈魂的安息比軀殼的安葬更重要的話,我們便不會再介意身體以哪個方式安葬。反而現在就要想想,將來我們的靈魂有沒有真正安息的地方。

Song


很喜歡 Anne Murray 這首歌,我覺得是首詩歌。

I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me

And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool 'cause I finally found someone who really cares

You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me "friend"

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me

You needed me, you needed me

Re-opening

一個喜愛寫作並以寫作為生的人,停了一段日子沒有寫部落格,今天又心思思想寫,所以都是決定重開我這個部落格。相信你們以前間中都會瀏覽我的部落格,我今次重開,不會寫太多關於我的事情,所以如果你想從這部落格得知我的近況,你會失望。因為我始終喜歡我的朋友直接找我,跟我聊天,而不是從部落格或者面書了解我的近況。
