林夕筆下的「約定」與「郵差」
不可能那麼多巧合,肯定是精心安排,這種手法叫 inter-textuality.
聽了十多年才突然聽出來,或許人必需要有經歷才能明白。早幾天我發現文字盛載不了感覺,我們只可以透過記述情境來鈎起感通,即以文字來盛載情境,再藉情境來產生感通。產生感通的前題是有共同經歷,要有共嗚感,不然就是對牛彈琴。
我卒之聽出了兩者之間的關係,這是好是壞?
浪漫與現實,幻想與痴想。

女孩的手
一覺醒來,發現自己捉著太太的手,我想起媽媽的手。
媽媽的手,是我這個男孩第一次觸碰的手,這種感覺我不懂形容,我只知我需要,而且很需要。
後來我這個男孩跌跌碰碰地,再觸碰另一位女性的手,這種感覺我也不懂形容,我只知道我需要,而且很需要。
我回家告訴媽媽,從她臉上的笑容,我又好像明白多了一點?
再幾年後,我這個男孩再觸碰到另外兩位女孩的手,她們是我的女兒,這種感覺我更不懂形容,但我知道她們需要,而且很需要。
這些年來,我真的不懂,但當我想起兒時捉著媽媽的手的時候,我又好像明白多了一點?
我不明白,但我只想捉著不放。
情,說不出來,只有感通; 愛,沒有完美,只有更濃。

Executing your dream
Leave your dream unfulfilled, or to work it out?
For that matter, I think of a dual meaning phrase, "executing your dream" in English.
It could be to realize your dream, or to kill your dream.
It seems paradoxical but that's life.

God of the Gap
When there is something that humanity cannot explain, we tried to use the label "God" to bridge the gap. And eventually when the intelligence of humanity improves, such "God" gets slimmer and slimmer, and it will even vanish one day.
However, the true God should be glorified further when our knowledge increases. It is because we will be able to appreciate His creations further with our increased knowledge.
There is a common saying that, "We do our best and God do the rest" and to me, it's another form of "god of the gap". When you do better and better, where is the place of God in that case? God was diminishing in that case.

Self-study notes on Proverbs
箴言肯定是我讀得最少的書卷之一,除了那廿多次全本速讀之外,我肯定不會單獨再讀這卷書,因為我不喜歡說教式的導人向善的道理,好話唔好聽,邊個唔知要做好人,但有無能力辦到先係重點!
但為了阻止自己偏食,決定要多花時間細心讀這卷書... 讀的時候,再發現和合本又再加鹽加醋:
一章開頭有好多個 "使..." 但原文其實唔係全部都一樣結構!
vv. 2-3 確係有三個 lamad + inf. construct, 但 v. 4 卻只係得返一個...
之後既幾個 "使..." 已經唔係呢個 pattern...
和合本 "造" 到咁工整,仲要去到第六節,好易誤導~
第四節中既兩個人造平行 (愚人 vs. 少年人) 原文亦同樣 introduced by lamad preposition,雖然唔係 inf. construct,但和合本仍能保留這個平行,總算可以,但要留心這個平行與之前的三個 "使..." 已經不是直接連續的。
但呢修鍊在 v. 6 的 "使..." 又恢復返... 稍後再研究...!
v. 7 introduced the theological basis, which should be studied further.
Incomplete....

你好嗎?
在這幾個月裡,差不多天天都收到你的文字,但我們卻很少交流,感覺真的有點怪!
我試著從你的文字中找你,卻發現當中沒有半點是對我說的話!
我試著從你的筆蹟中找你,只發現你真的很忙,但近二十年的默契,總叫我看穿你的混亂!
我試著從字裡行間中找你,卻只找到冷冰冰的字句,當中沒有半點我的縱蹟,卻找到我近來在你面前的唯一角色!
我試著從這一疊疊的紙張中找你,卻只找到錯別字,我知道你真的累昏了,我只好默默地替你修改!
偶然從你的文字裡發現你的成果,我也會從心底裡替你高興...
但我真的很寂寞,我每次想找你時,我都被自責和自憐所交織成的網困住!
雖然我沒有常常看見,但我卻知你每晚都在我身旁,只是每朝醒來卻已找不到你的身影...
