Tree of Life

1月28日 － 2月14日  希腊各岛

Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit.

Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine

I got a love and I know that it's all mine

Ohh

Do what you want but you never going to break me

Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me

Ohh

... ...

20 something, 20 everything, and a leap of faith.

You Catch My Eye

            --A Psalm by Gerard Kelly, 2004

You catch my eye

In the eye of the storm;

You hold ointment appointments

When hell's hornets swarm.

When I find no time for stillness

You tell me there's still time;

When my words are clashing symbols,

You are Reason

Rhythm

Rhyme.

You are the song that rises in my soul

The coin that clatters in my begging bowl

You're a bed of roses on a crowded street;

A peppermint balm to my blistered feet.

You are rich in rest,

When rest is radium-rare.

By cool pools you position me;

With passion you petition me;

In fog and smog,

You re-condition my air.

You are the unexpected cheer

That lifts my game

In the vinegar and lemon juice of life

You are champagne

Like honey on the throat to Frank Sinatra,

Like a goat's milk bath to Cleopatra

You surround me to astound me

You soothe and smooth.

You are the stalker

Who is good for me;

The jailer 

Who can set me free;

The trap and snare

To bind me into love.

You who have refined me

Come find me

Mind me

By grace grind me

And bind me

Gentle jailer

Into love.

      每次旅行，总会牵挂家里的植物。虽然很喜欢香格里拉，真想就在这里住上一个月。但是想到上海那样闷热的夏天，我的花花草草肯定坚持不住那么长时间不喝水。所以，还是收收心，按原计划返回。

8月6日－8月12日：丽江、香格里拉

      今天下午看了陈凯歌的《和你在一起》，不行了，哭得稀里哗啦地...... 什么天才，什么成功，没有爱，就是空洞的，是没有意义的。在这个世界上，我只要和你在一起。
