don't look back when you are leaving town

Suddenly I felt like she was coming back, from across the earth, on bare feet.

冰心在玉壶

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 00:14:56 -0400

寒雨连江夜入吴，平明送客楚山孤。

洛阳亲友如相问，一片冰心在玉壶。

当年学这首诗，冰心与玉壶当了清白解。自无不妥，只是后来又读到，渐渐尝到了释然与牵念的意味。冰心自是清澈的心，也是冰冷寂静的心，像明月。于王昌龄，后来寒雨连江的命运再也未曾更改。释然，乡愁，繁华落尽之际也算是诗人常有的心境了。临终，他的冰心也算回到了玉壶，想来不算最悲戚的命运。

如果冰心回暖，不知是否终能溢出玉壶，做了佳酿，也遂了既定的命运。

Seven Years

Mon, 10 Jun 2013 02:33:00 -0400

I realized it’s exactly seven years since the summer I heard this song. Consequences are something you can never foretell. Things I was so sure that were inconsequential are still remembered.

This little episode that lasted almost a third of my life - I finally used up my time to let it die.

I buried so many songs in the premature grave, but revived nothing. I was going nowhere with them. I realized I can’t go anywhere, carrying years of entangled threads in my boat, the boat I almost lost. Your pillaging prophecy will not reach any other prime number of mine.

I was counting bells in a sounding well, when you came, pale and tranquil.

The price I paid was much too heavy. I will not choose the bell anymore. I grew up and knew. Never again in my life will I ever ring my bell in your well.

I’m not fragile as a leaf in autumn. I never was, even on your highest precipice, I never fell. The ground I hit will not be as inconsequential as you, menacing or cruel. Goodbye. I fared you well.

The Sail

It was barely in sight

As the ocean swallowed

Churned in defiant

I was not responsible for its sorrow

But it drenched me in salt and sand

It was barely in sight

But it took me, took the last litheness of my hair

It frightened me, kept me up one night

Revoked my license to wither

Took my hand and flied

How it was not in sight

The little dot, barely off the offing

Trapped me with the thought

An incipient trip

An ineffable fight

有时想念自己短发的日子，没有什么快乐和惊喜，只有丢掉一切重新开始的决心。现在想来，因为这些，我做了太多的梦，最后心脏里还有知觉的那一部分只感觉得到凛冽的无望。可是微苦和疲惫的味道尝得多了，竟然也有了令人心满意足的意味。

不断想离开，重新开始，觉得自己什么也没有的习惯就是那时候养成的吧。不再想要诉说，放弃了为自己卑微的过去沉迷的权利也是那时候的事吧。到了今天，已经没有人知道我故事的全部。到底是心甘情愿的沉默，我自然有过自己说不清道不明的道理。其实这样也好。

头发依然在悉悉索索的长长，由不得我分辨。总有一天，我也会心安地接受这些事实吧。

Stunning new view of Big Bang’s afterglow shows universe is even older than we thought
New results from a look into the split second after the Big Bang indicate the universe is 80 million years older than previously thought but the core concepts of the cosmos — how it began, what it’s made of and where it’s going — seem to be on the right track.

The findings released Thursday bolster a key theory called inflation, which says the universe burst from subatomic size to its now-observable expanse in a fraction of a second. (AFP PHOTO / ESA / LFI)

A Simple Answer

Sun, 17 Mar 2013 02:47:43 -0400

sometimes you search and search and nothing happens - nothing in the world seems to take the slightest interest in you. Sometimes you think you are only worth of trouble, and choke, choke on the worst possibilities, despair, and weep on your failures. Sometimes you would like to give up, and live on the blind happiness - be humble, feed on indifference, face the sun, and grow stubbornly, wildly on your own.

Then you turned, and there it was. Simple it might be, illogical or cruel, an answer it was.

深深的話要淺淺地說
長長的路要揮霍的走
大大的世界要率真地感受
會痛的傷口要輕輕的揉

被抱緊的時候去勇敢的祝福
不被瞭解的時候
相信自己值得
永遠心疼做過的夢

在乎的人要傻傻地愛
經歷的事就慢慢地來
想法很多的時候要細膩地用
擁有一切以後就讓他走
在某個角落放一首歌

別忘了要溫柔
別忘了要快樂
