SINCERITY 真诚 | Take a Look Back on January 2016

NEW CHAPTER

Every time you tear a leaf off a calendar,

you present a new place for new ideas and progress.

What gets us through tiring days

While in the Shower:

12% Washing

8% Singing

80% Making Life Decision

Friday Inspiration: Lost in Reflection

郑聿〈最近的最远〉

最近好吗

有点想你

积了灰尘偶尔才擦拭的

那种想你

也渐渐明白

每日浇水

总有一天会变成流沙

人生的本质是什麽呢

照顾自己

开始像照顾盆栽一样困难

常反覆按着

牆上的开关

觉得这辈子全亮或全暗

都只是一瞬间——

都没关係了。

寂寞是擦拭乾淨

发现中间还隔着一片玻璃

用手指轻轻划过的

冰凉和旷野

我仍想起了你

不打破什麽的那种

想起了你

Friday Inspiration: What We See When We Read

我们靠着阅读、加上自己的称号，还有隐喻、借代、转喻，认识自己及身边的人。
即使是我们在这世上最爱的人，我们也是透过他们的片段及代替品来阅读他们。

这世界对我们来说是一本正在展开的书。
我们了解这个世界的方式，是把片段拼凑在一起——渐渐合成他们。

人生最神秘的事莫过于此：世界呈现在我们眼前，我们接收这个世界，
但我们没有看到接缝，没看到裂痕，也没看到不完整的地方。

——彼得·曼德森《我们在阅读时看到了什么？》

What is missing?

真诚 SINCERITY

An earnest and sincere feeling;

the quality of being open and truthful; 
not deceitful or hypocritical;
a quality of naturalness and simplicity;
the trait of being serious.

Friday Inspiration: Take Your Time

北岛〈日子〉

用抽屉锁住自己的秘密

在喜爱的书上留下批语
信投进邮箱 默默地站一会儿
风中打量着行人 毫无顾忌
留意着霓虹灯闪烁的橱窗
电话间里投进一枚硬币
问桥下钓鱼的老头要支香烟
河上的轮船拉响了空旷的汽笛
在剧场门口幽暗的穿衣镜前
透过烟雾凝视着自己
当窗帘隔绝了星海的喧嚣

灯下翻开褪色的照片和字迹

Party Night with Taboo (Black Eyed Peas)

Here we come, here we go, we gotta rock

Easy come, easy go, now we on top
Feel the shot, body rock, rock it, don't stop
Round and round, up and down, around the clock

On My Own

我刚查了一下，新加坡今年有Les Miserables音乐剧！

拥有温暖愉快的一天，比什么都还重要，

就暂时搁下生活日常的琐碎与烦恼，好好地围炉一聚。

叶青〈如何放下〉

你是光

但我想送你一颗太阳

让你 累的时候

可以闭上眼睛

任它去亮
