The election signs (竞选标牌)

星期五 六月 01, 2007 8:01 am

绿党成员给我发来
一个请愿书链接。
竞选季节马上要开始了,
他们担心标牌成林
如废物展示。

那些标牌充斥着
硕大,鲜亮的脸蛋,
空洞得比得过差劲的皮影戏。

我们不会认识他们,
我们只会知道他们的名字--
这就足够了,填进选票里。

我签名请愿书
请求那些候选人
走出皮影。

The Election Signs

A member of Green Party
sent me a link with a petition.
As the election season approaches,
They warn of the waste of a forest of signs.

Those posters with faces, huge and bright,
more void than the worst puppet show.

We do not know them,
We do know them--their names
asking us to remember
and to sign for them.

I signed the petition
and pled candidates:
"walk out from these shadows of signs."

Yoga (Poem)

星期四 五月 31, 2007 10:10 pm

Yoga

Sliding down gently,
breathing becomes soft waves
transverses spaces between
chest and face,
I return to the child pose.

Palms pressing down,
I huddle the earth beneath
Listen to whisper deep down
Me and the earth--
We are united.

Inhale, exhale… in the soft pattern

Inhale to embrace… things I appreciate
to soften my heart and
enrich my moment

exhale to let go… entwined mind
to remain myself and
accept the pure peace

deep inside roots
I need no bridge
To walk to serenity

noises from outside claim in vain
its pale richness.

简单的幸福。。。健康的身体

星期四 五月 31, 2007 4:05 pm
[  心情: Happy ]
[ Working 状态: Working  ]

为什么这两年精力很充沛,哪怕睡眠很少,也不影响自己?

有时其实也很担心,不过我心态很好,每年去做体检,都很好, 最近上瑜伽课更是放松,并鼓励朋友一起去。朋友说她怕痛,我以前上玩课,也会痛,但现在一点也不, 还常常和儿子,老公骑车,打篮球,网球。。和其他活动。。我无论什么活动都开心参加,不抱怨。
我想活着就应该好好活每一天。

朋友说我气色比以前好,我也觉得,虽然比以前瘦了,但精力不错。。。我自己觉得心态很重要。我一直很满足,很开朗,对得起别人,也对得起自己,不多事,也随意,所以睡眠也好了。

以前和朋友提到自己的担心,现在是时候好好保重自己。。。
人生的很多愿望可以慢慢去做,压力是极大的杀手。。。每个人都应好好学会去排解。

对我们搞电脑的,都应该去林中走走,,晒晒太阳,,一天一个苹果。 还有柚子茶。

花园里多劳动劳动,保证没错!

The way to be back to childhood

星期三 五月 30, 2007 12:20 pm

My son Jason has the trend to mimic other big kids. They play pokeman a lot and other games too.
To avoid my son follow their pattern, I want to establish his strong passion for music and sports.

Jason learns Piano and basketball, swim etc. We encourage him and push him too. He is good at piano, but he also needs a little push.
I and he do some games, funs of music. I must blame myself if I could pay more time and attention at him, his piano and music should be better.

Since I work at home sometimes, so when he is back home, I will invite him to watch music event on TV, DVD etc. He may lose patience very easily.
but I have a way to attract him to watch them more. I evolve some games or questions to challenge him.

last night, when he was on his bed, he always slept late, even we force him to be on the bed, he will still awake for a while. so I played children classic music.Swan lake etc, and I danced it along and asked him to predict what is what and so on...

He laughed so hard and joined me right away and we made a play together, even his sleep toys, panda and bears came too...

I guess this games will last for a few days. Sometimes I guess I am a kid too. I love to play silly and make fun of life.

Lately I listened to an audio book, it asked how many of us as adults play the games that we enjoyed so much in our childhood. Why ?
Why grownup is not fun anymore, why grownup we must dump a lot of our joys?

7月初去野宿。。。。(开心一下)

星期三 五月 30, 2007 10:40 am

儿子又要开心死了。。。

儿子真的很懂事,也很快乐。

我想他的性格真的很好,天然开朗和善良。

这是我最满足的了。 他能和任何人开心地玩,也能逗大家开心,中文老师说:开始她只是觉得他学习好,因为他是班上最小的,所以并没期望他有很强的领导才能。。。没想到,他慢慢地在所有同学中建立了威信和友谊,就连班上最调皮的最大的男同学最后也服他。。。老师说Jason 很有正义感,也乐于帮助别人。只有他敢对抗班上的那个蛮同学。最后一天所有同学都拜他为王。。。Jason 真是很优秀的孩子

我没想到老师对他如此评价,我知道大家都喜欢他,原来很小时候,他很胆小,但他是那种善于观察的人,不象我得罪了人也不会知道。
我很开心他能建立自己的自信和威信。 所以在他的成长路上,他会更融于生活和社区。

星星心语/甜蜜的忧伤

星期二 五月 22, 2007 10:37 pm

那些忧伤着的甜蜜
隐现着,
那些甜蜜着的忧伤
闪烁着,
遥远,纯净
在无人摘取的高处,
在寂静的暗夜.

无法触摸的,
风却飘散
低低的耳语,
那些滚落的,
在凌晨的江南
触痛了某个角落.

缘何一生,
幽深的小巷,
多事的风,
窗前的影,
忧伤着甜蜜,
甜蜜着忧伤,
漫过未尽的河,
一再漂泊?.

转身,再转,
在记忆失聪之前,
那些捂紧的乳名,
越过蓝色的深处,
涨满一池的莲梦,
忧伤着开放,
甜蜜着芬芳

忙了一天,,,还好有点收获

星期六 五月 19, 2007 9:55 pm

今天是狠了心,不管儿子,和老公一大早就去忙碌.

然后饿着肚皮,排对购物...在里面转了四个小时,终于满满地超标买了一车的物品...

在众多的顾客中,可能我们是两手都满满的人了...出来时,我想我们误导了外面还在排对的客人...期望更高了.

不过,确实也解决了我们回国礼物的一大难题. 这次都是女性礼物...还有老人补品下几周,再考虑了.

回来儿子很挂念我们,我们一直多是全家行动,所以一分开时间长了,特别想念...不过也觉得对不住儿子,不过他现在开始皮一点了,更要多发时间培养教育...有时觉得他不断地在测试我的忍耐力. 母爱也真不容易.不过心甘情愿.

因为五月诗歌音乐会活动报道,所以特意留了相关报纸,不经意注意到一篇文章,谈知难而退...很有道理.

大家反对,一意孤行的事,最好知难而退,当然真遇到要鱼死网破的也没办法. 有时并不是付出了,就能得到,得到也要有道. 不过这些说破了,也无异于事,只能自己领悟了. 每个人都有自己的局限性,这时候就看站在你身边的是真心帮,还是为了自己私利. 可惜每个人都会选择自己愿意听的意见,所以只有水落石出,他才能真正明了...
也是,是人都难免糊涂....

周五和ELKA组里的朋友为感谢她一直为我们大家组织诗歌活动而请她夫妻吃饭,又认识了几个新朋友...她们邀请去参加下周绿党下午茶聚会. 我答应了. 想学习和了解一个新党派的思想以及活动方式. 看他们如何知难而进的....

我有时也觉得自己是不是兴趣和活动太多了, 不过还很有意思...很早以前,我写了昨日星辰,,,其中提到20岁时,朋友问我:我的梦想...我说了其中一个;年老写自传....后来我自己也一直怀疑自己,凭什么,你有什么可写?

也许今后会有一些故事吧....不过无论如何开阔眼界总是没错!

The moment

星期三 五月 16, 2007 10:38 pm

When stepping out of the time,
I return to a moment.
Discovering that an angel walks beside
I shield streams of tear.

She smile and say,"Dear, do not cry.
The darkness, you have come through,
I always watch over and take care."

I look upon everything and find it true.
I turn to the blessed moment
and embrace each with a new life.

Thus I say to you, my friends in loneliness,
"Don't cry. Turn and find your guardian.
have that faith."

一些愿望

星期二 五月 15, 2007 9:37 am
[  心情: Happy ]

有些事情说难也难,说不难也不难....

比如有不少机会做成一些事情,但做事要做到实处,做到正处,所以有些事情放手或不做未必就是坏事...

现在回头看看,也是,做成了又怎么样? 那些机会也许不是你想要的...


是时候静心拜一两个师傅了,宽容地看待那些过往,感谢过往,尽管风云变幻,默守自己,心境开阔...十年,二十年,不长,也不短,慢慢去领悟,我想会开花结果的! 而我还会一直年轻和富有梦想.

路漫漫

星期五 五月 11, 2007 11:29 am

我把自己背负,
不去责备昨天--
那些隔世的音渺
飘散后还会聚拢.

谣言因为山风
传播在狭窄的通道,
我忘了站得更高--
去迎接穿透乌云的阳光.

如果所有路注定
荆棘和未知,
虽然身心单薄,
我不会因此放弃.

尽管前行越来越难,
那些通明的绿林,
远方的远方,
开始越来越清晰...

我不放弃旅行!

愁(黄崇超)(试译)

星期四 五月 10, 2007 2:51 pm

愁(黄崇超)

在一叶飘落的地方
有人看见了它的过去
在一缕阳光照耀的地方
有人看见了它的昔日

谁会知道失落的究竟能不能回来
谁能够预测世界的令一个侧面
当我在听风吹过的时候
我总是这样默想


Melancholy


On the ground where a leaf falls,
its bygones someone may pierce through.
In the place where sunlight shines,
its yesterday someone could see.

But who knows if the lost will come back?
Another facet of the world,who can forecast?
While listening to the wind blow away,
I meditate and wonder.

everyday do something you enjoy(ZT from make life go better)

星期四 五月 10, 2007 2:30 pm

Resiliency is the ability to bounce back from the ups and downs of life. How resilient are you?

How resilient you are "today" depends on how you were taking care of your resiliency resources yesterday. Resiliency is the energy that allows you to enrich in life. It is something we all have. We are born with resiliency, but we can lose it.

Your resiliency energy is like a reservoir. So, picture a lake and a dam. All of the water in the lake behind the dam represents your life energy. You use this energy to handle the daily stresses and strains of life. Whenever change or stress comes into your life the floodgates of the dam open, and some energy flows out into the world. This is the energy that helps you cope. If the stress is small then the floodgates open a little and some water or energy flows out. If it is a bigger stress or a series of stresses then the gates open wider and more energy flows away. If it is a major crisis or chronic, continual stress and change then the gates open very, very wide and all of your energy can flow out into the world. The lakebed is now dry and you have no energy left.

What is this loss of energy like? We have two main words to describe it. In the work place it is called "burnout." This means that you have done the job a little too long and just cannot do it anymore. Outside of the work setting we may call it depression.

In either case you have lost energy or motivation. There is no "get up and go" left. You experience a general lack of interest in both people and tasks. Sadness, irritation, and frustration are present. You become hard to live with both for yourself and for others.

When you give out of resiliency energy, the challenge is to put some back into the reservoir. In fact, you should have been refilling it all the time.

What do you do to fill it up again? The answer is simple. You just do something you enjoy, everyday. Have some fun, everyday. Do this and you will be refilling the reservoir.

This sounds simple and it is, however, it is not easy. Simple and easy not the same.

To confirm this for yourself, take the resiliency test. Get a sheet of paper, pen or pencil, and quickly make a list of 20 things you like to do. Anything at all as long as you like it.

If you are like most people you will start to give out of items by the time you reach number ten. This is a quite a shock because life offers endless possibilities. When you can hardly think of ten, it is rather sad and pathetic. You must add to your list of things you enjoy if you want to be a resilient person.

Once you have a list of 20 things, you must test the list you have. Read each item and put the letter "W" by each one you have actually done in the last week. The more things you have done the better life looks. The more things you have done the more energy you will have. If you are not doing things you enjoy everyday then you are not replenishing your resiliency energy. You are heading towards burnout or depression.

There are some resiliency secrets. Resiliency secret #1 is," Do something you enjoy everyday."

Resiliency secret #2 is that the things you enjoy should be in two major categories. One will be those items, which are fun (that is why you like them) and the second category are items that may not be fun. You enjoy them for a different reason. You enjoy them because they give you a sense of accomplishment – things like, maybe, cleaning the toilet. It is not much fun but you feel good when it is done and the toilet is sparkling clean.

Life will challenge your resiliency resources everyday. You must replenish them everyday by taking time to do things you enjoy. Each night when going to sleep, ask yourself two questions. First, "Did I have any fun today?" The answer should also be yes to at least one thing. Second, "Did I get anything done today?" The answer should be yes to at least one thing. If you can answer both questions positively then you have had a good day and are on the road to resiliency. If you can answer with more than one item so much the better.

So, everyday do something you enjoy. In fact, do several things you enjoy. The more you do the more resiliency you create and the more energy you have to invest in life.

你不会明白
多年以后,
影子还那么消瘦,
喧嚣离场的风,
再也带不走
那一身的轻…

你无法察觉
盘古的青发
樱花般纷纷坠落,
青苔的手
吹不开铅的沉…

水落下去,
月色飘浮,
今生前世,
擦肩而过,
滑落的星辰…

和黑马王子的对弈

星期二 五月 08, 2007 9:27 am

对弈的两颗心,
在夜空点亮
满盘星际的棋,
星星不动声色,
黎明甩开
谨密的布局.

摇旗呐喊的山风
不断鼓噪,
喷薄的红日,
晃晃地出场…

河东河西,
千里路,
一道网,
人生苦渡.

血色残阳,
一枚失血的棋.
荓弃于天际,
海的梦中.

------------

对弈 (作者:黑马王子)

心如止水
独对一盘棋
在千山之外,千年之后
我等你
与我对弈
等待是此生唯一不变的姿势
我明明知道
你一定会来

灯花落尽,夜已阑珊
此刻,如果你来
拨开重重迷雾
挣脱密密尘网
如一枚石子,跃入水面
你轻扣我门扉
虽千万人,凭心里的涟漪
我一定认得你

来啊,来请坐
一杯淡茶,一局棋
你我对弈
你执白,我执黑
你看这深不可测的黑啊
是我用一切的颜色凝成
而你的白
纯粹如童年
洁净凄美得令人心颤
以这样的方式
我们交谈
你的眼睛
是两面明镜
一边,春潮汹涌
一边,落英缤纷
我清晰地看见
镜中的自己
以火焰的姿势
疾速成长,又颓然老去
在这静默的小屋里
在这黑与白的世界里
我们的呼吸
也如古树的根须
紧紧纠缠在一起

窗外,星陨如雨
所有观弈者的斧柄
开满了奇异的花瓣
时光的河上
多少升沉荣辱
多少悲欢离合
转瞬即逝

如果说这是江湖上最浪漫最惊心的一局
我就是那最痴情最寂寞的棋手

如果你不来
等待是此生唯一的选择
坐在岁月的深处
我明明知道
你一定会来

完了,又失眠了

星期五 五月 04, 2007 9:38 am

原以为自己这个江湖郎中可以信任...两年的失眠,自己调整好....

结果,昨晚还是半晚睡不着...想杂七杂八的东东....

看着身边打亨的老公羡慕得不行,使劲往他身旁钻...以往抱着就容易入睡,,,但还是不行,他是沉沉梦乡..

后来儿子爬到我们床上,抱着儿子,很快就睡着了...

有时是我宠儿子,而另些时候,儿子来宠我...

老公总让我改改...可半夜儿子过来,我真的好开心和幸福.

有时我在想,转眼儿子长大了,就再没有机会了...好自私的母亲.

昨天PARTY,同事说还是生女儿好,儿子总是别人的...

我说现在快乐,就ENJOY...

老公总说,我睡不着,是太幸福了....

好吧,那我就做幸福的女人!

星期四 五月 03, 2007 11:37 am

每周我只能在家上两天班,其余三天在公司...
在家上班确实能干更多事,也可以每隔一小时到花园晒晒太阳...

我们真的需要阳光,为了健康和心情舒畅. 所以我也会带儿子多去户外,老公带儿子游泳,自己也学会了,带儿子滑冰,也学会了,
我不行,怕摔,只好旁观.

不过我带儿子踢球,放风筝,弹琴...又是锻炼身体,又是培养母子感情,而且人更快乐.感谢加拿大良好的环境,空气清新,活动场地很多,也很便利自由.

今年回国很多朋友提醒会有很大不同,,,看来要有心理准备.
很想回去看看了.

Sweet Sorrow

星期三 五月 02, 2007 9:58 pm

The tune of the music
I heard long ago
I forgot,
only its name lingered.
I engrave it in my heart,
and it goes on and on...

Before the winter,
I perceive the invitation
of dance and feast.
Putting on a mask
and hiding my memories,
I leave the floor
with a lonely shining slipper.

When spring comes,
I see it swirl
and chase my dream.
Again I hear
the Sweet Sorrow.

Dandelion in dream

星期三 五月 02, 2007 11:53 am

This morning,
too many sad poems--
your hair grows grey,
I am certain.

I do not have a mirror
that long and wide,
I do have dandelions
eager to fly.

Suppose spring melts the snow
and the spaces,
Still icicles fill another
crystal dream.

last night,
watching them cry,
my shadow turned slimmer.

晨起,
忧伤的诗歌满目
你的头发又白了些许,
我如此确定.

我并没有一面镜子
如此宽广.
我仅有一手蒲公英
急切欲飞.

设想春天积雪融化,
路途不再遥远,
那些小小冰凌
仍然填满一个个
水晶的梦.

昨晚,
看着它们垂泣,
我的影子越发细长.

我只是一朵蒲公英

星期三 五月 02, 2007 7:58 am


我不要杉树的深沉,
在望不见的高处,
收紧原本细瘦的腰肢,
那种执意的高贵,
在一场暴风雨下
让雷电击得粉碎.

我只是一朵蒲公英,
以杉树不屑俯首的从容,
在低矮的坡上飞过,
随意散漫,我歌我舞.
爱着自己的伞翼,
爱着每一个暂停的居所.
不断播种,生根.

来过,爱过,
我的脚步轻盈,
心不再是石头
爬满青苔的回忆,
环山静舆的
澄碧是天的宽广,
和一面心镜,
如此空明,纯净.

在春风中
我自由伸展
那些鸟语和梦境.
我洁白的衣裙
承托风中的
每一个祝福.
快乐地飞舞!

The feel of Yoga

星期二 五月 01, 2007 9:32 pm

Each Tuesday night, I will go for Yoga. It is a quiet and peaceful time for myself.
I can relax my whole body accordingly to my own pace, I can close my eyes with imagination of waves from oceans, breezes above trees.

I can stretch myself into any angle which comforts me. I can feel my soul rising, dancing or just gliding.

The world can be only me and my soul, the peace is in my heart.

In yoga classes, everyone is in her whole world, with her own imagination or focus.

Inhale or exhale, life is alive, I listen to myself with each breath and experience its own beat.

翻译(中文诗歌: 简简柔风)

星期二 五月 01, 2007 12:34 pm

1.《那一天,我们相遇》
你是否对我有过暗示?
我敏锐的触角,时刻警惕着。
风,滑落一页日历
关于羊年的墒情,逐一洇开。
我写还未来临的那一天,
写我日日凝视的北方:辽远、空旷。
那一天,我们的确不曾相遇。

2.《阳光花吻上面庞的时刻》
无论我拒绝还是拥抱
春天还是来了
站立或行走,或偶尔停留
我像一滴懂得疼痛的水
躲闪着欲说还休,先是跌落再是飞升
我们的手心,握紧文字
我们面前,铺展的白纸:锋利如刀
这是将要盛开花朵的三月,阳光花吻上面庞

14.《从来都不曾绝望过》
说笑,阳光一样的音色朗朗
游戏,仿佛少年
我不能说出实质意义上的忧伤与寂寥
那些年,我不停的播种、插秧
果实和花朵就要占据空旷
回声、回声,我唤你、山也唤你、水也唤你
我终于从老迈回到少年
你若是老去,我必须年轻。这是单选
从来,从来都不曾绝望,即使面临深渊




1)The day we met

I wonder if you had signaled to me.
Each moment, my keen antenna raises its guard.
Wind glides a page of calendar away,
the feeling of the Goat-year drifts around.
I spell a day that has not come yet,
I spell the North that I gaze every day:
void, distant.
I am certain that day we never met .

2)the moment sunlight kisses my face

No matter what I decline or embrace,
Spring still follows.
Standing up, or going for a walk,
or even pausing a few minutes,
I feel like a drop of water, understanding the pain,
forcing myself not to speak,
my heart dropping down then going up.
We clench words in palms of our hands.
On unfolded white paper,
they are sharp knives.
This is in March when blossoms begin
and sunlight kisses my face.

14)I have never despaired

I talk and laugh,
like sunlight
shining and bright.
But those are games of my youth
I can not detect the sorrow and loneliness
in its actual meanings.
Those years, I seeded, planted without stopping.
Fruits and blossoms almost took over the emptiness.
But echoes, echoes
that I called you, mountains called you
and rivers too,
echo…
In the end I return to my youth.
I must be young even if you turn old and forget.
This is the only option--
never, never despair
even if facing an abyss.

星期二 五月 01, 2007 8:52 am

前一阵,几家报纸希望我写点东西,,,因为这几周参加了几个不同的活动,确实有不少东西可写,,,就是没有时间,等忙完好好整理一下,再写

今天一家美国音乐电台问我写"告别交响曲"的情况,他们正在组织一个"POETRY CONTEST",所以我很高兴这是诗歌和音乐的又一个结合.

其实诗歌还是有观众的...只是看我们如何表达和表现出来.

这个月母亲节,儿子的钢琴老师让我帮他们教堂写的一个歌颂母亲的歌,她谱了曲,很好听,将会由他们教堂的孩子合唱.

到时我带儿子一起去看看,听听.

星期三 四月 25, 2007 10:32 pm

有信仰就能有希望,,,有希望就能坚持....

偶尔一个朋友在读"LEFT TO TELL, Discovering GOD", 我翻了几页,因为很喜欢作者的文字风格,就抄下了名字,到图书馆借....却排到50多个以后,四个月后,昨天拿到.

我花了两天读完,,,很感动,也很惊异人性和历史如此相似...不管是在哪个国度和不管信仰多么不同...

作者是写的她的亲身经历,在那样种族灭族的大残杀中,她失去双亲,三个兄弟,朋友和邻居背叛,她还是相信GOD,并依靠自己的信仰九死九生坚持活了下来.更难得的是她原谅了那些伤害她的人.

我想我是一定做不到的,,,但是她说只有原谅了别人才真正找到自己的安宁...

我相信,对别人的宽容,也是对自己的宽容...我也许短时间做不到,不过希望从今以后能原谅和宽容别人了...很多事情都是无法预料的,这我相信,也很清楚...只有原谅一切.

这本书,我读着,哭了,多少生死,多少奇迹,但会不会太晚? 对于那么多人付出的代价? 真的什么都有发生的缘由吗? 我不太相信...但 我知道自己冥冥中一直在寻找....

A song to shadow

星期一 四月 23, 2007 9:08 pm

When others claim
they have no shadow inside,
I invite my shadow to stay--
from the day I was born,
I knew we were siblings.

Others may ignore and deny him,
I listen to his muted singing.
light pierces transparent minds,
yet truth is not as simple as it seems.

While vicious dark sides
never expose themselves,
beneath the broad sky,
instead,
my shadow stands tall.

So for his thinnest honesty,
I sing to my shadow
and rely on
his own faith --
from a true self.

The Farewell Symphony

The autumn sky is blue and clear,
Out in wild fields reeds stretch.
Birdcalls fade in thin branches,
Rivers silently gather fallen leaves.

Shadows grow taller;
Hills mute in their shattered hues.
Winds spiral in deep valleys,
whose home , candles still beckon?

Soon snow will blank et everything below;
wild geese glance back and take off.
Their raucous echoes fall,
then drown and drown
pale in ebbs.

告别交响曲

——听海顿故事和他的同名交响曲有感


告别交响曲
——听海顿故事和他的同名交响曲有感


秋季的天空明朗浅蓝,
芦苇野旷里高高地挺立。
而鸟声渐弱, 树枝稀疏,
河流默然承接着叶落。

远处的影子更深更长,
散碎的色调中,山川无声无息。
深谷里,风不断地盘旋 ,
谁家的烛光还在远远召唤?

雪不久会覆盖地面的一切,
大雁回望中开始飞行。
它们嘈杂的叫声落下,
淹没,退潮中一片苍白。



创作灵感

这首诗歌是我根据奥地利作曲家海顿的同名曲《告别交响曲》而作。

海顿作这首乐曲时有个真实的故事。当时海顿以及其他乐团友随王子每个夏季到夏宫演奏, 但他们的家人不能一起同去,只有等到秋天王子回来时,他们才能与家人团聚。所以当某一个秋天到来,王子还不想离去,乐队团友着急回家, 所以请团长海顿想办法.

喜欢幽默的海顿写了这曲《告别交响曲》的演奏过程通过音乐节奏的变化和器乐的一个个离场,来提醒王子,该回去了……

我听了这个故事和乐曲, 想到自然的一些变化, 秋退冬来, 叶落鸟飞等肃穆景象…… 以此来比拟和反映自然界的“告别交响曲”。

To feel Yoga again

星期二 四月 17, 2007 9:11 pm

It is time to feel Yoga again. Like other meditation, Yoga is a good excise to relax and balance yourself.

After long time, I thought I would feel pain to do all the stretch. But so far so good. I enjoyed it so much and totally relaxed.

And the good thing is it is so close to my house, beside the new library.

Next time I will come a little early since I want to ask how to breath correctly.

Excise from workshop

星期二 四月 17, 2007 9:05 pm

Excise

Last weekend I was very busy. But I was glad to keep written a lot.

I attended Ellen's workshop, and found it very interesting.

I wrote it down here is for later to continue excise by myself.

First she wrote down a very simply sentence to let us develop our own version with imagination.

She wrote: She walks into the room.

I jot it down: The blue angel descends in unfolding sheer wings into a glass circling room on the top hill.

Then she asked each to read it out and she gave the comments.

I wondered if mine had the grammar errors, such as “unfolding” should be “unfolded”,
“circling” be “circled” . She told me both worked. But she prefer “ing” because it gave the impression of “going on and on” more magic and present feeling.

Her comments kept me read words more carefully and wisely. Sometimes different use of words made a big difference.

Another excise was to ask each of us write down 10 nouns, 10 verbs. Then two of us switch the list of 10 verbs. We need to use our own 10 nouns and switched 10 verbs to make some interesting sentences or stories.

My buddy gave me more verbs related to mine field, such as Haul, dump, load….

So I wrote:

The boy dreamt the moon was hauled by the white geese, when all fish jump out of water, a red bunny blasted into a garden and sky turned into red… her woke up with these fishy weird images, he tried to dump them out of his head…

The major excise is to critique poems in a group and tried to rewrite an improved one.
I brought “the farewell symphony” since I was not sure about the last verse. I was glad to get the honest suggestion and worked it out to a better version.

After the workshop, I talked with Ellen. She said “I think you have a wonderful talent in writing and poetry; your struggle with the English language is not a handicap, but something that will help you create
your own style and imagery.”

I found a lot to learn. And I enjoy to learn. Sometimes I agree with Ellen, I surely create my own style and imagery.

So I asked him how he was doing at home. He said very good. He studied and played panio...

then he told me,"Mom, I don't want to waste your time. Now I will say good bye." I was very moved. Yes, I always told him I were busy, and time was like money, we should not waste it.

He was so kind and nice to remind me of my work. He was more mature than his age.

----柔柔的伤,深深的割舍,读简简柔风--一株树的忧伤---

星期三 四月 04, 2007 9:24 pm

----柔柔的伤,深深的割舍,读简简柔风--一株树的忧伤---

简简的树移走了,
我只是从窗口看到,
它的背影一起移走,
瘦了门前青石板路.

曾经那样的韶华,
我想象简简的眼睛
飘着所有的翅膀,
围绕着它而吟唱.

简简有理由神伤,
那些根须缠饶着
积雪的煞白
和燧变的疮伤.

我小心打扫
残落的枝叶,
它们在黑夜
这锭砚墨下,
刻下漫漫秋冬
和简简心事.

终于在迟来新春里,
那些枝桠,
那些移不走的根
默默发芽,抽出新枝.

在月光姣洁的玉盘下,
我听到窗外,
莲池不断的笑声.
那些移不走的青春.

-----------------


一株树的忧伤
(简简柔风)



当一株树开始预谋漂移,要积蓄多久能量,失去多少叶片?
  一个冬天是远远不够的,树咀嚼掉上个季节所有的坚果。
  或者我该认定这是一场盛典,并且描摹出微笑去迎接树的莅临。
  缘自外部的拘谨是可以束缚一只鸟的,鸣叫的声音丢失本原。
  我想象中的树是历经风尘的,我甚至借助眼镜去辨认他原本的样貌。

  伸出的手,撩不去往昔。

  没人试图阻挡树的自由,我也不。
  那一天我是云,蓝裙白衫,拂过你的树冠。
  满树的眼睛暗含忧伤,年轮布满情节的虚妄。
  早年的精彩华章正逐一散落,漫山的花朵张扬着轻浮。
  我终于在低头关注一棵草的片刻,潸然泪流。
  我知道你忽略了。

  风在山冈,溪在谷底,豆花胡在坡上,引诱着忧伤的树。
  面临根基的破损残缺,树从不修改初衷。
  我努力使自己不去设想树去年的事件和过失,关注今天。
  于树的浓荫里,歌唱穿越枝桠的阳光碎片。
  我是想要擦拭树额头的纹理。
  树不拒绝,拥我如怀。世界在篡改已写好的记录。
  一株注定流浪的树,被这个春天缠绕。

  这一次我是鸟,或喜鹊或斑鸠或布谷,忘记飞翔因树盘旋。
  做出衔枝的事态,描述搭窝的设想,鸟因此兴奋不已。
  树见过这样的轻薄,沉默着。树想起许久前的旧巢剥落。
  树的忧伤,斧劈刀削。

  我拿下做作的眼镜,痛哭失声。

  2006年的春季,一片鹅黄点缀浅翠。
  树移动沉重的步履,没有回头。我也说过要微笑歌唱。
  当夏天终将接替春,我看见事物外部的牙齿,和齿痕。
  有些意外的疼痛对于树,依旧像是风过。

星期六 三月 31, 2007 8:43 pm

回国的机票一订,
心直飞起来--
在长安街头,
天安门前,
异域的我踟留到
最后一寸晨光.

爱我的和我爱的,
多想拥你们入怀,
千山万水叠映着,
此刻晀入我的心田.

岁月穿梭的身影
久别后重逢--
突然陌生了眼睛,
紧紧捂住的乡愁
荡开涟漪--
再也阻不住泪流...

我回来了,却还会离去...

丛立的岛屿,
还是各自的天空,
长城内外
延伸着古道的苍茫.

我们真的瘦了,
瘦得彼此心痛,
关山之外,
锁不住月光下
闪闪的离愁
和风干的黎明.

We had the theme of Poetry night. I was glad to see there were more people appreciate poetry.

Three guys in our group were really good. One could understand poetry very well and recited them well, others could skillfully play words to combine some meaningful and rhyming line.

There were also some ladies working as leadership coach.

They looked very professional and balanced well.

Tonight I didn't take much time to prepare the meeting, overall it was good.

Lake Louise

Pretty, pretty Louise
lies down in quiet and peace,
surrounded by Mountain Mother, Elizabeth,
who wears her snowy hat.

Each summer, shedding her cold, pale tears,
Elizabeth misses her princess beneath.
Streams trickle down into Louise's heart,
a green mirror reflects the white lonely hat.

Within timeless reminiscences,
who could collect shining
stars to mound
above her and the hat?
I only see twinkles,
twinkles gleaming--
in her blue soft face.

Nostalgia is a Growing Tree


Nostalgia, a growing tree,
Its branches stretch over the tall fence.
I keep manicuring it;
the falling fragments bedew my face.

Its branches stretch over the tall fence,
as a lantern beckons in the distance.
Who holds the light high
to embrace me in its silvery cocoon?

I cannot help reminiscing,
my shattered shadow wrapped inside.
The falling fragments bedew my face;
a growing tree, nostalgia is.

Story about “The Farewell Symphony”

星期二 三月 20, 2007 3:55 pm

The Farewell Symphony
---inspired by Haydn 's story and the same title




" 告别交响曲"

听海顿故事和他的同名交响曲有感



秋季的天空明朗浅蓝,

高高的芦苇野旷里挺立.

鸟声渐弱, 树枝稀疏,

河流沉默地承接着叶落.



远处的影子更长了,

山川在散碎的色调中无声,

深谷里风不断盘旋,

谁家的烛光还在召唤?



不久雪会披盖地面的一切,

大雁回望中飞起.

它们嘈杂的叫声落下

淹没, 淹没

退潮中一片苍白



The Farewell Symphony
---inspired by Haydn 's story and the same title



The autumn sky is blue and clear,
Out in wild fields reeds stretch.
Birdcalls fade in thin branches,
Rivers silently gather fallen leaves.

Shadows grow tall er;
Hills mute in their shattered hues.
Winds spiral in deep valleys,
whose home , candles still beckon?

Soon snow will blank et everything below;
wild geese glance back and take off.
Their raucous echoes fall,
then drown and drown
pale in ebbs.











这首诗歌是我根据奥地利作曲家海顿的同名曲" " 告别交响曲"

喜欢幽默的海顿写了这曲" 告别交响曲", 演奏过程 通过音乐节奏的变化和器乐的一个个离场, 来提醒王子, 是时候回去了…

我听了这个故事和乐曲, 想到自然的一些变化, 秋退冬来, 叶落鸟飞等肃穆景象… 以此来比拟和反映自然界的" 告别交响曲"



The Farewell Symphony was composed base on a true story by Franz Joseph Haydn.
Every year, when the weather turned nice, Prince Esterhazy -- Franz Joseph Haydn's employer -- moved his entire household to his summer palace. When it turned cold again, everyone moved back to the main palace in the city. But one fall, it stayed warm for a very long time, and the prince didn't budge. Since the musicians were considered as servants, they were not allowed to bring their family. So after a long summer, the musicians in his orchestra missed their family and wanted to go home, they begged their director Haydn to find a way. Haydn found a musical way to tell the prince it was time to go: the Farewell Symphony.


the Farewell Symphony started with a group of instruments playing, its first three movements were very normal, in a smooth harmony…Then it began the last movement, and followed a pause, then completely changed mood. All a sudden, two horn musicians stood up and blow out the candles and left the stage. Then more windwood musicians left, pretty soon the other bass left. Then the double base left…so did the cello, which made the orchestra pretty purty.
By the time three more instruments took off, the stage was almost empty… and the music goes soft and soft, quiet and quiet…
Luckily the Prince liked the amusement and knew the implying. The next day they all headed for home.
I wrote the poem The Farewell Symphony after I heard the story and the music. But I write the farewell symphony from natural scenes. It starts autumn. It is a season for leaves, birds to retreat and leave.
Since it is fall, the blue sky is clear and high. But the good day cannot last long, soon leaves fall and the colors of mountains change. River goes quiet and reeds stand tall. Valleys mute in long shadow and winds mingle.
But snow will bring hibernation soon and it is time for wild geese to leave. The lovely scene will become pale and pale.
This is music from nature. Farewell is always challenge after a wonderful and charming summer.

读诗心得(1)

星期五 三月 16, 2007 7:53 am

Two years ago, when I read Emily Dickinson’s poems, I felt them very strange. Yet I was still deeply punched and attracted by them.
I seldom read theory about poetry since my personality was kind of hunting for freedom.
The evidence is very clear, I can dance by myself very well, but if someone teach me how to dance, then I am totally lost. But a few days ago, I borrowed a book “the Art of poetry”, then I found the way what I interpreted Emily Dickinson’s poems was just spontaneous, I was not really sure why I loved them and why she wrote like that. But now with the guide, they seem much deeper and more meaningful. I admire her skills and creativity.

Here I would like to show some examples.

Four Trees--upon a solitary Acre--
Without Design
Or Order, or Apparent Action--
Maintain--

The Sun--upon a Morning meets them--
The Wind--
No nearer Neighbor--have they--
But God--

The Acre gives them--Place--
They--Him--Attention of Passer by--
Of Shadow, or of Squirrel, haply--
Or Boy--

What Deed is Their's unto the General Nature--
What Plan
They severally--retard--or further--
Unknown—

Emily Dickinson’s life was a mystery. This poem is the same. The ending “Unknown—“is very striking, yet peaceful. It shares such deep insight: things just exist and are beyond knowing.

I especially love Dickinson’s vision about life, freedom and truth. She used her unique way to present a world beyond our knowing, remote and solitary….

In this poem, she tried to avoid verb, and used minim puncanations. Instead, she introduced dash. For me, a sign of continuing, yet breaking or halting…

Four trees are observed by a quiet heart and random focus with wondering thoughts.
It seemed to raise questions casually, what deed, what plan… They retard—further unknown…

The idle natural scenes are merely connected by a set of almost unconnected nouns: trees, sun, wind, place, shadow etc. Objects simply appear one beside or after the other and the whole relationship remain unclear.

After reading this poem, I believe readers will be left to pause, wonder and hang on those images… what deed, what plan…then unknown
Dickinson creatively broke the grammar rules, hang her thoughts and images in the idle and disconnect objects just like her lines here. She made a unique and silent scene and image by displaying words with fragmental grammar checking.

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

On Friends:
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.


On Love:
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

On Envy:
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.

On Good Deeds:
Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds.

On Thought:
The mind is everything. What you think you become.

On Gratitude:
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.

On Hatred:
Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.


Self Discipline: Buddha Quotes
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

Happiness: Buddha Quotes
Meditate.

Life: Buddha Quotes
The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.

Happiness: Buddha Quotes
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

Philosophy: Buddha Quotes
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.

Business: Buddha Quotes
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.

My son, me and the old poets

星期日 三月 04, 2007 4:37 pm

My son, me and the old poets

We painted my son’s room.
He chose the colour blue,
it’s supposed to be cool.

We end the day there.
He reads his book,
I read mine, we dream.

Nearby, a new library will be
an ocean of books. I will throw
him in so he can learn to swim.

I joined a new poetry group.
I am the youngest, surrounded
by deep lakes and old trees.

Thirty years from now,
I will be like them, settled
in my meditation.

By then, my son
will be sailing on his ambition,
exploring beyond my ocean.




儿子,我和老诗人

儿子的房间刷成蓝色
在他眼中,
蓝据说很酷.

那里,我们结束每天,
他读他的,
我读我的,幻想很多…

新建的图书馆
书的海洋去让他沉浸,
让他遨游.

我加入的诗人团体,
我是最年轻的一个,
被深湖和老树围绕.

30年后,我也会
象他们安定下来
沉浸在回想中.

而我的儿子
怀着一颗更远的雄心,
航行在更广的海洋.



------------------------
I almost felt my inspiration drained, then I recalled yesterday: a poet 80 years old, he said if you were young you had explored a lot and had a lot of fun, then when you were old, you would have much joy than others. You would be very busy to recall the past time and enjoy them and not regret that you had not done anything in the end.

I set my soul free

I set my soul free
wherever the gloom dominates;
tides will bring joy back
and breezes cradle my dream.

I traverse the blue planet,
through mountains and over oceans,
with a rosy crown and
freedom as a queen.

When twilight glows at dawn,
I will return to the mermaid’s home,
singing and dancing there free,
a fairy with oblivion of bubbles’doom.

I will set my soul free,
when day becomes night;
a black cloak is my wing
to take my sorrow away.

大鸟随笔】之十一:《翻译·语言·诗家语》

文/云外野鹤

1

  翻译是一种屠夫的职业?还是一种创造性的手艺?——最近读诗的时候,我常常迷惑于这个问题。

  唐纳德·戴维说:“真正的好诗是经得起翻译的”。老庞德也说:“一个伟大的文学时代必是一个伟大的翻译时代”。但是,与庞德诗观颇有抵牾的弗罗斯特却说:“Poetry is what gets lost in translation”(诗歌是翻译中失去的那个部分),谁说的对?
还是具体地从一种语言或一个诗人来看看吧,德语诗人里尔克是个颇有意味的谜,据传,里尔克在英美读者心目中的地位,远远高于在德语读者那里的位置,而实际上他很蔑视英美文化。德语和英语的转换,增加了什么诗质?还是减少了什么非诗质?里尔克诗歌的本身究竟应该是什么样?

  在中文里,里尔克的诗对冯至产生了几乎是一生的影响,至今,冯至所翻译的里尔克的文字都是不可替代的,比如《致一个青年的信》,影响、启发了几代人,他应该是里尔克的最佳的翻译人选,但是,冯至没有翻译多少里尔克的诗。我所最早读到的是绿原翻译的《里尔克诗选》,这里,我们举他所译的《定时祈祷文》的《关于参诣圣地》的第37首:

    矿苗有怀乡病。它会
    离开造币厂和工作台,
    它们教它一种寒伧的生活。
    它将从工厂从钱柜
    返回到那被打开
    的大山的脉络
    大山将在它的身后重新关闭。

  读来挺顺,意味也够深长的,那种宗教情怀溢于言表。可是,后来在一篇文章的中间,我读到它引用的这一段,与前相较,感觉却大相径庭!作为诗人的绿原,翻译的诗却缺乏某种诗味,其传达多于表达了,在他那翻译里,里尔克是一个诗人;在这里,里尔克是一首诗:

    金属有乡愁。它意
    离开钱币和齿轮,
    它们只教给它渺小的生命。
    从工厂和金库,
    它返回敞开的山脉血管中,
    山脉將它纳入且再次关闭。

  德语是高山滚石一般的语言:硬朗、简洁,逻辑严谨,铿锵有力;而英语如风过树叶:轻盈、清晰,语法繁复,摇曳多姿。(这是否能解释一个对比:德语世界里为什么女诗人那么少,而英语世界里的女诗人如过江之鲫,不可胜数?)而里尔克的诗,按照北岛的说法:“凝重苍凉,强化了德文那冷与硬的特点”,照此理解,显然后一首的韵味更接近真实的里尔克:苍凉,凝重,深刻的痛楚和期望,都在语言的顿挫和空白之间呈现出来了,这就是德语——不,这就是德语中的诗语。

  类似例子还有我在另一篇文章里引用过的歌德的一首短诗《前题》的两个译本:

  一个是梁宗岱译的:

    一切的峰顶
    沈静,
    一切的树尖
    全不见
    丝儿风影。
    小鸟们在林间无声
    等着罢:俄顷
    你也要安静。

  另一个是钱春绮译的:

    群峰
    一片沉寂,
    树梢
    微风敛迹。
    林中
    栖鸟缄默。
    稍待
    你也安息。

  梁宗岱译的照顾到了顿和断,但是引入口语“等着罢”,并将它和雅语“俄顷”放在一起,紧接着有是大白话“你也要安静”,一起的轻重就失调了,缺乏了那种一气涌出的深沉。钱春绮译的克服这些问题,语言干净整饬,气脉贯通,将诗人那种久久凝望之后的生命感叹完整地展示了出来。

  2

  翻译是一种语言的技术,更是一种语言的艺术,而诗歌更是一个民族语言的至高地,是文学中的文学。所以翻译之中,诗歌尤难,往往是达意容易达境难,出情容易出味难。语言是什么?《约翰福音》里说:“太初有言。语言与上帝同在。语言就是上帝。万物都是籍着语言被创造的。生命在语言之中。这生命就是人的光。”在诗人那里,语言本身就是一种创造,如果仅仅是认识和交流的需要,大可不必以诗的方式,尤其是现代社会,有许多比这个更好的方式。考德威尔说:“非韵律语言的功能是在说服。这功能作为个人的功能而产生,是个人意志的延伸”。这也就是说:韵律语言的功能不仅仅在于是在说服,更多的在于浸染、沉醉,而要如斯,仅仅“说什么”是远远不够的,更要研究“怎么说”,“在什么地步说”,威廉斯认为:诗歌对于语言的要求是使之处于“在”与“不在”的中间地带。一个人的精神与世界的交汇点上。——那是一种临界的状态,一个创造的顶端!所以,在诗人那里,语言更应该是一种思考的工具、创造的工具,是生命里的光,是为万物重新命名。

  诗人应该如何对待语言?纳博克夫主张:“把语言作为一只美丽的蝴蝶来捕捉。”——极言其重中之轻;马拉美认为:作为一个现代诗人,他必须敢于想象这样一个故事:语言是可以纯洁的,诗歌的语言应该是“纯洁的部落的语言。”——极言其易中之难;而解构主义的罗兰·巴特则认为应该:“听任我们的表达能力在语言自身上滑行。”——则将人放在了语言的后边。所以,对于语言,我们必须谨慎以待,尤其是在语言狂欢的年代,诗人必须作到:拒绝流行!哪里时尚,远离哪里!

  目前,在全球一体化和区域集团化两个趋势的相摩相荡中,巴别塔的喻意更昭示着不容质疑的存在,类似于米沃什、布罗茨基那样的流亡诗人,在诗歌中,始终坚持着母语写作,因为,只有那套符号才是他们为万物重新命名的锐器,那才是他们内心的家园。语言有着强烈的民族裕澜缬镏皇歉雒篮玫奈谕邪钍降纳柘搿S绕涫鞘瑁悄茄恢帧案霰稹钡拇嬖冢蝗菽拥摹罢庖桓觥保厝淮嬖谧藕芏嗑芫谮故偷囊蛩亍K裕庞小叭魏卧亩炼际俏蠖痢薄ⅰ叭魏温凼龆际敲邸薄ⅰ叭魏畏攵际侵匦础薄ⅰ笆枋欠胫惺サ哪歉霾糠帧敝嗟母锌≌庖簿褪俏裁葱矶嗟贝缆鄱允枋а缘脑颉?

  不仅如此,即便是在自己的母语里,诗人也是有所写,有所不写的,奥登说:“由于性格上的缺陷,总有一些题材是千万不应该去触及的!”——此话诚然,每个诗人都有自己的语言的园地,尽管不断开拓,但是终有界限,那些坦言无顾忌写诗的人,他(她)不是个天才就是个白痴!至于嚎叫的金斯伯格喊出来的“一切皆可入诗!”的口号,也只是为了将他的罂粟园子搬进诗国,领到绿卡的一种策略而已!(我始终认为,金斯伯格的政治历史意义要远远大于他的诗歌意义,关于此,笔者将撰文另述。)

  所有的这些,使得我们对诗歌的翻译不能不有所怀疑,翻译家必须对那种语言了如指掌,还必须对他所要翻译的那个诗人、那个诗人生活的时代、社会有着体味式的感受,庶几方可进入翻译?而更加关键的是:他必须是被某一首诗一下子打动了,才可以进入那首诗歌,咀嚼、品味、吟咏、酝酿,最后,形成另一种语言。简而言之:翻译不应该是工作,而是一场不期而至的艳遇。那种定期完成的、对于一个诗人全景式的译介,有多少进入境界的东西?——对此,我深感怀疑。

  以前,我也满热衷于购买某个诗人的全集,以享有一种拥有的快感,现在想来,那其实是一种阅读上的占有感、知识学上的炫耀感,阅读中间,可以明显地感受到有某些闪亮的、一下子抓住你眼睛的东西,更有大量的平庸的东西充斥其间,以至于叫人怀疑起那个诗人来了,这固然与诗人的创作有关,(大诗人也有平庸之作,一个诗人有那么几首久传不衰的的佳作,就算大诗人了),翻译之过,得无责乎?所以,现在,我更相信“喜欢某首诗”,或“喜欢某个诗人的某几首诗”的真实有效性,而不是“喜欢某诗人”。——诗,应该比诗人大!

  3

  种种困惑、怀疑、思考,皆缘于语言——更确切地说:皆缘于诗的语言。诗自有诗家语。叶燮的《原诗》中提到:“可言之理,人人能言之,又安在诗人之言之?可征之事,人人能述之,又安在诗人之述之?可言之理,必有不可言之理,不可述之事,遇之于默会意象之表,而理与事无不灿然于前者也。”这里除了强调诗人要深刻体察,细微领悟之外,也点出了诗歌的语言特质——为不可言者、不可述者寻找语言,或用语言为它们命名。

  《唐诗归》里引用了岑参《还高冠潭口留别舍弟》作为诗家语的解释,可以一鉴。原诗如下:

    昨日山有信,只今耕种时。遥传杜陵叟,怪我还山迟。
    独向潭上坐,无上林下棋。东溪忆汝处,闲卧对鸬鹚。

  谭元春批:“不曰家信而曰‘山有信’,便是下六句杜陵叟寄来信矣,针线如此。末四句就将杜陵叟寄来信写在自己别诗中,人不知,以为岑公自道也。……八句似只将杜陵叟来信掷于弟看,起身便去,自己归家,与别弟等语,俱未说出,俱说出矣。如此而后谓之诗,如此看诗,而后谓之真诗人。”

  谭元春的批语有顾自矜持的一面,但也的确道出了诗家语的某些特点。诗贵含蓄,要突出形象,让彼在之“象”来说话,而不是此处之“我”来反复表白!这在语言上就要精练,叙述上要有跳动,抒情上要懂得克制。以这首诗看:起首“昨日山有信,只今耕种时。”接着不说“我该回去耕种”之意。却隔断语气,来了个“遥传杜陵叟,怪我还山迟。”——山里来信,不说来信人责怪诗人迟迟不归,而是又绕了弯子,借“杜陵叟”的口来责备诗人,“遥传”——隔得远,连住得很远的人都“怪我还山迟”,近邻、家里人就可想而知了。接下来似乎该表达“家里思念殷切,我该和你告别,该回去耕种了”之类的意思,诗人不说,而是又横隔一下,“独向潭上坐,无上林下棋。东溪忆汝处,闲卧对鸬鹚”。如果说“怪我还山迟”和上句的“只今耕种时”还有所照应,那么接下来的四句又有点叫人摸不着头脑了,细细琢磨,原来此处暗接的是“杜陵叟”,因为诗人不归,此老先生没有了伴,就不到高冠潭边的树林里找诗人喝酒下棋了,只得在东溪的家门外躺着,闲对鸬鹚感到无聊了。——极言乡情、亲情、友情,衬托诗人的急于还家心情,但是,又没有诗人自己的一点主观情绪表露,这就是“俱未说出,俱说出矣”的意思了。言说到了这个份上,说的就是“诗家语”了。

  “诗家语”非散文语,它要求凝练,要求以拟人、物化、夸张、比喻、起兴的修辞手法构成鲜明的形象性,要求在形象的、跳跃的、虚实互现的叙述中完成它的动作性,还要富于色彩性、音乐性、多感性,达到它的审美效应。但是也非程式化的语言,它需要不断吸收丰富的口语、散文语言,也就是不断的散文化来丰富自己的语汇和表现力,但是,这需要:一是有所选择,二是要有所“化”,三是要用的是地方,韩愈曾经在自己的诗里大量引入散文化的语言,但是,除了“黄昏到寺蝙蝠飞”等极少数成功范例之外,大多是失败、失效之为。纠其原因,恐怕没有注意以上三点有关吧——他引得泛滥了!

  苏轼有一首诗《太白山下早行至横渠镇书崇寿院壁》,虽系应景之作,但玩味之间,体现了这位天才诗人的拾句、化句的神奇功夫,诗如下:

    马上续残梦,不知朝日升,乱山横积翠,落日澹孤灯。
    奔走烦邮吏,安闲愧老僧。再游应眷眷,聊亦记吾曾。

  整首诗基本上合规中矩,首联点题、破题,颔联、颈联对仗、展开,尾联收束,整个书写过程就象一个线形的行走过程一样,简单、顺接、畅晓,但全诗神来之笔却是最后的那句非常散文话的句子“聊亦记吾曾”——暂且就这样把我曾到过这里的经历写在这墙壁上吧!作者将“曾”转化成名词来使用,使整个句子读起来,通畅之外还有些新奇、突兀,看似乎聊不经意,实则精心为之!一如一个长时间被贬谪、奔走、迁徙的人,初时尚能强打精神,仪容肃肃,言语循循,渐渐地就疲惫、不耐、难支了,作者开始有点自嘲自嘻了——“奔走烦邮吏,安闲愧老僧”,最后,聊且如此吧——“苏轼经此一过”,记得而已,心情如此!也许“再游应眷眷”?那就是另外一种情形下的事情了,至少不是被被贬斥、长途疲涉之后,而是消闲小游?也许,那种心情下才会产生“眷眷”之意来。

  这样的散文句子用的这个地方真恰到好处,这种信手拾来,决非随意可得,而是一个大诗人的对于形式、语言的了如指掌、娴熟使用基础上的“破”形式、“破”语言。它化用的幅度恰恰是诗人的高度,它最胆大的地方恰恰是诗人的最小心的地方。可惜的是:目前的很多诗人没有看到这点,眼往下看,使用幅度无限,而学养高度有限;胆大包心,空有超拔的胆量,而没有那份用心了。

  4

  说得越来越远了,让我们回到当下吧。总之:一切的一切,说到底就是语言!

  特雷·伊格尔顿谈及语言问题时,这样说:“语言,连同它的问题、秘密和含义,已经成为20世纪知识生活的范型与专注的对象”,的确,随着当代哲学由终极思考向现象、向语言层面的转移和逼近,也随着技术时代,信息爆炸带来的晕眩,符号、语言问题益发显得凸起、尖锐起来,法国现象学家古斯朵夫(Geouges Gusdorf)在《言说》只说道:“既有的语言已成了一种贬值了的语言,……它也是一种贫乏化的语言,变得只有公分母的意义,它还是一种失去中心的语言,处处皆中心,但却没有边岸。”所以“诗人要带给字语新生。他恢复言说的共振,他给每一个字新的情境,藉此让它原有的力量得以再现。”语言的地位也从来没有这样崇高过:“语言是存在的家”(海德格尔语);“我们本身就是语言”(加达默尔语);“语言是生命的一种形式”“我们正在与语言搏斗。我们已卷入与语言的搏斗之中”(维特根斯坦语)。所以,和前贤柏拉图相反,当代的思想家们将目光纷纷投向了语言的苦役犯——诗人们,他们寻找诗人,界定诗人:“诗人是一种重新发现语言的人,藉此他回返到自己”(古斯朵夫语),“诗人是何许人也?诗人是懂得世界没有意义的人,他们与常人不同之处首先在于,他们是通过主动赋予世界以意义来向世界索求意义的” (刘小枫语),诗人是语言的炼金术士、诗人是语言边界的开拓者、诗人是建立词语间连接关系的信使、诗人是人类通过语言认识精神世界的钥匙,等等等等;为诗人规定训条:“诗人永远从事精神的创作,永远在时代的暗夜中歌唱”(海德格尔语),“真正的诗人,应该在神性离去之时,在漫无边际的黑夜中,在众人冥冥于追名逐利、贪欲求欢之时,踏遍异国的大地,去追寻隐去的路径,追寻人失掉的灵性。……他必须无畏地伫立在神的面前,孤独一身,不管他愿意与否,他的灵魂都必须时刻承受沉重的愁绪……”(刘小枫语);他们深入诗人的作品内部去挖掘语言的秘密,寻找意义的链条,诸如海德格尔、维特根斯坦等对荷尔德林、特拉克儿的分析,堪为此类文本之经典!

  诗,从未有过如此之重!诗人,从未有过如此之沉!以至于诗人们有不堪负重的逃离感,里尔克就说过:“诗人与这个世界有着古老的敌意”,帕斯也这样说:“言语?是的,属于空气,/并在空气中消失。”折中一点的如济慈,则说:“优秀的诗人是能忍受不安的人”。当然了,始终站立,自我担当的也大有人在,例如老庞德就大声地说:“诗人是世界上最古老的种族。诗人是一个民族的触角”,这点和塞弗尔特是一直的,他说:“诗人是一个民族的良心”。我比较欣赏的是埃德温·罗宾逊的那句诗:

    我因歌唱而博得的羞辱全属于我
    我因梦想而失去的黄金全归你们。

  但是,不管是逃离也好,在场也好,游移也罢,诗人始终得面对语言,这个是逃也逃不脱的,它不是锁链,也不仅仅是工具,是诗人的命运,是生命,也是作品的肌理与内在形式。诗人们:你必须看到它的最小结构、最细微之处,它是无限生长的力量,就象博尔赫斯说的:“每个字就是一个隐喻”,它的每一次出现、连接、断开,都是一个新的世界;你必须长久地、持之以恒地研究它、体味它,包括它所有的语音、语汇、语法,那都是你的海洋、你的山脉,没有边沿,没有穷尽,永远在皈依,也永远在背叛,永远的“是”,也永远的“不是”,永远都在出发,也永远都在返回,你始终在路上——尽管你知道家在何处,但你永远到不了家。所以,这是一生的跋涉,象西西弗的命运一样,你要不倦翻越,不惮反复,不怕从低处再来,你的态度要象波特莱尔那样“一生都用来构思如何造句遣词”。

  希尼说过:“诗歌来自第一人称单数,而不是来自第一人数复数,即来自‘我’而不是‘我们’”,而怎样深入语言的内部去挖掘自己的声音,去寻找自己独特的存在意义,去淘洗自己的诗的语言,有关论述恐怕连“帧贴浩繁”这个词也难以括略,更有效的不在理论,在实践,在时间。有个大诗人说过这样一段话,大意谓:我可以教你各种作爱的方式,可是,我该怎样教你一见倾心呢?——话随粗了点,道理没错!

  所以,悟道非一途,目标确是一定的——那就是语言之内!到底怎样进入?还是引用盛慧的一段文字来作为最简单的回答并结束这个话题吧:

  “所谓语言,对于作家和诗人来说,就是对语言的忠诚和背叛,这两者同样是必要的。……真正能够经得起时间遴选的作品,都是一个很重要的特点,那就是它是作为一种个体的经验而存在的,它的存在是一种独特的、纯粹的声音,这些要求都给语言带来有形或者无形的压力。背叛在这里是一个中性词,它是改造的前奏。背叛语言,首先是切开语言,进入语言的内部,找到一条属于自己的隐秘道路。这一切,只有一个目的——更准确、更迅速、更新鲜地抵达作品的中心——安居在语言中的神。”

  5

  文章结束之后,笔者在论坛上又看见了一段翻译,所译的是叶芝的一首诗,现将一节原文和译文放到一起,我们来看看问题在哪里:

    I look behind at the fading byway, 我回头看那渐渐远去的小路,
    And see on its slope ,now glistening wet , 那雨水润湿莹莹的坡地,
    Distinctly yet. 这时仍能清晰的看见。

  这里尤其是最后的一句,太害怕交代不清楚了,笔笔俱到,不惮冗复,语言就落于诗外了,在我看来,只要“依然清晰”四字足矣,诸位以为呢?

  在和小诗友冰言谈到这个问题时,他说诗里“有许多空心的饿句子”——此语精彩!我闻之一振,马上临机得句:

    词语有饥饿
    它在等待那言说者,为它
    填进果实的香气

  现下的许多诗写,我称之为“奢侈的诗”,它们用起词语来太大方了,有一种花花公子的出手姿态,而此中的意义有限得很,所以,每个词语的所得是很少的,扩而大之,对一首诗来讲,每个句子的所得也是很少的,大批饿句子必然带来一首注水的诗——量大不顶饥,更没有什么嚼头了。

  于此,只能默默祝愿了!愿我们的诗人:

  每个词语都能饱满地支撑起句子!
  每个句子都能饱满地支撑起诗!

Mother's Day Poem

星期四 二月 22, 2007 5:45 pm

If I could match your love
on this special Mother's day,
peace would follow the dove
while blossoms happily sway.

If I could spread your love,
on this joyful Mother's day,
angels would dance above
and children won't dismay.

Mother’s love will make us fly
and sing in a soft tune,
Mother’s love will make us try
to shine like the full moon.

But I hear my mother say:
God is ultimate Love.
Let us honor Jesus today,
Let us dwell in God,
receive unconditional love
and the kindest mercy.

Thus we all feel the power,
as today we embrace pure love,
sing this song of cheer:
Praise God’s might,
Treasure God's love.

To write for my son's piano teacher, she wants her students to sing a poem before their mother in Mother's Day.

每年这时候我总惦记着鲜花和礼物,,,每年都空空...
今年我不再惦记了,我抱着你新买的热水袋入睡.

亲爱的,那个旧的破了,我挤在你身边吸暖,半夜里还把自己的冰脚搁过去...搞得你睡不好,你却也不埋怨,只是惦记着给我买了新的.

很多我自己的事情都忘了,但你都记得给我理好...

亲爱的,我们有不少磨合,但慢慢地我们学会了原谅,也很幸福.

请原谅,我一直忙着自己和孩子,忙着自己的梦,但我渐渐懂得有些事情可以慢慢做, 感情和家庭却是更重要的.我会开始学着放弃,放弃一些机会和爱好.

亲爱的,我们也只有我们自己这一辈子...没有谁来为我们创造幸福.
谢谢你一直支持我和宽容我.

Valentine Day

星期二 二月 13, 2007 9:42 am



Valentine Day

In my dream,
On a perfect blue ocean,
I see us two swans with pure wings.

Clinging to each other,
we embrace this moment
an eternal reflection,
with one heart to join.

Bygones fade away as grey clouds,
mountains hush to witness

Love is our Valentine's day to share,
on the perfect blue ocean,
I see us a love icon and joint ring.

The Moment

星期三 一月 17, 2007 10:34 pm

This early spring is alive with desire.
Willows dangle fresh twigs that softly sing
beside the stream where reeds flaunt bright green fire
and hugging the shore, a swan preens its wing.

As I wander alone, thinking of you,
Polar trees whisper and flocks of birds soar.
My footsteps descend in cascades of blue,
I wonder where we'd join wings of our core.


Yet this moment's hush, I cannot forget
Love and being loved to embrace each scene.
When time goes by, I will never regret
I’ve witnessed each moment with its own sheen.

Petals will wither and wings will be worn,
I'd rather treasure this moment than mourn.

再读洛夫

星期二 一月 16, 2007 10:32 pm

那场大雪
一夜之间
席卷了
裸露的山峦.

放眼平川,
阳关渡我
穿越时光隧道.

路不断滋长,
心情飞奔,
尽头却
空茫茫一片.

拾阶而上,
一抹薄雾
如你晾晒的长衫.

月光下
一只青鸟
伏起,
又落下
影子比梦长…

荆棘丛中 (Between The Thorns)

星期日 一月 14, 2007 10:37 pm

On our bed,
we lie like flatfish.
Outside, stars grow old.
A white cocoon
casts itself on the river,
beneath grey silence.

Between the thorns,
blackberries bleed.
They remember
once being the fire,
led the moth,
flapping wings
to flaming passion.

----

在荆棘之间

躺在床上,
我们象两条干鱼.
窗外,星空苍老.
一枚白色的茧
投射自己在河面上.
在灰色的沉寂下面.

荆棘之间,
黑草莓流着血.
她们记得
曾经象一团火,
引领着飞蛾,
歙动的羽翼,
扑向燃烧的热情.

I am so lucky

星期六 一月 13, 2007 6:41 pm

This morning was very slippery.

I was driving my son to his Chinese shcool. When I tried to stop at a stop sign, I found I could not stop. I only could watch my car slip ahead, into another car. I was panic and steered my car to another direction.

It still slipped and made a big turn. Luckily there were no more cars. The car driver saw that I could not stop, he steered his car to another direction too.

So within a short distance, we missed each other. I was finally relaxed.

So I reminded myself being very careful. Sometimes it is too easy to have a change.

My son said we were lucky.

And my speech is improving.

The best thing is I have more close friends now.

I believe happiness is not to obtain everything you want but to appreciate everything you have.


Yesterday I worked late to solve problem, today my colleague say thank you very much. I am really glad.

To be helpful and happy, people will like to work with you.

Take care, my friends!

Toast To Happiness

星期二 一月 09, 2007 9:52 pm

Toast to Happiness

I confess, I confide and I praise
happiness is the ultimate treasure in our life.
We pursue it with big-opened eyes and stretched arms,
and fall in an empty valley full of self greed.
We continue to hunter it in this way
and our mind is blind.

Now my dear friends, if I tell you
happiness is not by obtaining everything you want,
but by appreciating everything you have.
Would you listen? would you agree?
would you toast?

Whatever you decide to choose, You make your own toast!

Toast to Happiness!

Today's workshop

星期六 一月 06, 2007 8:55 pm

Elka is a very good person, a good organizer.

Each time she will set a theme for our next meeting.

Each meeting will start with the according topic, every one takes his turn.

Then we do poetry reading and sharing. Interesting thing is most of us are women.

This afternoon we share the topic about personal journey of beginning poetry. We start to know each other more and know the value and the purpose of poetry is not only for ourselves, but also for others.

It is amazing to see how similar we are, both in western world and in orient culture.

Poet used to be a very elegant role in the society, but now it is devalued. People think poets are insane.

But Elka is very strong and tough too. She calls upon us to admit us poet and be proud.

She managed to ask the mayor to sign the paper to support the poets group and events.
Thus this year we will have full local events for poetry month. And we will have poetry workshop for all levels to promote poetry and attract local residents.

Each time after the meeting, I always feel my passion refilled. It always lets me keep going.

I will sign up for the two free workshops soon and help to support their work.

Interesting Numerology Mini-Reading

星期三 一月 03, 2007 11:26 am

Numerology Mini-Reading for Anna

---I try it for a free evaluation--- here it is.(cool)

(http://www.Numerologist.com )

Anna, your Life Path of 5 ...


You are about freedom, independence and the right to follow where your heart and gut-instincts lead you in life. You are an inquisitive soul with many questions that can only be answered through travel, exploration and experiencing a variety of life situations. For this reason you are likely to relocate to various cities or countries during your life and also entertain a number of life partners as opposed to just one soul mate.

You are best suited to freelance work or being your own boss as stuffy offices and rigid routines are deadly to your imagination and soul. You are a great lover of human nature as well as one of it's greatest observers, which is why you would make a good archaeologist, historian, writer, journalist, reporter or artist.

You are great at dealing with people and also do well in any "front line" occupation. For instance many crisis workers, emergency care workers and leaders of self- groups are fives. You need a job that allows you to meet a lot of people as well as brings you a variety of interesting experiences.

You also have quite a spiritual bent to your personality that may send you on many personal vision quests. It is not unusual for a 5 to also belong to many different religions during his or her life or suddenly in mid-life to drop everything in pursuit of a life-style that is the complete opposite of the former one.

One of your challenges is learning how to not waste time. Your perception of time is somewhat distorted which is why you are often late to meetings or sometimes unable to meet deadlines. Novelties and new ideas also easily distract you so sometimes it is difficult for you to choose a career or lifestyle and stick with it. As a result, others may also find you indecisive and frustrating to deal with.

Another challenge that you face on your life path is being overly irresponsible. Many 5's have a habit of taking off when the going gets rough. You tend be quite casual about your relationships and have a great deal of trouble managing any type of emotional crisis. You may even experience panic at the idea of commitment, as you don't like the idea of being responsible to another person. For this reason, many of you have a number of serial relationships rather than just one life long love.

If you are unable to physically escape circumstances that you can't emotionally handle or don't like, you are also prone to escaping through substance abuse. This is part of the unpleasant self-indulgent trait that is part of many number 5 personalities.

Finding one focus and sticking with it is definitely your biggest life challenge. Most 5's are multitalented but they never stay in one place long enough for one of their projects to grow and blossom. Seeing things through to completion is the best way to make sure that you don't suffer poverty or bitterness in your later years.

One of your greatest talents is the ability to communicate, either verbally or through the written word. Your expansive observations of life plus your ability to see all points of view makes you an excellent teacher. Most 5's end up teaching at one point in their life so others can benefit from the rich tapestry of their life experience.

You are also a daring spirit that has a love of adventure. You are usually very physically fit and enjoy good health for your entire life if you stay away from overindulging in drink and food.


Anna, your Expression of 3 ...
Your Potential Natural Talents and Abilities


You are at the height of your self-expression when you feel that others are experiencing "being high on life" like you are. One of your personal goals may be to uplift humanity or spread joy or enthusiasm wherever you go. You know how to unite others through the magic of performance, song dance, singing, acting or literature. For this reason, you are fated to entertain others in some way, whether you are in showbiz or not!

You are imaginative in every way possible. As you are a great innovator your career choice may be unorthodox in some way. You consider the accumulation of experiences to be your greatest wealth so you may choose a career in which you travel a lot so you can meet as many people and encounter as many different kinds of situations as possible.

You love to dare to be grand and this is reflected in your mannerisms and speech. You often speak in full paragraphs and are a captivating storyteller. You often throw your entire body into your self-expression so that it is one with what you are saying. For this reason many of you make incredible actors, opera singers, teachers or performers.

You also have a natural dexterity that makes it easy for you to learn and play music. Threes are often blessed with a natural sense of comic timing as well as rhythm. This makes you an excellent dancer and lover.

You love philosophy and the old cliches that are true in life so when you feel lost emotionally you rely on wise words to get you through. You rarely take anything that happens to you in life personally, a trait that frustrates your enemies to no end. This ability to let stuff "roll off your back" serves you well in the many complex emotional situations that threes often get into.

You relate better to large groups of people then you do one on one. As threes are often no shows in their family lives and rarely have time to pay attention to their lovers they are likely to show their affection by giving lavish gifts. However this is often perceived by others as an attempt to buy others affection or as a lousy substitute for real emotional support.

As you adore being in the spotlight you probably dress to impress. Either you dress in the latest trendy fashions or in an eccentric fashion that makes it impossible for others not to notice you. As you are an oddly sentimental creature, you are fond of heirlooms and one of a kind jewelry and clothing that sets you apart from the crowd.

One of the greatest gifts you have to offer others is your boundless optimism and enthusiasm for life. Others who meet you rarely forget you as you always make a permanent first impression.

Although on the surface you might appear to be a bit shallow to others usually you are motivated by the desire to have others transcend petty emotions and pains in life. Nothing annoys you more than a person that insists on looking down at his shoes when he could be looking up at a big wide sky full of stars. The ultimate achievement of your life expression is to change the consciousness of others so that they aspire to their highest ideals. One way that you do this by continually reminding them through your actions that these ideals can be manifested through kind and wise action on earth.

Anna, your Soul Urge of 9 ...

What You Desire To Be, To Have, and To Do In Your Life


The highest expression of your soul's urge is to connect in a mystical way with others. Although your aspirations are lofty, you are also a humanitarian who is often gifted with a sharp intuition and keen analytical skills. Often you give up opportunities that should be yours, simply to help another. This is because your faith in yourself, god and the future is so strong that you live by your conviction that the universe is always unfolding as it should.

Others simply do not possess your spiritual sophistication and may be amused or repelled by what they see as your irrational talk or beliefs. You may be accused of being stupid or foolish simply because you won't take the bait (of a job or money) at the expense of your ethics. Compared to the other numbers, you excel at letting go of lovers or opportunities simply because you know you can't take emotions and material goods with you when you die.

As you are driven more by compassion than common sense, you are the first to fall on your sword for a worthy cause. You may often be broke because you see money only as a tool of change. You would much rather spend money on art, charity or a trip. In fact, ostentatious displays of wealth anger and disgust you because your ideal is a world where all humans are equal.

You might appear very eccentric to others who don't quite understand your fascination with the spiritual world or your insistence on being a seeker of truth. Furthermore nines tend to get carried away when it comes to trying to heal or connect to others. The biggest mistake you could make is to try and be an "agent of karma" by meddling or interfering in other people's affairs.

As you are so talented psychically, you often become a liability in business simply because people in authority resent your ability to perceive their secrets. You rarely rise very high on the corporate ladder simply because others see you as a threat to their cloak of political intrigue.

You have a soul that must be continually assured and fed with new sources of spiritual information. To stay healthy, your psyche may require that you make special trips to holy or mystical places. You may have to seek out special teaching to help you understand and cultivate your talents so that you are in control, as opposed to terrorized by them. Being able to foresee the future or see through other people is often painful, so some therapy might be required in your life to help you detach from your own sensitivity.

One of the sins you are most vulnerable to is spiritual pride. This can bring you situations that cause your faith to be seriously tested or where your pride can take a big fall. Many nines often find themselves subject to a lesson in becoming humble by the cosmos simply because they were too boastful of their talents. Making money off of your psychic talents may also cause you some problems, as part of your path is to heal without the expectation of reward. If you are working professionally as a psychic and are a nine, then remember to tithe at least one tenth of your earnings towards a worthy cause. However the highest calling of your soul urge is to share your intuitive talents for free.

Tonight's story

星期二 一月 02, 2007 11:23 pm

My son will change to a new school soon. To build his confidence, I help him a lot for reading.

He is a very open and happy boy, though I should not worry, I still wish there is an easier way for his transferring.

His teacher and classmates made a special book for him and he was asked to write letter to them often. I was glad to know he would be missed by a lot of friends and his teacher.

Lately he developped addiction to games. I told his dad not to download that stuff. But man had his own opinion. So we set a strict rule for him. He always begs me for playing game.
But I know the dearest in his heart is me.

Tonight I read Snow White to him, when it gets to the end, he asks me if I would die. I say no. He say how about you are too old. "Yes, then I will". He starts to cry.
I promise him I won't die forever.
Sometimes it is very difficult to explain death to kid.
So I could not imagine how other kids encounter the experience of their parents' tragedy.

For my son, I want to be the most happy and healthy mother in the world.

I know parent are the mirror to reflect the path of their children.

for all these years, I keep happy and show happiness and love to my son, the same and best reward returns to me.

In our life, family with love is very important. In our child's life, the love could be endless.

Hope everyone come to read this could enjoy his/her life, love and take care of his/her family.

That is the most important. Happy New Year.

缪斯之恋 (献给诗歌女神)

星期六 十二月 23, 2006 10:36 am

最初折射我的梦,
是一束光
照亮我的影
驱散开阴霾
我看见自己
一滴清泪
跌落

咸湿的心
在你的手心
展开一条
未知的幽径
我站在你的目光下
疯长,
丰盈而美丽

一朵独放的莲荷,
我们忧伤地对望
失声痛哭.

梦开始不加掩饰地
装饰天边的风景
夜是张开的翅膀,
飞过我的窗櫺,
夜莺来了又去…
歌声中种下了
四季张望的相思

我长成向日葵的守望
开始逐日的欣喜,
万千的箭啊,
一次次出发,
却回到终点,
沉沉的夜,
我看见忧郁的草原,
风中燎燎地烧。

星星如此灿烂而遥远,
熠熠闪硕的莲池
写满倒影,
也写满了陨落的黎明.

我不放弃旅行,
开始独自歌唱,
开成一字一句的诗行,
让常青藤一样的思念
载走时光之河,
在你照亮的地方,
把自己播种在你的心上.

6 wish lists

星期五 十二月 22, 2006 2:06 pm

I read Christmas story to Jason last night. He asked me," why I didn't get any gifts from Santa?"
I replied," You didn't make your wish list"

Then he said to me, " I will write 6 wish lists to him this year."

"Why?" "Because I am 6 years old. I missed all my previous gifts."

"Ok, you make your list, then we will wait and see if Santa will bring to you."

Here is his wish lists.
1. Lego toy
2. Truck
3. truck trailor
4. seeds
5. a book
6. gift card

So tonight I will prepare for his lists and hide them,
wait the time come to hang near the fireplace.

Lucky Jason, he believe in Santa.

I heard some stories from our friends... her daughter now 12 years old and cried when was told Santa was not real. and her gifts came from parents...

Sometimes truth hurts.

So I will try to keep the secret for Jason as long as I could. I want to see his face light up and to watch he tugs all his toys to sleep.

Merry Christmas!

My Haiku

fallen pink petals
lay a quiet path to heaven
beckon light footsteps


cherry blossoms boom
Princess Snow White's dream, trumpet
on the stretching tree.

------------
Silent night

Stars boom the night sky,
polish snow's dream that trumpets
on the stretching tree.


---
Cocoon

Unwrapping a dream,
beauty inside reveals truth:
change never ceases.
(selected in an anthology “Bright Future” in 2005)

Moon (Haiku)
Moon wanders alone
above the silvery street
spinning thread till dawn


Autumn (Haiku)
Maple leaves quilt hills
with red, yellow and crimson,
in fall's rushing steps.

Yunnan (senryu)
Yunnan in trees
where peacocks dance to the south
of colorful clouds
(Published in North American Chinese media in 2005)



Snow (published in Verse Afire)
(1)
The silent night sets
a white quilt slipping fields
blesses a new day


(2)
dandelions settle
with a vow of peaceful world
beckon white snow's dream

怀念舅舅

星期四 十二月 14, 2006 12:00 pm

很好的人,一生没享到福,能享受时,却病痛在身...
走了...也许是对他的解脱吧

两年前,写了...


I fear to visit my uncle,
Since a stroke took away the real one,
A happy and warm soul.

A jouncy figure,
A dull face,
A shaky hand,
A strayed mind…

I hope he never feel what I feel,
I hope my smile to him is real,
But I cannot help weeping in a corner,
And pray for any hope.

Mom told me a lot of stories,
unfolding many of his past misfortune;
Under the firm surface,
that sad and fragile heart hidden…

Now he bears nothing,
the heart was taken away
and the surface was broken.
Through his dark eyes,
I hope to see a smile,
and a peace world.

生活琐事

有时并不是得到了才开心,LET GO 也是一种洒脱...

就象树叶,落下去是为了根更好的生存,如果漫天长枝,生虫,严冬就面临险境.

给儿子讲大自然的生态时,不免感慨...什么都得到的会开心吗,失去的也许永远无法计量?

所以遗憾也是一种美.

就象我们并不去满足儿子的很多要求,哪怕我们能够做到,从小让他知道和接受这个世界不是他一个人的.

现在,他很会让步,也知道什么可以做,什么不可以去要求. 所以他现在更开心,更懂事.

自己最喜欢的 旧作<<无从知晓>>

星期二 十二月 12, 2006 3:56 pm




你问我是否了解你——
时至今日,我依然记得
那古老的河流,石头:
像鸟儿振翅,
芦苇遮掩着呢喃。

你的手捧托着于我手
一如萌开着的百合
在芦苇苍茫的河床。
细雨帘幕般低垂
群星怒放--直到黎明

现在或以后,
我伫立于自己的阴影,
倾听它们坠落——
在寂静中。

当时光带走我,
回声犹在重语——
追忆已是枉然。


Beyond My Knowing

You ask if I know you--
by now, I still remember
the old river, stones:
flapped like birds,
reeds covered whispers.

Your hands cupped mine
as a sprouting lily
among the white reed bed.
Curtain-like drizzle dangled
and stars bloomed till dawn.

Now or later,
I stand by my shadow;
listen to their falling--
in quiescence.

As time takes me,
an echo repeats--
reminiscence is fruitless

旧作 (峦山之行)

星期二 十二月 12, 2006 3:35 pm

二十年后的今天,
你来信问询,
记否峦山之行?

说那青翠的山林,
郁郁葱葱的心情;
说那乡土的地铺,
野旷天低的星云。

光阴的流逝
刻在了久远的记忆里。
如今的山林
空落得映照自己的身影,
那溶洞还是深不可及,
只有风和着潮涌,
或明或灭的烛影里,
你听见足音飘远…

沉沉的字句
抖不开夜的黑,
你说,
回味是重聚的黎明。

The Trip to Lan Hill

After twenty years,
Today, I receive your mail,
asking if I still remember
the trip to Lan Hill.

You mention the lush forest
where aromas of peaches refined.
You recall the sparse camp site,
the serene, starry night.

The flow of time buried
in that remote memory
bubbles to the surface again.

With shadows of an empty forest,
and trembling candle light,
the echoes gone faded.

Night is dark,
I hear your words,
memory is
the first sunray of dawn.

翻译有感

星期四 十二月 07, 2006 1:58 pm

这次酷我诗评,为了支持这样的交流活动,征得蔡利华的同意,我翻译了他的月光.

其实他更优秀的诗歌很多,而我挑了对我来说比较容易的诗歌来翻.

真正翻译的时候发现还是难度很大…改了几稿. 由于美国”诗天空”的主编绿音向我约稿,我就发给她了…
同时我也挑了林静的诗歌<<冬日>> ,并向诗天空推荐这些优秀的诗人.

绿音和我是由我一年前投稿认识的,她爽快真诚,很认真,不怎么去说客套话,选用的稿件一般看中新颖性和独创性. 我给她们翻译了一些诗歌,来往书信主要就是稿件,大家都忙,都很理解.

翻译林静的诗歌,除了感谢她来信要我的诗歌在新文学上登载,更重要的原因是她的诗歌意象丰富,时代沧桑感强,与我的风格完全不同. 我想尝试一下不同风格的翻译.
很高兴去试了,因为翻译之后我更喜欢和理解了.

很高兴绿音马上同意录用在 第九期,十期上.

除了自己的双语诗歌写作和发表,我很高兴能帮到其他优秀诗人. 以后有时间会再选一些朋友的诗歌.多多尝试.

我的SNOW (HAIKU)两首将发表在VERSE AFIRE.
另一首(英文诗) 获第八届国际诗比赛荣誉奖….前几个月很忙,以后慢慢写,
本地诗人活动很多,每月的活动都受益不少. 我也答应了很多本地诗人的翻译,

林靜诗歌翻译

記憶
林静

古老的皇城上
挂著一面旗
拂曉
鄉下飛來的小針
刺穿旗面
流出了液體
滴往城牆下
花兒因此而盛開
四處充滿飄逸的腥腥香氣
再度的號角奏響又中停
唯一留下的是那盤旋在空中
無法抹去的餘音.


Memory

On the ancient
royal castle,
a flag hangs.
At dawn, tiny needles
from the countryside
pierce the flag.
Its liquid outflows
and drips along the old wall,
helping flowers beneath to bloom.
Fragrant fills the air all around.
Again a horn blows then halts,
leaving the echo
hover above
without stopping.

What is art and what does it bring to you?(Speech 16th)

星期三 十一月 29, 2006 4:43 pm

What is art and what does it bring to you?

What is Art? Before our seminar begins, I want to ask you a question? What is Art?

It is a simple question, but hard to answer.

Why? Because every one has his own definition of art.

In dictionary, Art is defined:

An application of human creativity that has some form of appreciative value, usually on the basis of aesthetic value or emotional impact. Much about art is controversial, including what specific cases can be considered such.

So even in dictionary, it is aware Art is controversial.

Today we are not going to debate how to define art, but to understand art and try to build the bridge towards art and our life.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Here I will provide three paintings. (one kind of form of art, oil painting) For each painting, I will ask you to take a close look and try to feel it; try to pull your personal understanding or relationship from it. Then I will go through my own experience and feelings about these arts as a demonstration.

The first painting: A windy afternoon (Paint By William Marr)
Please take a look. How do you feel? Do you feel anything? What is inside?
Do you feel its emotional impact? Good. Right. That is art. You feel it now.

Now let me read what I feel about it: …..(read PowerPoint screen which display the poem A windy afternoon)

Standing here
Listen to the piercing winds.

Once,wings of
flying hearts,
Now, shattered
And fallen.

Gasping for our last breath,
Where could we find
our final peace?


The second painting: Captains Quarters (Paint By Barry McCarthy)
Now this is a kind of puzzle, hard to feel but you are assure something mysterious there…
You may wonder if it is a real scene. Why the artist highlight the window and the bell, one is modern, one is ancient? Great!
Now it brings us to think, not only to feel…
When I talked with McCarthy about this painting, I asked the same question now you are wondering. He told me it was not the real scene. The real one only had a window, but he wanted to add some mystery inside to reveal some kind of waiting and hope…

For me, without knowing the artist’s thoughts, I interpreted the painting as two poems: (Blue) & (Captains Quarters)

Blue

The ancient well
hides its depth,
under rotten rims.

Stylish window displays,
shut
beyond this muted scene.

Nobody fetches water
from the well.
Inside or outside,
are only shadows.

Captains Quarters

The ancient bell
hides its stories,
under rotten rims.

Stylish window displays,
shut
beyond this muted scene.

Nobody recalls
its victory.
Inside or outside,
are only shadows.


You see, it is ok to interpret the art by your own thoughts, insight.

The third painting is: Reading on the beach.
This is very ordinary picture, you may say. When I see it, I feel the same. It is very hard for me to appreciate the value or the beauty there.
Any one wants to contribute his view? Let us see how different people can relate to art and pull different meanings or views?

Any one wants to provide us how you view this painting?

Discussion continues.

In the end, let me conclude today’s seminar. What is art? How to relate it?

Ladies and Gentlemen: It is up to you! It is you to appreciate what else you relate to. Art is inside you and what you need to do is to listen to your heart and pull it out.

Thanks!

月光和湖边的变奏
蔡利华作品

The variation of moonlight and the lake

"Life is a one-way journey."
When you say that,
the moon floats out from trees,
stars glimmer faraway.

Your words strike waves on the lake,
somber and sad your face is reflected
in the silvery light.
The wind halts on branches,
mountain submits fade away.

I swim dreamily to the center of the lake.
Dark streams flow up the back of my hand.
I cannot explain--
my entire path has been curved and hidden,
while ancient life still shines under the moon,
leaves rustle in the dark,
ripples resonate with tonight's passion
In my heart I believe there is no single moment
the same as tonight
and the wind will never be identical.

I meet your staring, swallow the sorrow
of the piercing moonlight.
We wander under the moon
and watch the lush branches
of the Ginkgo tree cradle the bright moon.

We watch the turning glory of tonight's lake.
I say to you, "I will leave such beauty behind."
You gaze faraway, fail to capture my deep sigh.

Years later,
I will be back here again.
When I think of you,
the same moon will rise in my heart.
The breeze will still blow;
yet my hair will turn grey.
The old ginkgo tree will witness
my unchanged faith and my ordinary life.
Though your illumination may not stay,
your face is carved eternally
inside my poem since this night.

他山之石,可以攻玉;别处娇女,尽读好书(哈哈)

借用了...



这里还没下雪,
已经十二月了,
红叶还在飘零.
大地缓缓收拢,
预期一场漫漫大雪.

心如茧卷缩,
停靠背后孤零的树,
七零八落的针扎下,
何处子归啼鸣?

把自己再一次
关在诗外,
默默诉说,
风中珍重.

简单的幸福 (祝大家快乐)

星期日 十一月 26, 2006 3:22 pm

静下心,调皮的我远走,
慢慢地体会我想要的
也是别人想要的,
我不能改变别人,
只能去改变自己.

不去幻想梦的深处,
就让我拥有一份简单的幸福,
一份平和的心态
珍惜简单的幸福.

(你快乐,我也会快乐.)

午后的风 (看非马老师的画有感)

星期五 十一月 24, 2006 3:44 pm



A windy afternoon

Standing here
Listen to the piercing winds.

Once,wings of
flying hearts,
Now, shattered
And fallen.

Gasping for our last breath,
Where could we find
our final tranquility?

站在这里,
静听风如刀割.

曾经,飞扬的心,
此刻羽翼
碎裂,脱落.

摒住残余的呼吸,
何处寻求
最终的安宁?

再挑战自己(诗配画)

向晚

那只是梦境,
你抛出的网
始终没有落下,
在空中飘成红袖

落下的是夕阳
红肿的眼睛,
聚成光亮的焦点,
停驻
曾经漂泊的红尘.

Hands of white pencils
point up high and burst into
splendid clouds faraway
