月, 从两年前开始, 就染上了忧伤。

两年前的626日, 我很喜欢的MJ凝成了永远的Legend。今天早上起来, 发现Summer真正开始了, 孩子们也不用上令他们焦头烂额的中文学校了。我从书架上抽出5张我收藏的MJDVD,把小企鹅们叫跟前说:两年前的今天MJ去世了, 我们今天看张他的歌舞蝶纪念他, 你们挑一张吧。 姐弟俩由于我的影响,也听过看过不少MJ的表演, 对他的很多歌都耳熟能详, dangerouswill you be thereblack and white,(他们的最爱, 估计最爱的是Macaulay Culkin把他老爸震上天的那段恶作剧吧)等等等等, 所以他们挑了这张Dangerous

还是那样令人动容,特别是看到他在1993年的Grammy Award的发奖仪式上所做的演讲时,那真诚的独白,那对全世界孩子们,特别是那些身处贫困的, 生病的孩子们的发自内心的关怀与支持, 无不让人心生敬佩与感动。就像他歌中唱的

“There is a place in your heart

And I know that it is love

And this place could be much brighter than tomorrow……”

就象他画面中出现的那样, heal the world 有时并不需要飞机大炮, 一个创可贴就行了。可是每天扭开电视, 不是这里爆炸, 就是那里叛乱,不知什么时候this place could be much brighter than tomorrow

喜欢极了他的这段speechwhat a warm- hearted human being he is hope he’s doing great in Heavan too

My childhood was completely taken away from me. There was no Christmas, there were no birthdays, it was not a normal childhood, nor the normal pleasures of childhood - those were exchanged for hard work, struggle, and pain , and eventually material and professional success. But as an awful price, I cannot re-create that part of my life. However, today, when I create my music, I feel like an instrument of nature. I wonder what delight nature must feel when we open our hearts and express our God-given talents. The sound . . . of approval rolls across the universe, and the whole world abounds in magic. Wonder fills our hearts, for what we have glimpsed, for an instant, the playfulness of life.

And that's why I love children and learn so much from being around them. I realise that many of our world's problems today - from the inner city crime, to large scale wars and terrorism, and our overcrowded prisons - are a result of the fact that children have had their childhood stolen from them. The magic, the wonder, the mystery, and the innocence of a child's heart, are the seeds of creativity that will heal the world. I really believe that.

What, what we need to learn, what we need to learn from children isn't childish. Being with them connects us to the deeper wisdom of life which is everpresent, and only asks to be lived. They know the solutions that lie waiting to be recognised within our own hearts. Today, I would like to thank all the children of the world, including the sick and deprived . . . I am so sensitive to your pain.

喔喔喔, 你女儿都哈佛毕业了?看来你离做“稀奇老岳母”是越来越近了哈。我还是买了那个杯子, 更玄乎的是VE RI TAS 不仅分印成了三段, 还分做两行(TAS在第二行),你说他们是不是故意的?想整我们这些腋下不夹报纸的老百姓?(那老头据那个cashier说是学校里的一老教授)。

现在终于明白了, 确实是鸟语,这就不怪我了。 不过古希腊罗马里的Goddess实在是太多了, 都怪那个花心大罗卜宙斯, 他得有多少mistress啊?不知生产出多少各式各样的小Goddess,以前看希腊神话故事看得我晕头转向,一头雾水, 到现在都没搞明白那个花心大罗卜到底有多少mistress, 你知道么?

Typo.应为:

至于为什么印成VE RI TAS,"像哪国的鸟语一样",不知是不是为了故意激发人们追求知识和真理的热情呢?
丽雅 回复 悄悄话 回复breezebrook的评论:

Hehe,参观学校也有Early Decision 吗?俺是去参加女儿的毕业典礼,天天暴晒、腐败、握手、微笑。~~~~

哈哈,那个giftshop cashier真逗,我还不时见过这种人呢,不知所云乱弹琴。~~~ 不过那位腋下夹着一叠报纸准备匆匆出门的一个老头讲得对哦,VERITAS 是罗马神话里的“真理之神”(Goddess of Truth),印在杯子上大概是表示哈佛是一个追求真理的学府吧。至于为什么印成VE RI TAS,像哪国鸟语一样,就不知故意激发人们最求知识和真理的热情呢?后来你买那杯子了吗?

你的女儿好可爱哦,将来肯定会享福。
breezebrook 回复 悄悄话 回复丽雅的评论:

你三个礼拜前就去了? early decision啊?我朋友家的小孩要上高中了, 我是随他们去参观学习的, 我们家那俩小学还没毕业,还可以做很多年混混呢。JJ说了, I like Harvard because it's a good place for shopping;but I don't want go to Harvard because they have a lot of extra homeworks.

有趣的是我在一个gift shop里买了一个杯子, 上面写着VE RI TAS。我很纳闷, 就问cashier这是什么意思, 那家伙脱口而出“Virginia”, 我说那是“VA, how about RI? Rhode Island?doesn't make any sence”。 那家伙连连说“I don't know, I
don't know.” 我想了半天也不知这杯子该不该买(我可不想象有些老外在手背上刺个“傻瓜”字样的刺青哈)。这时就看到那个cashier突然拦住一个腋下夹着一叠报纸准备匆匆出门的一个老头问那杯子上写的是嘛意思。 那老头想都不想就说到T-R-U-T-H, 说完扭头就走了, 留下我们这群傻瓜呆在那, 到现在都没整明白那是哪国鸟语。你知道么?

你去哈佛了?我三个星期前刚从哈佛回来,哈哈,岂不是差点碰上你了?从小就帮助孩子树立目标,好!
昨晚去看了喜剧电影“Bridesmaids”,放松一下,回家路上顺便看了天空上的焰火。这两天断断续续在看网上吹得厉害的电视剧《旗袍》,整个一个《色·戒》的拖长版,可能看不下去了...~~~~

问好!

丽雅好!刚刚从Boston回来,带俩小朋友去“上”哈佛去了。那个tour guide 是个Harvard 的Sophomore ,他对我说:“我妈看到你一定很生气, 你一分钱不花就进了Harvard, 孩子那么小就带来进Harvard, U made a lot of parents jealous。”哈哈, 是啊, 孩子这时候最好玩, 想去six flags?NO way。 let's go to Harvard。他们要永远都这样多好啊!长大了不知得有多少世事等着他们去面对,特别是对情感比较细腻的人,精神上的痛苦是一把看不见的利刃,那些莫名其妙,铺天盖地的诽谤,中伤排山倒海地涌向MJ,他那么真诚,善良,象孩子一样纯洁的心,得经过多少煎熬啊!让我们永远都记住他。

同祝国庆快乐! 看焰火愉快!
丽雅 回复 悄悄话 我喜欢MJ小时候的表演“It was a very good year","I will be there", "My Girl"。好可爱!他真是一个舞台上的天才。

真希望他没有长大,永远这么cute,这样,他就不会受成年后的那些精神上和肉体上的苦。

祝微风国庆节快乐,很高兴认识你!
