不是一封信。

早幾天，洗衣服時，忽然想起你。Ｃ說你洗恤衫時，要把恤衫仔細的分門別類 --- 淺色的、深色的、條子的、暗花的、格仔的。。。不能混在一起。你是我認識的人當中對洗恤衫最講究的。　

還有你高超的燙衣技巧，燙過的衣服，效果就像洗衣店的專業燙衣一樣。還有你那對整潔秀氣的一雙手，與那十塊大大的，接近完美的，比好些女孩還要漂亮的指甲。還有你的英式幽默、跟伯伯相似的電影口味、你當司儀時那種口才和自信、我們在那陽光燦爛的早上於Phoenix吃的早餐。　

你也令我體會到，生命脆弱得可以，有些重要事情的確刻不容緩。過去一年來，我很積極的帶爸媽返教會。我媽媽比較正面，當我跟她說有關決志受浸的事，她也頗為接受；爸爸則常被我半推半哄下跟我們去。上星期跟他們去家裏附近的比較傳統的教會，他們事後說“D詩歌好似悶咗D囉。”唏，兩老好像小孩一樣。

想起來，真的要謝謝你。將來有機會，我定會把爸媽介紹給你認識。

一晃眼，便一年了。你好嗎？

Selflessness. Courage. Endurance. Unity. Survival.

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned in life: It goes on." --- Robert Frost

Life is a Blessing.

Emma, my niece.


Wonder of all wonderment!
Momentous moment when small form
First feels life in itself.
When new eyes open wide
On old, old world.
When tiny hands handle air;
Touch tenderness and love.
When ears first wake to sound
And silent lips find voice and food.
Soon newly wakened baby wearies.
World will keep.
Being born is quite enough
For one short day.
Baby hands rest;
Baby mouth yawns;
Baby eyes close in sleep.

--- Baby's First Day, by Mary Dawson Hughes

Mother-and-Son, Religion 101.

"I don't see why I can't be all three. Mamaji has two passports. He's Indian and French. Why can't I be a Hindu, a Christian and a Muslim?"
"That's different. France and India are nations on earth."
"How many nations are there in the sky?"
She thought for a second. "One. That's the point. One nation, one passport."
"One nation in the sky?"
"Yes. Or none. There's that option too, you know. These are terribly old-fashioned things you've taken to."
"If there's only one nation in the sky, shouldn't all passports be valid for it?"
A clould of uncertainty came over her face.
"Bapu Gandhi said ---"
"Yes, I know what Bapu Gandhi said." She brought a hand to her forehead. She had a weary look, Mother did. "Good grief," she said.

On Agnosticism.

To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of tansportation.
