有沒有試過一瞬間念頭突然轉過來的感覺
一瞬間之前還覺得若有所思
一眨眼醒過來,一眨眼留在無際
今天晚上很想寫些東西
很多東西在裏面左右徘徊
不是複雜的
只是一件一件小小的事情
不寫一些出來,睡不著,沒辦法
----
最近看報紙說
香港有很多隱蔽青年
其中也有學歷高的
報導中專家說:
"博士畢業生學歷太高,有可能很難找工作,也是"隱蔽青年"的高危一族..."
吓?.....點算好

和朋友K,姐姐三人一起探望A的滿月嬰兒
那晚回到家,四小時後,收到K的電話留言
說跟她一起住的祖父剛去世了
聲音是累..是悲傷..
生命是蠟燭嗎?
同一時間..一邊剛開始點燃,
另一邊在我們都不為意時卻已經走到了盡頭,
瞬間滅了
K,你還好嗎?

第二次看電影"BABEL 巴別塔"
這次看懂了BRAD PITT和KATE BLANCHET去旅行的其中一個原因
是因為他們剛出生的小孩去世了
去年第一次看時,沒留意這一句,這次看到這裏,時間停頓了...
一瞬間念頭突然轉移
(大概一個月前)
姑姐說: "那時你爸帶你媽還有你兩個姐姐去臺灣旅行,
不就是你剛出生的弟弟剛去世後,你爸為了帶你媽去散心嗎?
你們兩留在香港,我跟姑丈才常常拍拖帶你們上街嗎?" .... (原來是這樣!)
啊!為什麼我總是"分開"的記得在我大概四,五歲時:
1.小弟弟剛出生就去世了,我第一次看到我媽流淚
2.爸媽帶了大姐,二姐去臺灣旅行,還拍了很多照片
3.姑姐,姑丈拍拖帶著我和三姐上街,喝氣水
原來是連在一起的故事...
需然老爸絕對不是BRADD PITT,老媽也算不上半個KATE BLANCHET
但那一刻,時空記憶交錯
電影故事人物的演出展現了爸媽1978還是79年的痛
一瞬間還坐在電影院內,我感到了...

There is Sherap, father, mother, sister-in-law, brother, nephew.....
Beautiful people...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following a phone conversation with Sherap (Xizhu) yesterday, please be noted that "Phase 1" of the grassland school construction at Kajiacun village has been completed.
Now the main school building is up and running. This single building includes 2 class rooms, 2 bedrooms for teachers and 1 bedroom for visitor. The next phase (in which fund raising is still in progress) will include the ground work for the playground, playground facilities, as well as fencing wall for the school premises.
There is now 1 teacher sent by the county government and 33 students all together starting from grade 1 level. Sherap is in the process of applying for one more teacher to be sent by the county government.
Some Dutch friends are now visiting Sherap at Labrang. They are planning to visit the school this Thursday (5 Oct). I am looking forward to chat with them when they stop by Hong Kong late next week.
我在拉卜楞寺认识的喇嘛朋友西珠正在他的草原老家兴建一所小学,好让村里的小孩不会失去上学的机会.
这是七月夏天草原的境况,村民正在把工地弄平,石头和砖都搬过来了. 草原的景色跟我上一次二月份去的时候真的是很大的分别. 那时候天地都是雪白一片.现在草地上布满小黄花.
他们还是很缺建筑材料的经费.如果您有兴趣给他们一点的帮助,请别忘了告诉我!多少也感谢万分啊!The above photos show the latest progress of the school building project organized by my Labrang monk friend "Sherap" at his grassland hometown in July. The villagers have been working on leveling the site, as well as collecting stones from the near by area. Materials such as bricks have been transported to the site; however they are running out of financial help in buying all the necessary building material. If you may want to support his project, please contact Sherap or let me know. :-)

Below shows e-mail from Sherap 西珠 on 13.08.06:
您好! 美其姐!
真不好意思昨晚没回邮件,因为昨晚没电. 我刚刚看到了文件写的很好谢谢您.
在家乡那边弄地平的这些都是我自己找亲戚和朋友帮我的,第一次回家的时候他们都说弄地和木料还有石是头这些说帮我,到时就变了都没了.
现在这能靠亲戚和朋友们,而且砖也涨价了到那儿每个砖4角2分没想到这么贵现在有点难处,可是我不会放弃的一定要该起来让这些小孩得到点文化这就是我这辈子最大愿望.
保重; 西珠
Translation of the e-mail:
Hi, Maggie sis
Please excuse me for not replying your mail last night as the electricity was out. I have just seen the document you wrote about the school, thank you so much.
At the hometown works such as leveling of the site were all done by my relatives and friends. When I went home the first time, some villagers promised to help on the foundation works as well as gathering the timber, but everything have changed when I went back this time.
Now, I can only rely on relatives and friends, also the price of bricks has increased to 42cents each. I never thought it would be that expensive. Now there are some difficulties, but I won’t give up. I must get this school built so that the children here can be cultivated as this is my biggest life long wish.
Take care; Sherap

This is a grassland village that I visited in february in southern Gansu near my research site. It's the home town of my monk friend from Labrang monastery. The villagers are building a new (first) primary school at the grassland now. He just sent me some photos taken last month (July). And here comes an almost identical shots. What a big difference. I wished I could go ther now and pitch a tent for summer picnic.
