6
月, 從兩年前開始, 就染上了憂傷。

兩年前的626日, 我很喜歡的MJ凝成了永遠的Legend。今天早上起來, 發現Summer真正開始了, 孩子們也不用上令他們焦頭爛額的中文學校了。我從書架上抽出5張我收藏的MJDVD,把小企鵝們叫跟前說:兩年前的今天MJ去世了, 我們今天看張他的歌舞蝶紀念他, 你們挑一張吧。 姐弟倆由於我的影響,也聽過看過不少MJ的表演, 對他的很多歌都耳熟能詳, dangerouswill you be thereblack and white,(他們的最愛, 估計最愛的是Macaulay Culkin把他老爸震上天的那段惡作劇吧)等等等等, 所以他們挑了這張Dangerous

還是那樣令人動容,特別是看到他在1993年的Grammy Award的發獎儀式上所做的演講時,那真誠的獨白,那對全世界孩子們,特別是那些身處貧困的, 生病的孩子們的發自內心的關懷與支持, 無不讓人心生敬佩與感動。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……”

就象他畫麵中出現的那樣, heal the world 有時並不需要飛機大炮, 一個創可貼就行了。可是每天扭開電視, 不是這裏爆炸, 就是那裏叛亂,不知什麽時候this place could be much brighter than tomorrow

喜歡極了他的這段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.
