A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
喜樂的心乃是良藥;憂傷的靈使骨枯乾。
(箴言17:22)

夕陽無限好,日日有黃昏

夕陽無限好,日日有黃昏
「向晚意不適, 驅車登古原;夕陽無限好,只是近黃昏。」李商隱的這首詩千百年來不知引起多少人的共鳴,卻又不知撩起多少人的自憐自嘆。詩的意境好,只是太消極了。其實天天有夕陽,日日有黃昏!不是嗎?

蹓躂


星期三,晴。

收到尤金兄電話...

「冇事做,咁好天氣,我嚟車您出去走走好嗎?」

「好!」

於是我們去了 UBC Beaty Biodiersity Museum 蹓躂,參觀了在那裡擺設的藍鯨骸骨。

這骸骨其實算不了甚麼古物,牠的遺體在 1987 年出現在 Prince Edward Island 的海灘,2008 年才弄到這裡來。

藍鯨被認為是地球上體型最大的動物,先知約拿在魚腹中渡過三日三夜的那尾大魚應該就是牠的祖先...

想到這裡,禁不住對這條魚骨肅然起敬!

離開的時候,適逢大學下課,滿街滿巷都是年輕人。

走在他們中間,自己的腳步也輕快起來。

尤金忽有所思,對我說:

「您有冇留心到,呢度啲後生仔女大部份都係黑髮黃皮膚架?」

Robin,

Your story today reminded me of a tale about Jonah and the whale:

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though a whale is a very large mammal, its throat is very small.

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. The teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human, it was impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".

The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him!"
