But I can count on you to play your part
I don’t miss a beat of your animal heart
And when you push from behind I know I can
Cover a mountain with the palm of my hand

And oh babe, you can make history young again
You could rewrite, you could decide
The things that should or shouldn’t have been
You could look at me in the scheme of things
Oh babe, you could make history young again

I can watch the weeks sweeping by
I can recollect the hearts hanging out to dry
When the world shuts down I can touch my fears
I can hear lost youth ringing in my ears

But I lost nothing when I gained you
You just blew me away with yesterdays news
When you run your fingers down my spine
It’s like throwing a switch on the hands of time

Ancient minds, ancient lives
Got a way of coming around
If I knew then what I know now
I’d make it back to you somehow

Because I never expected it to be like this

First of all to be in Singapore

And best of all to have passed my driving!

Is not a white christmas,

But still a very wet christmas

At least today vouched for this

Yet nothing today was missed

Swan Lake was splendidly graceful

And with God’s grace and glory

I entrust my life to Him.

I wake up to a call.

Time for the marathon

which was to start at dawn.

This year feels different

Perhaps from the surge of physical exhaustion

Plus a tinge of depression

Yet also a surprising jolt of pleasantness,

From yesterday and the past few Saturdays.

Or was it a mix of these

Plus a bit of confusion

Uncertain of things that had happened.

Of the future, the past and the present.

My legs carried me forward,

Even though they were really aching

While thoughts were also running

In the deepest sanctuary of my mind.

But motivation I did gain

At least to complete the race

The rest of it I retain

For the rest of the days ahead.

for you to reveal yourself to us.

There is a longing in our hearts for love

we only find in you, our God.

For Justice, for freedom, for mercy: hear our prayer.

In sorrow, in grief: be near, hear our prayer, O God.

For wisdom, for courage, for comfort: hear our prayer.

In weakness, in fear: be near, hear our prayer, O God.

For healing, for wholeness, for new life: hear our prayer.

In sickness, in death: be near, hear our prayer, O God.

Lord save us, take pity, light in our darkness.

We call you, we wait: be near, hear our prayer, O God.

heaven’s answer hidden from our sight.

As we await you, O God of silence,

we embrace your holy night.

As the watchman waits for morning,

and the bride awaits her groom,

so we wait to hear your footsteps

as we rest beneath your moon.

一个人的内心的在乎，与不在乎，内心的坦然与淡定，是能让他化解生命中很多很多的遗憾 与不满。这也就是不要把现实中的很多的阴影，看得过重，不要自己认同在阴影之下， 很多时候是我们自己遮住了阳光。我们太在乎得与失，有的或没有，完美的与不完美，高尚的与低俗的。 其实，生命谁能没遗憾，但如能用一种内心的富裕和饱满，能够用一种内心积极的力量，去弥补这些遗憾与不满，就是达到如仁者无忧，智者不惑，勇者不惧的这个境界。如果当所有这些忧愤， 迷惑和畏惧，压在眼前时，我们能让自己变得更加宽厚，仁大，变得更加智慧，聪颖，变得更加勇敢无畏，那么处在的一切，不也就没有了吗？所以做一个勇敢的人，就是用生命的力量去化解那些遗憾， 不要借助处在物质的得与失， 让自己拥有一份浅薄的骄傲。 心灵的力量是无穷的，在面对这个复杂多变的社会环境，面对各种不同的人，我们往往觉得无力应对，其实只要我们自己有一颗从容镇静的内心，有一种心灵的勇敢，我们就能变得坚强，就可现出勇敢。个人的力量，不能改变社会，但我们能凭借我们勇敢的心灵去改变心情，太度与人生观 。 这也许就是赢得了美好 生活的手段和智慧。
