有音樂相伴, 人生不寂寞-貝多芬第三號鋼琴協奏曲 Music being a life time friend: Beethoven 3rd Piano concerto c minor op. 37

一生雖短, 有時寂寞起來卻也令人感到無邊漫漫. 孤獨有各式各樣的原因, 但寂寞的本質倒是古今中外皆同. 未必是身邊無伴, 未必是獨處冷清, 然而就算是在繁燈如星, 人潮似水, 家人朋友相依的時候, 寂寞也能像針一般, 無聲無息, 凌厲地突破層層防備, 刺入心錐, 全然不留給人轉圜的餘裕.

迎辛卯兔年, 除夕夜享鮭魚排--Happy Chinese New Year

除夕獨享鮭魚排, 年年有餘

幸好除夕本無月, 詩人騷客詠月思鄉留下眾多名句, 窗子正好是面著月亮初升的方向, 今晚若到眼前來, 恐怕免不了感到悵然.
