Slow Dance

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day on the fly?
When you ask "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift.... Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.


Written by David L. Weatherford, a child psychologist

舒拉寶娃的左拳頭

月初,在維園看了舒拉寶娃對晏紫的比賽,覺得這位世界頂級的球手真的名不虛傳,正手抽擊剛勁有力,把我們的中國選手打得只有捱打的份兒。

不過呢,舒拉寶娃全攻型的打法不是沒有缺點的,因為球球進取的關係,犯錯的機會就自自然然地多,這在跟對手對搓第三四球後,效果更加明顯。當晚,晏小姐不時在捱到三四球之後就可以在對方犯錯後得分。

作為觀眾,還是喜歡看主攻型的球員,因為較有球味。每當小妮子主攻得分後輕舉左手粉拳振臂一呼的一刻,你也會不自禁止地為這位網球嬌娃打氣。

「正義」號超級市場

寓言一則:

有一間超級市場,所賣的產品甚為特別,全是一些貼上「正義」標籤的罐頭產品,包括「獵奇沙甸魚」、「反世貿午餐肉」、及最新鮮登場的「保育罐頭豆」。顧客主要是在大學任職或唸書的人道主義者。

不過,他們其實不是真的很喜歡沙甸魚、午餐肉或肉豆,雖然他們基本上不太抗拒。他們更加愛的,其實是那個貼上「正義」的嘜頭。

誠然,有正義感是好,但我更希望他們真的喜歡沙甸魚或午餐肉,並能吃上十多二十年,而不是如換季潮食那樣,季季換鮮活。
