Zahir – an object that has the power to create an obsession in everyone who sees it, so that the affected person perceives less and less of reality and more and more of the Zahir, at first only while asleep, then at all times.
Aleph – a point in space that contains all other points. Anyone who gazes into it can see everything in the universe from every angle simultaneously, without distortion, overlapping or confusion.
A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.
感謝Tracy給我這首歌：
不遠 – 簫亞軒
突然那幾秒
好像天使飛過
看著你微笑
那段時間都靜止
遠遠的注視
仿佛愛情就該如此
為所愛的人
在我心里留一個位置
雖然那前方模糊
可是想法清清楚楚
比所有人都渴望你能幸福
我站在你不遠處
默默地為你祝福
把對你的愛藏起来
放你去尋找追逐
我站在愛的不遠處
不在乎守候多辛苦
當你孤單時想起我
那是我最大的幸福
對你的期待
每段都有記載
每一個眼神
我都想要收藏起来
不害怕寂寞
不止一樣没人明白
已經快忘了
當初遷就在這里等待
雖然那前方模糊
可是想法清清楚楚
比所有人都渴望你能幸福
我站在你不遠處
默默地為你祝福
把對你的愛藏起来
放你去尋找追逐
我站在愛的不遠處
不在乎守候多辛苦
當你孤單時想起我
那是我最大的幸福
The Warrior of Light knows how to lose. He does not hold defeat as something indifferent, using phrases like “well, it wasn’t all that important”, or “to tell the truth, I did not really want that”.
He accepts defeat as a defeat; he does not try to change it into a victory or an experience. He suffers the pain of his wounds, the indifference of his friends and the loneliness of loss. At such moments he says to himself: “I fought for something, and I failed to get it. I lost the first battle.”
This phrase will give him strength. He is aware that nobody wins all the time – but the courageous always win in the end.
