God Bless Us Everyone

 

周末采风，摄于金溪山庄外曲院风荷。这张照片给朋友、同事看过，大家都非常喜欢。片子拿到证明当时开闪光是非常正确的决定。闪光让居中花瓣晶莹剔透，正是出淤泥而不染，濯清涟而不妖。

参观中国美院毕业设计展，和艺术家合影。

不知道有没有人喜欢乡村民谣。民谣表面是慵懒享受的，背后却往往代表了自由和追求。有的歌词还含着朴实的真理，有点像倪萍的那本《姥姥语录》。Maria Dunn的这首歌就给人这样的感觉。

When the world is feeling cold and the sky more grey than blue
And the snow it seems to fall heavy heartedly on you
Time to count your blessings though seemingly but few
Time to take a look at what’s within and without you
For health is more than walking
And wealth much more than gold
But kindness overwhelming as a gentle hand to hold

So God bless us everyone with the riches of the soul
And may hopelessness ne’er be the demon darkening our door

When the world is feeling cold and the sky more grey than blue
And the snow it seems to lie heavy heartedly on you
Remember when you see us: the hungry, lame, the meek
Who would feed us, heal us, keep us is the same one that you seek
For joy is more than dancing
Good cheer much more than wine
But love is all enfolding as beholding hearts entwined

When the world is feeling cold and the sky more grey than blue
And the snow it seems to lie heavy heartedly on you
To the counting house of blessings may we often chance to stray
And in company together spend many’s the night and day
