愛的痕跡

0 回音
風度,也是愛的痕跡之一。

龔和陳的新聞鋪天蓋地得讓人納悶,我總是讀了標題便閃;一直想不通這「親密關係」是什麼樣的一種關係。若還有丁點的愛存留,他總不會讓她的名聲淪為眾人的話柄吧?說穿了,就是他愛自己多於任何一個人……

想起另一個男人,歷史給他這樣的評價:「是個義人,不願意明明地羞辱她,想要暗暗地把她休了。」這個男人想要休了他懷了身孕的未婚妻,因為她「已經許配了約瑟,還沒有迎娶,馬利亞就從聖靈懷了孕。 」(參馬太福音第一章)

能顧及那個傷害他的人的名聲,是風度,也是愛的痕跡。


Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn 1606 – 1669
Simeon's Prophecy to Mary

oil on panel (55 × 44 cm) — 1628, Kunsthalle, Hamburg

Mary and Joseph seem surprised when Simeon tells them that their son's actions will lead to the fall and rise of many in Israel. The prophet Anna raises her hands to indicate that she also considers the boy the Messias.

This is one of Rembrandt's earliest known works. He made at least two more paintings with Simeon: in 1631 and in 1669.

約瑟,唯一在暗處的角色;甘心的低調,使承擔有了重量。

點唱(一)

1 回音
鬧情緒的天氣,打翻了回憶的五味架,過去、現在、將來散落一地。順手牽來數年前一份沒趕及開封的禮物,揚聲器娓娓道出昨日的掙扎、明日的挑戰,今天的踏實感覺。給祢再下一城彷彿意味著一切已再沒有爭辯的餘地;也不用爭辯了--祢的靈乘載我,祢的愛使我自由、使我成為我,I put my trust in You.

今天的點唱,給天上的父;I put my Trust in You, by Gregory Charles



You know sometimes the world is so cruel
Warm each day and suddenly cool
You lead your life feeling real strong
Before you know it everything's wrong
When there's nowhere to hide
When I need someone by my side
All that I must do...

Is put my trust in you
I believe what you say is true
I have faith in what you do

Yes I do
You are my dream come true
I put my trust in you
And I know when I am blue
Yes I know you'll carry me through
Yes I do
All that I need to do
Is put my trust in you

The taller you feel the harder you fall
And when you're down (now) who do you call
When you need someone to hold your hand
Someone who'll help you make your stand
When there's nowhere to hide
When I need someone by my side
All that I must do

CHORUS

Oh You've always been there for me
You're the wind that has carried me
Your love has set me free
Your love has made me: me


CHORUS
