coffee and alcohol “没”酒咖啡
(English Text below Chinese) 回来后,除了想念地球另一边的朋友们,还想念不昂贵却美好的酒和咖啡。倒不是在中国没有好酒好咖啡,而是他们基本成了新贵炫耀身份的小奢侈品,我一小文人消费不起。月初在纽约,进地铁站时看见一只咖啡杯立在铁门上,出地铁站时看见艳蓝的黄昏天色里一酒店(liquor store,名副其实的卖酒的店,不是hotel)的招牌。似乎很讽刺啊。 Kind of funny (or ironic) that I saw a coffee cup when I entered the metro in New york, then a liquor store as I got out, because affordable good coffee and good wine … Continue reading
The spinning stops at our yard 院子里的午后
(English text below Chinese) 有时觉得自己就是一个无法停止的陀螺。拍片、编辑图片、写稿、策划我的绿舟项目、给亲戚的孩子辅导英语、到银行等机构办各种杂事……事情总没完没了。这周做了两个采访,写了两篇稿子,还要再写一篇,必须在后天去纽约前赶出来。一边想稿子,一边想在纽约和DC的采访提纲和肖像拍摄,还想着去纽约时千万别漏带器材……我的脑瓜虽然扁圆,但它的本质是一个陀螺。我几乎能看见它在高速旋转。这时候,我就想起朋友李伊安。他曾经像陀螺那样转,但终于停下来,静下来,安详而喜悦地过每一天。他建议我到中大附近的行家茶行,因为他知道我太需要让我内心的陀螺停止旋转。 好几次,我计划去行家茶行,却总因为杂事而放弃。今天,午饭后,决定无论如何不能马上继续工作,端了咖啡和爸妈坐在院子里晒太阳。没有比冬天的太阳更温暖的东西。没什么比和父母在一起晒太阳更幸福的事情。 刚开始学会喝咖啡的八旬老父亲轻呷一口咖啡,赞叹说:“真香啊!怎么以前会不喜欢咖啡呢?!”他脸朝阳光,微微笑着。母亲还不习惯咖啡的甘苦味,喝得慢,揶揄父亲说,“你喝得太快,说明你还不懂品尝咖啡。”说完, 她不好意思地笑了。 这样安详、温暖的冬日午后,感觉比在昏暗的暖灯下喝酒、听音乐更舒服,更快乐,并让我想起了德彪西的《牧神的午后》(L’après-midi d’un faune),虽然我们家院子里爱的气氛与牧神的梦有点不搭。 可能因为我离家多年终于再回到家里,父母对我宠爱有加,好像我是他们刚出生没多久的独生女。我则因为自己年龄渐增而父母虽年迈却可爱又纯真,也像宠爱孩子一样宠爱着他们。我们就这样相互宠爱。这或许是我不愿意长呆广州的主要原因。 Sometimes I see myself spinning at a high speed. Shooting my personal projects, editing pictures, writing, preparing for my Earthship project, helping a relative learn English, running errands….And … Continue reading
