One

These two days I’ve kept hearing the bird sing. The singing is penetrating - - - how many bird songs have I heard in my life now? And how many can I remember? - - - but this one, by the bird perching on the tree top and singing unapologetically, I pause and listen and cannot forget! I can recognize it immediately and I am expecting to hear it sing whenever I pass by. Upon the singing, even a heated day suddenly has the cool of romanticism.

Two

The bird has not been around since yesterday afternoon. The day is back to ordinary again - - - dusty and noisy and exhausted - - - from its absence. What have I heard from the bird’s singing then? I said it’s a Song yesterday. That’s not really what I meant. I labeled it a song based on something I was trying to stay away from, or, the tendency to romanticize.  What I heard indeed is a CRY!  The Cry made me tremble. Irresistible. I looked upward in its direction and I wanted to hear more, and I wanted to cry with the Cry, uncontrollably.

The cry touches a Soul, from that of a bird to mine, or

From that of a Nobody

To that of another

Nobody.

摄影极佳。极富个人特色。我第一次看到你的摄影,就有了一种自卑感。那时我在摄坛,很多人还夸我呢。

能让傲骄的立产生自卑感,说明了影云的实力。腻害!

谁说梅花没有泪?万物独有悲怆欢喜之时,有时太开心了,也会哭的!
