如果現在閉上眼,靜下心,你會聽到甚麼聲音?
是廚房冰箱的運轉聲,或是不小心飛進房間內的飛蛾振翅聲,還是窗外呼嘯而過的機車聲~
似乎我們只有在輾轉難眠的夜裡,才會感受到這些聲響在我們的身旁
想想其實大大小小的聲音都在,只是我們有沒有靜下心來聆聽
有時候我會試著用不同感覺來感知周遭的一切
像是輕閉雙眼,聽萬籟~常常會發現並非是俱寂的
曾經被一首歌的歌名吸引 "the sound of silence"
沉默怎麼會有聲音呢?小時候我不懂~現在我漸漸懂得了
不用多說甚麼~
閉上眼睛來聽這首歌...或許一切混沌的會稍稍清澈點

The Sound Of Silence (3:08) Hello darkness, my old friend In restless dreams I walked alone And in the naked light I saw "Fools," said I, "you do not know And the people bowed and prayed
P. Simon, 1964
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turn my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence
