照亮生命…

Wednesday, August 10th, 2005

幾日前收到宣明會寄來的助養手冊,我們終於與遠方的小孩子見面了。他叫Mohomad,是個一歲的男孩,住在斯里蘭卡,有少許哮喘,家中有父母和一個兄弟。他的眼睛很大,胖胖的,膚色是南亞人典型的棕黑色。看著他的照片,我們不禁有點心急:他才一歲啊!何時才長大呢?很遙遠,很漫長。

遠方的Mohomad,與我們一起,互想照亮了大家的生命,為大家的生命添上溫暖與希望。面對這種positive的局面,人的心情也舒暢得多。相對起近來一大堆的仇恨與誤解,就覺得它們無聊無益兼無趣,百分無奈。唯有讓這股正能量中和一下吧。

Mohomad,一起努力啊。

海防博物館

上星期六,雖然天氣時晴時雨,但我們還是去了。

博物館提供免費巴士來往杏花村地鐵站,但在巴士站周圍卻找不到指示,幸好一輛免費巴士剛好路過,我們才上到車。我們剛踏入車門,便聽到司機大佬在發牢騷,訴說著自己的建議如何被冷待,有關部門是何等的僵化和落後。我們一路聽一路想笑,雖然司機大佬的牢騷很有道理,也很有心。

海防博物館的前身是有百多年歷史的鯉魚門炮台。這座炮台建築在鯉魚門岸邊的山丘之上,堅守維多利亞港的東面要塞。博物館的室內展覽不甚吸引,資料太多,卻欠缺互動,這種安排難免令人沉悶。室外的古蹟徑就有趣得多,遊客可以一路遊覽山頭上的各種大炮、彈藥庫、壕溝等等,一路欣賞鯉魚門的兩岸風光。從山上遠眺,可見油塘、調頸嶺,遠至將軍澳工業村新填海區一帶。。

我們沿古蹟徑散步,雖然景象開揚,但天氣陰霾不定,遠處的灰雲低得快要塌下。我們都忘了帶傘,就讓細密的雨粉灑在身上吧,也沒有甚麼所謂啊,難得解暑。在黑雲的籠罩之下,我們在嘻哈鬧笑--別讓那黑雲毀了難得的快樂。

我只是希望,我們都快樂。
