6月, 从两年前开始, 就染上了忧伤。
两年前的6月26日, 我很喜欢的MJ凝成了永远的Legend。今天早上起来, 发现Summer真正开始了, 孩子们也不用上令他们焦头烂额的中文学校了。我从书架上抽出5张我收藏的MJ的DVD,把小企鹅们叫跟前说:两年前的今天MJ去世了, 我们今天看张他的歌舞蝶纪念他, 你们挑一张吧。 姐弟俩由于我的影响,也听过看过不少MJ的表演, 对他的很多歌都耳熟能详, 象dangerous,will you be there,black and white,(他们的最爱, 估计最爱的是Macaulay Culkin把他老爸震上天的那段恶作剧吧)等等等等, 所以他们挑了这张Dangerous。
还是那样令人动容,特别是看到他在1993年的Grammy Award的发奖仪式上所做的演讲时,那真诚的独白,那对全世界孩子们,特别是那些身处贫困的, 生病的孩子们的发自内心的关怀与支持, 无不让人心生敬佩与感动。就像他歌中唱的
“There is a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much brighter than tomorrow……”
就象他画面中出现的那样, heal the world 有时并不需要飞机大炮, 一个创可贴就行了。可是每天扭开电视, 不是这里爆炸, 就是那里叛乱,不知什么时候this place could be much brighter than tomorrow 。
喜欢极了他的这段speech,what a warm- hearted human being he is, hope he’s doing great in Heavan too。
“My childhood was completely taken away from me. There was no Christmas, there were no birthdays, it was not a normal childhood, nor the normal pleasures of childhood - those were exchanged for hard work, struggle, and pain , and eventually material and professional success. But as an awful price, I cannot re-create that part of my life. However, today, when I create my music, I feel like an instrument of nature. I wonder what delight nature must feel when we open our hearts and express our God-given talents. The sound . . . of approval rolls across the universe, and the whole world abounds in magic. Wonder fills our hearts, for what we have glimpsed, for an instant, the playfulness of life.
And that's why I love children and learn so much from being around them. I realise that many of our world's problems today - from the inner city crime, to large scale wars and terrorism, and our overcrowded prisons - are a result of the fact that children have had their childhood stolen from them. The magic, the wonder, the mystery, and the innocence of a child's heart, are the seeds of creativity that will heal the world. I really believe that.
What, what we need to learn, what we need to learn from children isn't childish. Being with them connects us to the deeper wisdom of life which is everpresent, and only asks to be lived. They know the solutions that lie waiting to be recognised within our own hearts. Today, I would like to thank all the children of the world, including the sick and deprived . . . I am so sensitive to your pain. “
