從旁晚到晨曦

一個人工作的夜，在湖邊教堂附近的屋子裡，亮一盞橙黃的燈，電腦溫茶圓木桌舊木椅，窗外湖面反映燐燐雨點，車子駛過，冰島市城的死寂。這裡既不是城市，也離開廣濶的自然，基乎連偉大藝術家也沒有的土地，我懸空地存在著，暗黑客廳的椅子誰曾留坐。

i said：No one loved each other more then other one, we shared the equality. We gave love to others without expectations, without taking things from others. We just being there, we left and nothing left." L said " This is the true love."

And so to know thyself is only possible through the eyes of the other

passion red, always my favourite

the 1st portrait

The 1st day we met in the kitchen, you were surrounded by roses and we talked and talked for hours.
You said this was the 1st time someone made you a portrait.

sunshine with Merle

臆想當時你在鏡頭前，以及舊時回家的路

Listen to it again and again, there is nothing to understand, it just goes crazily beautiful and looping in my mind.

movement #1:
Appeared with a graceful pride, approaching passionately. Goes tender and softer. Changing, you were me and I were you, harmony touches and hugs, more passion, confirmations, lower but strong, we are synchronous.

movement #2:
Running, jumping, escaping from the danger lively. Booming everywhere, it dodges like a flash, nothing can stop it. Then it runs crazily like in the dream.

movement #3 :
Emphasising the important statement repeatedly, the variations stated strongly and confidently even in the base point, it tries to convince everyone, the voice does not stop till the end of time, it says: I do not want to leave, I am here and will be forever, stay still, stay here with me.

世上的另一個我

今天晚上樂團的演奏讓人十分傷感，樂團與協奏者的不協調，感受著領奏者音符中的孤獨，曲終時欲哭無淚。N 與我一同嘆口氣，我們的感受相同。

K as a Chinese jar still, Moves perpetually in its stillness

to K

movement ＃3

Timeless, and undesiring
Except in the aspect of time
Caught in the form of limitation
Between un-being and being.
Sudden in a shaft of sunlight
Even while the dust moves
There rises the hidden laughter
Of children in the foliage
Quick now, here, now, always -
Ridiculous the waste sad time
Stretching before and after.

--T.S. Eliot

The northern light

The northern light waved up in the sky last night in Reykjavik, it was clear, no so strong though, moved from the west to the east (or north to south) within 20 mins. That was amazing.

Woke up in the early morning, i missed my friends. i was gloomy, how to describe the feeling of this longing? The complex emotions were pined and twisted, fading and appealing. In the darkness of early morning, every pace of second from the digital clock pointed loudly in the air. i hugged myself and went back to sleep.

Þá vinir böndum bindast
þarf band að vera traust,
þá má ei snurða myndast,
þá má ei vefja laust
og hnútinn þarf að herða
svo hvergi slakni á.
Það síst mun svikult verða
sem svo er gengið frá.

a day with poetry, music, dance, my sketch book and ice-cream

- poetry -

The second hand bookshop BOKIN owner:

"I went to Reykjavík at 1967, there were 11 second hand bookshops in town at that time, only my shop left here now. I felt so sad to tell you this.

"After 1996, less people read books, people were crazily collecting money. I was gald that more people read again recently. However, it was more difficult to find the old books. The poetry of Guðmundur Daníelsson which you were searching, were out of printed for many years. You might find them in the flea market in the weekend.

"I was from the North Iceland.

"The four poetry you chose, three of the poets, Guðmundur Friðjónsson, Jakob Jóh. Smári and E. H. Kvaran considered to be out-dated now. Böðvar Guðmundsson was still alive who lived in Denmark, whose poetry I would recommended.

"Guðmundur Friðjónsson was farmer for his whole life, his poetry was very popular during 1900-1940. He wrote many poetry in his life.

"Jakob Jóh. Smári was an Icelandic language teacher, he did not written many books but what he wrote here should be good.

"E. H. Kvaran was a psychic.

"So you would had a rough idea of what they were."


Me: "Thank you very much. All the books were well printed with nice paper. I loved them"


BOKIN owner: "You were collecting the poetry from the would. Good. I would like to offere some of the poetry free for you, I was happy about the Icelandic poetry to be read in China. And I also had a book of LOA-TSE in Icelandic here."

- music, my sketch book -

The concert "Rozhdestvensky returns" by was great tonight! Almost full house, we stood up and kept clapping after the concert.

Thank you for N's ticket. I had a excited night and could not sleep till 3.30am now!

I loved the Piano Concerto by Viktoria Postnikova very much, her tone was so touching. The last song "Dmitri Shostakovich, Symphony no. 10" moved me and stopped my drawing some time!

Reykjavík 下雪後早晨的陽光 i went to swimming pool again

一朝醒來，整個城市陽光下變成白色。

美好的晨早，第一件要做的事情就是到游泳池去。

lives are full of passions

my Birthday present from Merle Thordis

Merle took me to the vegetarian restaurant and a special ice-cream shop. Then we settled on a nice cafe with unlimited re-filled coffee. \(^O^)/ Our non-stopped chatting last forever.

M is so funny and pretty all the time.

Nicola said, "Nothing happen by chance." I replied, "And all is by chance."

A glance.

N met us in a cafe by chance, he offered free tickets of a concert in HARPE on that night. I was so happy to see the conert ticket with my birth date printed, I cried "I go!"

We missed the another free concert in the afternoon. Why so many free concerts on my birth day, It sounded so nice!

M needed to work at night, I went to concert alone. I thought N would not show up since he offered both of his tickets. Unexpectedly, N entered the concert hall on time and I was drawing in my seat next to him, we did not talked much and the concert started.

The 1st half of the concert was not good, we were bored. We talked in the lobby with N's friends. At the end, N said, "Sorry that I do not introduce you, because I forget your name." "Me either." We laughed.

Thank you all of you, we shared our passions of lives that was a wonderful day.

composing the memory in your mind

冰島重覆的晚上

這晚在 CHAQWA 與 J 和 V 不期而遇，我想是冰島市中心太小了，相類的人聚在一起。陌生的大家有點腼腆。J 看起來清瘦了，我想與她親近多點，但卻懶於出門約她。

想起前兩天間上與 A 一起來 CHAQWA 時我們不停談論「尋找樂土」和政治。A 腦內有龐大的資訊，他詢問當天鄰座的冰島議員關於冰島的情況，他甚至想與冰島的罷工工人會晤。我則問及冰島的無家者。P 說這裡才只有不多於 20 人，但他們大家都是自己選擇成為無家者的，我有興趣的話可以一個個去訪問他們。

我後悔沒有與 A 相處多些，我對他擁有的資訊很感興趣，同時感到他因為知道太多而在資訊中迷路。有時他的問題讓我答不出話來，我想是他想得太多，毫無資訊的我找不出證據去說明因由，我緘默不語。P 問香港的藝術家是不是都像我一樣，我說不知道，但我認為我們的藝術有時很狭隘，像我一樣，因為我們看得太多變得甚麼也看不見。

冰島重覆的晚上。已經不去見朋友的我，又在自閉寫作，如果失去沉澱的時間，旅行便變得毫無意義。

想念許多人，偷偷看朋友們的近況，大家都為不同事情努力，還是不便打擾，期待我早日回來再聚，也要為未來的事情打拚﹣﹣搞一個活字的空間。現在讓我多飄留三個月吧。

茶碗‏

晚上將近十時在冰島逃避寫作，整理舊相片，把雜亂難看的通通刪除。

K 說年少時不愁衣食，但從不講究用甚麼碗具，而我獨個兒住在宿舍，初中時把零用錢儲下希望買只喜歡的骨瓷茶杯。

同學問用那只過百元的茶杯放的茶會比宿舍裡公用的杯子好喝些嗎？
我說不會。

你會說喜歡美好的茶具明顯很「fetish」，但我那時還未學會「fetish」這個字。

喜歡是喜歡，我卻一直沒有深入研究咖啡或茶，因為時間都花在繪畫和設計上，或者看電影看書，現在是攝影。

讀了川端康成的《千羽鶴》後更有點害怕茶道，同時想起 A 提及會喝至傾家蕩產的名貴普洱茶。好吧，還是乖乖地選些樸素的東西。（「樸素」是相對那些萬元一両的普洱茶而言，買百元一小餅的普洱可能相對路邊茶座的就貴起來啦，但是但是就讓我花個百元吧。）

旅行前在小店裡買到喜歡又不昂貴的茶碗，早上用它來喝咖啡和茶，有時沖朱古力，美好的一天慢慢開展。

一只茶碗便氹死我，做人簡單，生活便好。
