The Third Song of Isaiah (copied)

#2020-0624

I've just opened The Book of Common Prayer (BCP) at page 87 and read The Third Song of Isaiah again. Here is a copy of it, my favorite words as well:

Arise, shine, for your light has come,
    and the glory of the Lord has dawned upon you.
For behold, darkness covers the land;
    deep gloom enshrouds the peoples.
But over you the Lord will rise,
    and his glory will appear upon you.
Nations will stream to your light,
    and kings to the brightness of your dawning.
Your gates will always be open;
    by day or night they will never be shut.
They will call you, The City of the Lord,
    The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Violence will no more be heard in your land,
    ruin or destruction within your borders.
You will call your walls, Salvation,
    and all your portals, Praise.
The sun will no more be your light by day;
    by night you will not need the brightness of the moon.

I See, I Think, I Write

#2020-0622

Last Saturday I wrote a few lines in Chinese, entitled "看見 ● 想起" -- recording what I saw and thought when I was hiking in the mountains nearby. Yes, I saw lychees and I thought of grapes! (Was that a little strange to you?)

If fact, besides the lychee trees bearing a lot of beautiful fruit, I also saw areca [betel-nut] palms, longan trees, bamboos, bananas, papayas, roses and wild flowers. Which kind of tree or flower do you like best? ... Enjoy seeing the photos below, and remember to read the words in the last picture -- Those meaningful words are from one of the most important books in the world!

By the way, wherever I go, and if it's possible for me, I'll take some Life Notes (as labeled either "輕描淡寫" or "隻字片語" or "心靈之歌" in my personal blog). Oh, yes, here's the procedure to be followed by me: I See, I Think, I Write.

《看見 ● 想起》

#2020-0620

《看見 ● 想起》

看見荔枝
想起葡萄......
 「葡萄成熟時
*
  我一定回來。」

那麼,荔枝呢?
 「荔枝成熟前,
  椿象
** 可別回來!」

唱完記憶中的那首
老歌
終於,我
   看見荔枝
   想起 葡.......萄.........
(Putao chenghou shi, wo yiding....)

Notes:
*  《葡萄成熟時》台灣女歌手陳蘭麗 (1951 -  ) 的成名曲。
**  椿象(參閱椿次目)去年 (2019) 因為椿象侵襲荔枝園,台灣的荔枝嚴重減產。
