The Drizzle
 |
| 图片取自 Hive |
I love very few things more than a nice long walk in the drizzle of Seattle. I don't care for the heaviness of real rain; I like the misting, the feeling of the tiny droplets on my muzzle and eyelashes. The freshness of the air, which has been suddenly infused with ozone and negative ions. While rain is heavy and can suppress the scents, a lighter shower actually amplifies smells; it releases the molecules, brings odor to life, and then carries it through the air to my nose. Which is why I love Seattle more than any other place, even Thunderhill Raceway Park. Because, while the summers are very dry, once the damp season begins, nary a day goes by without a helping of my much-loved drizzle.

Lock the Sun in a Box

Who is Achilles without his tendon? Who is Samson without Delilah? Who is Oedipus without his clubfoot? Mute by design, I have been able to study the art of rhetoric unfettered by ego and self-interest, and so I know the answers to these questions.

泠泠作响的什么东西
 |
| 图片取自 豆瓣读书 |
“我觉得吧，”雷米朝着空中喷出一条直直的烟柱，说：“我觉得与其说是周围的人不好，不如说是因为诹访自己的心态变了。上小学的时候，除了画画儿之外，什么事都不放在心上的诹访，变得在乎自己和周围的人了。于是，周围的人便敏感地钻了这个空子，做了过了头，造成了这个结果。看看经常贴在走廊上的水彩或美术教室里展出的粘土工艺等等，上小学时她浑身洋溢的、让大家吃惊的某种穿透力，连影子都不见了。从诹访的画里，已经什么都看不到了。我为她感到非常痛心，这种事简直愚蠢透顶，令人厌恶之极。由于那种小小的自我意识，或是没有多少理由的好强心作怪，年轻人宝贵的泠泠作响的什么东西，就被轻易地毁掉了……”

I am Ready

In Mongolia, when a dog dies, he is buried high in the hills so people cannot walk on his grave. The dog's master whispers into the dog's ear his wishes that the dog will return as a man in his next life. Then his tail is cut off and put underneath his head, and a piece of meat or fat is placed in his mouth to sustain his soul on its journey; before he is reincarnated, the dog's soul is freed to travel the land, to run across the high desert plains for as long as it would like.
That Which We Manifest is Before Us

I will never tire of watching tapes with Denny. He knows so much, and I have learned so much from him. He said nothing more to me; he continued watching his tapes. But my thoughts turned to what he had just taught me. Such a simple concept, yet so true: that which we manifest is before us; we are the creators of our own destiny. Be it through intention or ignorance, our successes and our failures have been brought on by none other but ourselves.

An Orchestra Kitchen

When the cooking finally started, I watched the show from my corner of the old oak table, the best seat in the house. The kitchen, like an orchestra, was tuning for its greatest concert of the year. Kettles whistled high C, pestles drummed, pots and pans "percussed" with gusto, only to be hushed by a shower of poppy seeds falling into an enamel pot.

猎人之墓
 |

在荒凉的冻原上，有一个地方立着鲸鱼骨，那是一个美丽的坟墓。我认识长眠在此的老人，罗利．金吉，他是活过真正的爱斯基摩时代，极北的最后猎人。
十几年前，我曾经参加过波音荷普村民的传统捕鲸。乘着海狗皮做成的小船追捕鲸鱼，爱斯基摩人们围着被拖到冰上的鲸鱼祈祷，将解体后的鲸鱼颚骨放回海里，一边高声喊着“明年再回来”。我不是环保或保育人士，但我知道狩猎民族的自然观是值得重视的。

A 500 years old Message
|
| 图片取自 Book Depository.com |
My husband points to a Polish inscription on an ancient wall. I struggle to translate for him, for this is Old Polish, the words of a renaissance scholar and humanist from the 16th century. I do my best: "Keep peace with all your neighbours and there will be no need for war". Here it is, a message some 500 years old, but one yet to be discovered by today's world leaders.

假如生活欺骗了你
 |
假如生活欺骗了你，
不要悲伤，不要心急！
忧郁的日子里需要镇静：
相信吧，快乐的日子将会来临。
心儿永远向往着未来；
现在却常是忧郁。
一切都是瞬息，
一切都将会过去；
而那过去了的，
就会成为亲切的怀恋。

Dr. Maryam and Her Patients
 |
| 图片取自 My Own Sense of Civilization |
With the Taliban in power, doctors in Kabul could once again go to work without the fear of roket attacks, but the female doctors——those who hadn't fled the country when the Taliban took Kabul——faced an entire new set of problems. The Taliban had ordered hospitals, like every other institution, to be segregated by gender, with women physicians restricted to treating female patients and working in female-only wards. They were not allowed to work with——let alone consult——their female colleagues. Foreign aid organization were still wrestling with the question of how much support to offer to the Taliban, particularly given their policies toward women, so help had been slow to reach the nation's hospitals. As a results, doctors and surgeons regularly worked without even the basics such as clean water, bandages, and antiseptics. Anesthesia was a luxury. Along with most other woman in Kabul, Malika now had no choice but to seek treatment from one of the very few women doctors who had chosen to remain in the capital. Dr. Maryam, like many other of her colleageas, ran a private clinic in addition to her hospital work in order to support the family.
