每個星期坐飛機. 不管前一天晚上多晚睡, 星期一早上 4 點起來去機場搭飛機. 三年來沒有缺勤過, 沒有請過病假. 下大雪時車子打滑卡在路肩叫AAA來把車子挖出來之後直奔機場去上班.很多時候也覺得很累, 覺得身心疲憊. 但為什麼還要繼續下去？ 因為我可以看見我的目標. 也因為我的工作讓我覺得我是個有用的人, 我的努力是有價值的 (還有自己想像在機場穿梭時跟 George Clooney 在 Up In The Air 裡面一樣帥 =P)
Wasted and wounded, it ain’t what the moon did Got what I paid for now See ya tomorrow, hey Frank can I borrow A couple of bucks from you? To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You’ll go a waltzing Matilda with me
I’m an innocent victim of a blinded alley And tired of all these soldiers here No one speaks English and everything’s broken And my Stacys are soaking wet To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You’ll go a waltzing Matilda with me
Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cab’s parking A lot they can do for me I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open And I’m down on my knees tonight Old Bushmill’s I staggered, you buried the dagger Your silhouette window light To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You’ll go a waltzing Matilda with me
Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I’ve kissed her And the one-armed bandit knows And the maverick Chinaman and the cold-blooded signs And the girls down by the strip-tease shows Go, waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You’ll go a waltzing Matilda with me
No, I don’t want your sympathy The fugitives say that the streets aren’t for dreaming now Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories They want a piece of the action anyhow Go, waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You’ll go a waltzing Matilda with me
And you can ask any sailor and the keys from the jailor And the old men in wheelchairs know That Matilda’s the defendant, she killed about a hundred And she follows wherever you may go Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You’ll go a waltzing Matilda with me
And it’s a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace And a wound that will never heal No prima donna, the perfume is on An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey And goodnight to the street sweepers The night watchman flame keepers and goodnight to Matilda too
Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist.
但是, 這片拼圖是從不存在到存在, 卻到目前為止沒人可以用科學的方法解釋. 從 "Big Bang Theory” (不是這個歐 :P)到現在 Prof. Hawking 的書, 都是這來解釋回答這問題. 而 Stephen Hawking 大師現在卻驚為天人的發出這樣的言論, 讓我覺得很有趣.
不過, 我無法理解的是, 那 "law of gravity" 是哪裡來的？所有科學家到目前為止所「發現」的定律是怎麼出現的？
他另外還有說另一句令人匪夷所思的話:
The question is: is the way the universe began chosen by God for reasons we can’t understand, or was it determined by a law of science? I believe the second. If you like, you can call the laws of science ‘God’, but it wouldn’t be a personal God that you could meet, and ask questions.
If we discover a complete theory, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason — for then we should know the mind of God.
-Stephen Hawking, 1988
Prof. Hawking, 如果你的研究跟理論可以回答這些定律的由來, 說不定我會相信你. 但到那天為止, 我還是選擇相信有一位神的存在. 而祂創造了這一切, 也是我們存在的理由. 在此送你一首歌: There Is A God, by 33 Miles.
There is A Godby 33 Miles
There’s a beauty to the dawn, a rhythm to the rain A silence in the soul that I just can’t explain There’s a breath of life I breathe, a beating in my heart A magnificence, a scary sense of what lies past the stars Beyond what we can see behind the mystery I know that it could only be
(Chorus) There is a God; this is the proof That all around the evidence is speaking the truth From the center of my soul to the edge of the universe Creation is crying out believe it or not There is a God
There’s a debt that has been paid, a grace that I’ve been shown A hope that I’ve been given that I have never known There’s a love that conquers darkness a peace alive in me There’s a life that’s not just here and now but for eternity Beyond what we can see behind the mystery I know that it could only be that
(Chorus)
I believe it; I believe it There is a God I can feel it; I can feel it There is a God And the more I find the less I need to see I’ve never been so sure, so sure of anything
I’m sorry (或 I hate to do this to you…): 講到這又有點不爽了. 基本上這並不是真的感覺到難過得同理心, 而是要叫你做事之前先講得客套話. 每次都在半夜或是星期五下午跟我說 (或是用打電話/留言), 叫我早起或是待很晚做一些鳥事. 你知道 sorry 或是不想這麼做就別做阿, 只會說對不起, 但是情還是要我弄完 (委屈狀…)
