海风的味道

80) "...when a true seeker determineth to take the step of search in the path leading to the knowledge of the Ancient of Days, he must, before all else, cleanse and purify his heart... He must never seek to exalt himself above any one, must wash away from the tablet of his heart every trace of pride and vainglory, must cling unto patience and resignation, observe silence, and refrain from idle talk. For the tongue is a smoldering fire, and excess of speech a deadly poison. Material fire consumeth the body, whereas the fire of the tongue devoureth both heart and soul. The force of the former lasteth but for a time, whilst the effects of the latter endureth a century. That seeker should also regard backbiting as grievous error, and keep aloof from its dominion, inasmuch as backbiting quencheth the light of the heart and extinguisheth the life of the soul."

Oh man of two visions! Open one eye and close the other. Close one to the world and all that is therein, and open the other to the hallowed beauty of the Beloved.

The door of the knowledge of the Ancient Being hath ever been, and will continue for ever to be, closed in the face of men. No man's understanding shall ever gain access unto His holy court. As a token of His mercy, however, and as a proof of His loving-kindness, He hath manifested unto men the Day Stars of His divine guidance, the Symbols of His divine unity, and hath ordained the knowledge of these sanctified Beings to be identical with the knowledge of His own Self.

Whoso recognizeth them hath recognized God. Whoso hearkeneth to their call, hath hearkened to the Voice of God, and whoso testifiedth to the truth of their Revelation, hath testified to the truth of God Himself. Whoso truneth away from them, hath turned away from God, and whoso disbelieveth in them, hath disbelieved in God. Every one of them is the Way of God that connecteth this world with the realms above, and the Standard of His Truth unto every one in the kingdoms of earth and heaven. They are the Manifestations of God amidst men, the evidences of His Truth, and the signs of His glory.

So I pray, and pray. To know Thee and to worship Thee!

 

 

After Friday's holy pray and dancing party, Saturday's shopping and hiking, I decided to gave myself some meditation.

Seeing a movie, or movie like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is not much like an entertainment.

It is full of tension and violence though, the electric shock therapy in "nut house", the lobotomy, the mentally illed patients'  actions and thoughts are revealing some truth of defining and being defined. To define is to constrain. But over-difining are bound to cause problems or even damage.

In life, everybody needs space.

 

刚刚从一个朋友那里发现www.pandora.com,可以选择喜欢的音乐，然后相同类型的音乐就会自动流出~~

先是Ayumi的to be,接着是Cascada的Neverending dream, Yoko Kanno的Velveteen,还有Groove的Poison……Hip hop的背景音乐，高亢的声线。

开学三周了。

每天早上8：30有课，情形不亚于高中。

GSPP要求的核心课程：Microeconomics for public policy & Decision Analysis, Modelical and Quantitative method

除此之外，我还选了两门选修课：Political and Agency Management & Leadership and Social Change

最享受的课程是Econ，教授清瘦有品味，逻辑清晰，层层剥茧一样梳理微观经济的逻辑，sweep off all the conundrums:)

Quan的机理很简单，但是需要用Excel做各种模型，一切从头学起。

Political的内容非常Local，几乎都是涉及美国政治的知识和案例，所以班上美国同学不用看材料就知道的东西，我们这些国际学生要花多几个小时的时间补习。

Leadership的教授是前克林顿政府劳工部的部长，讲起leadership举重若轻。如今美国大选风云又起，他是Obama的竞选顾问，更增加了他的魅力和神秘。

总体来说，每门课需要做的课前准备和课后作业都是差不多的，所以每天50-60页的阅读量是平均值，除去读书吃饭的时间，就是每周一次去参加合唱团的活动，和Ihouse的housemates闲聊，给妈妈和亲爱的打电话，偶尔到旧金山放放风~~~

喜欢加州的阳光，给人健康的肤色和健康的心情*。*

外面是日晒你却讲晚安
未绝望就算各散於两方
月亮在晚空 同样升降
将这电邮输送留心看
若果要说尽我的掛牵 恐怕谈天光
就算一人晚餐一人望海我会习惯
两人座驾纵没旁人我懂欣赏孤与单
就算深宵失眠寂寞瀰漫有些冰冷
寻到心中所爱 从未多心想再拣
就算一人上班一人候车偶尔自叹
我仍学会假日陪同友好倾通宵买衫
就算相恋艰难日夜缓慢世间很冷
回忆不敢偷懒 留守到尾不见从不散
回忆不敢偷懒 来生你我都再难失散
就算一人上班一人候车偶尔自叹
我仍学会假日陪同友好似当初贪玩
就算相恋艰难日夜缓慢世间很冷
回忆不敢偷懒 留守到尾不见从不散

      红色五月，北大110年校庆，胡主席访日，各行各业红红火火~~~5月12日，五月变成了黑白的，万人掩埋，几亿人掩面哭泣~~~

      过去无法改写，愿逝者安息，生者坚强！

      

      毕业临近，千言万语

      决定拿起DV，记录最后的日子

      昨天看到Friends中Rituel和Ross的高中记忆，那种痴情的等待，深情地注视，而她却让一切迟来了十年

     

      忙活了一段日子，毕业论文初步完成，车也学得差不多了

      剩下的日子，留给校园~~~

               

      三月结束之前，一定要爬上来给一年的申请留下些纪念。
