印第安那的陽光

親愛なる君へ :

天空是湛藍色的,
森林是深綠色的,
田野是金黃色的,
草地是翠綠色的,
房子是五顏六色的!

不戴太陽眼鏡,眼睛真的會有點睜不開!這裡,開闊遼放的視野,心會靜下來,腳步卻會停不下來!好似一股回歸大地之母的溫暖,深深吸引我們乾涸的肺腑、寂寞的心靈!!!

難怪這鄉野僻壤不需要華那威秀、新光三越!

加設屋頂的橋是印第安那獨特的一景!每一座橋都有他們的歷史沿革!不過這座例外!它只是公園裡小湖旁的一個小裝飾品!歷史上並不是特別造來方便交通及運輸的。但它還是很別緻可愛!從裡面望出去,就是一片湖光山色的美景!

晚餐過後,在這裡稍稍散步一會兒,很是悠閒恬靜。但老實說,眼底再怎麼映出美麗的景色,我的心仍然是空空蕩蕩的,腳步沈甸甸的,但卻感受不到踏實的感覺!

想起一首詩:
『村舍外,古城旁,杖藜徐步轉斜陽。
殷勤昨夜三更雨,又得浮生一日涼。』

我說忙不忙,說累也不累!暑假到了,再過約半個多月就要參加博士檢定考!我沒有什麼心思唸書,也不會很緊張!看起來好像很閒適的下午生活,其實在我空空的心裡,更加顯的孤獨與悲涼!人生中,原本期待一步步走下去的路程,現在一筆筆地從計畫表中刪掉!!!我不知道該去恨還是放棄,那一種答案對我來說都很痛苦。

若是要我就這麼過下去,那我也只能麻痺自己!但我已經很久沒好好睡上一覺!好想...好想...再一次感受希望及溫暖!







Beautiful Rainy Day in Bloomington

It rained a lot on that day. After taking Yoshiki to Indianapolis airport, Nathan and I decided to go to Bloomington, exploring the so called "roast duck noodle soup." My GPS navigation system did offer a great help while we were on our way from Indy to Bloomington. About an hour or so, we got there.

Well, the "roast duck noodle soup" was not that fascinating and delicious actually. It was just a bowl of soup and noodles with some roast duck and vegetables on the top. The amount of noodles was not enough for a man and the roast duck was a little too salty. Hahahaha…guess what?! It cost me USD $7. Luckily, we did not need to pay tips.

If this store ran it business in Taiwan, it would not last more than 3 months.

Since we were already in Bloomington, it would be a waste if we did not pay a visit to Indiana University. It was my second time visiting IU, and I really love its campus. It is more like a garden to me, not just bunches of classrooms locating here and there. Because of the rain, the air was so refreshing, making trees and flowers more green and red.

Nathan and I also stopped by a souvenir store of IU. Anything has an "Indiana University" logograph on it is worth more USD even if it is made in China. This made me wonder whether we are buying the merchandise or just the name. I guess this is the "usual thing" happening everywhere in the world.

I didn't buy anything in that store. But I asked myself: will I buy some souvenirs of ISU when I am ready to go back Taiwan? What the hell! ...
