凡·高的《向日葵》,一朵朵葵花在阳光下怒放,仿佛金色的火焰。凡·高说,那是爱的最强光。在颇多失意彷徨的日子里,那大朵的葵花,给他幽暗沉郁的心,带来一抹光亮。

这让我想起小时候,在祖母怀里听故事,看着美丽的萤火虫,数着天上的繁星,做着美好的梦,心才有了着落。

Come Healing
演唱:Leonard Cohen
O, gather up the brokenness
Bring it to me now
The fragrance of those promises
You never dared to vow
The splinters that you carried
The cross you left behind
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind
And let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb
Behold the gates of mercy
In arbitrary space
And none of us deserving
Of cruelty or the grace
O, solitude of longing
Where love has been confined
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind
O, see the darkness yielding
That tore the light apart
Come healing of the reason
Come healing of the heart
O, troubledness concealing
An undivided love
The heart beneath is teaching
To the broken heart above
And let the heavens falter
Let the earth proclaim
Come healing of the altar
Come healing of the name
O, longing of the branches
To lift the little bud
O, longing of the arteries
To purify the blood
And let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb
O let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb
