幽兰

前几天，为一群友人在家里搞了个聚会，聊的天南地北，说到我水盆是我人缘桃花的风水位，风水师叮咛得摆几盆花来增进增进点。

没想到，两天后，其中一位逛Ikea时，就顺便买了一盆兰花送我。

之前，都没真的养过任何花草的。兰花，印象中好想没那么容易照料，万一死掉了，还在风水位，不是赔了夫人又折兵？没法，上网略查了一下，其实即容易，但也满讲究。

容易 － 不用每天浇水，每个月施肥一次。

讲究 － 要注意沥水（最好是用雨水浇水），以防根部浸烂。不能暴晒，但也要阳光足够。看到一篇网页还讲到，如果能效仿兰花在热带雨林凉风习习，有风中摇奕的感觉最好。

心想，不简单的一株兰花，怎么和我一样龟毛 － 总体来讲还满随便，但其中还满挑剔和计较。

又游览了一会，读到孔子特喜爱兰花，为了兰花所代表的特质。所谓 “芝兰生于深谷，不以无人而不芳；君子修道立德，不为困穷而改节”。

那时，自己感慨的说道：飘逸兰花， 没赏识者，兰花依旧清贵优雅。严蓄寒冬，只为蕴含它再度绽放的魅力。

可能友人真的买对了。

The Road Not Taken
- Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And look down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
because it was grassy and wanted wear;
though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two road diverged in a wood and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Still meandering along.

Jack Johnson Banana Pancakes

My Apple TV is up (finally!) and I now have 

MUSIC

*manic laughter* 

playing from my iTunes library 

on something better than then built in speakers. 

Life takes on a different quality now.

Oh, and the couch. 

And the remote. 

Just lacking now.. that banana pancake. 

At the end of the day, 

when there could be no other reason to be had, 

it may just 

amount to knowing

that 

I can.
