風起之時

明年四月在日本山形縣佐藤纖維公司的頭路。這一份謎樣賓果般的工作機會:挑戰,踏實,未知,還有溫泉,雪跟很多羊毛

承擔選擇帶來的得失就像挺起腰桿雙手一攤直立向後倒入游泳池,

啪!!!!!!!!!!
剎那很痛但是一下就在我喜愛的水中悠遊 ~ 請永保信念。


至少日本跟臺灣近多了。
開始工作前仍有一段時間可以學習日語,這些機緣巧合都銜接得剛剛好。人生到現在學了不少外語,從一開始的英語,俄語,法語,到現在的日語,其實我都很膽戰心驚也很汗顏真正掌握的少之又少。

感謝身邊總是有幫我匯集氣流滑翔的人氣,讓我有幸跟剛剛好搭上線。

Stranger Than Fiction by Joan Fontcuberta 

"...The works inflate truth to its bursting point, where the artist sets up a tug-of-war between our beliefs and scepticism.... it also compels us to suspend our belief and join him on his remarkable journeys into his fictional worlds." It is ironically funny that half way through the exhibition, I switched my point of view from 90% doubting into 50% believing in his humorous 'lies'. Perhaps I rather believe in unreasonable(?) wonders in the world than blocking all kinds of possibilities. After all what I do most of the time is to 'make believe'. In photography, seeing in never believing, that is the core message Joan wanted to convey. 
Recently, I have been thinking about how does 'mind' work, this is due to the influence of Eckhart Tolle, the author of Practicing the Power of Now. To understand his theory(again, not a very suitable choice of word), one must lift its mind off the control centre of the body and soul... because mind is a self-projected illusion, which does not represent your very own being. What one feels/ thinks/ sees does not always reflect ourselves truthfully, whether it is an in-bound communication among oneself or an out-bound one to the others. Especially under the illusion of 'time' that mind likes to play tricks, which causes one to constantly stuck in the past or future, but present. In other words, we lock ourselves into the prison and throw the key away. Perhaps what is stranger than fiction is when one is blessed to live in the moment but resist to do so.
