    雪山下的王国——Nepal

    当飞机飞行在青藏高原的上空,我们离这些连绵不绝的山脉如此接近,整个大地展示着如此壮阔而美丽的地貌。

    当我们穿越喜马拉雅山脉,飞过珠穆朗玛山峰,真的很难用语言描述当时这样的时刻——我想象这些古老的山脉已矗立几百万年,见证着地球远古以来的演变;而人类,只是最近才出现的有待被进化的新物种。

     

    加德满都Kathmandu的机场很小,到市中心则可以见到国王的王宫和聚集在周围的武装部队的军人和装甲车。虽是2月的冬天,白日的阳光仍然感觉炙热。当我踏上这片雪山下的土地,这里的一切充满新奇和冒险。这里的书面文字像阿拉伯文,我无法记住或者读出任何的街道的名字、或者许多的小巷根本没有名字;Suzuki的士小汽车可以如同中国的自行车一样自由穿梭于纷繁狭窄的小巷之间。和一般的当地人很难用英语沟通,它们只能听懂简单的数字。

    妇女们大都穿着艳丽的民族服装,男人们则大都穿着打着Nike大钩或者是Adidas之类名牌的休闲服。许多人的额头上点着每日祈祷后的红点,许多慵懒的黄狗晒着太阳;街上许多来来往往并没有长期工作的男青年们,抽着烟,聊着天,等待和寻找可能的活。还有很破的挤满人的奔驰牌长途巴士,以及印度的世界名牌塔塔TATA的车车。

     

    祈祷和祭拜是普通人生活的重要组成部分,相信因果报应,相信轮回转世——那刻画在塔上的永恒的眼睛,看着所有的世人此生彼生,指引着世人如何到达彼岸。

     

    博卡拉Pokhara是一个安宁静谧的小城,倚山靠湖。在蓝蓝的费娃湖Phewa Lake上遥望雪山,发呆,或者思索人生。

    在帕坦古老的广场上,老人们安详地消磨午后时光。

     

    而在火葬场,我们亲眼所见死亡如此习以为常——亲人们为死者洗礼,举行简单的祈祷仪式,搬上木堆——于是,去往天堂,去往他们的来世,下一个轮回的开始

     

    火葬场帕坦杜巴广场

    这一幕如此震撼,可是这样的习俗已经沿袭了几百年:死亡的悲伤,就好像婴儿出生喜悦与哭泣——是开始,是结束,是此生和来生的一道门,是轮回的过程;而人生本身,也就是修行的一个过程

     

    我看见,那些鸟儿如此自由地飞翔,在广场上,在费娃湖上,在雪山脚下......

     

    Coffee Shop

    Falling in love at a Coffee Shop by Landon Pigg

    Album - Coffee Shop
        

    在温暖午后的咖啡馆 音乐悠悠地围绕

    怀念那个遇见你的午后——At the Coffee Shop

    次一刻 彼一刻 仿佛穿越时空

    停止在那个瞬间——你透过玻璃窗看见了我

    I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you
    Yes theres a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you.
    I've seen the paths that your eyes wander down
    I want to come too

    I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you

    No one understands me quite like you do
    Through all of the shadowy corners of me

    I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
    I love so much
    All of the while I never knew
    I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
    I love so much
    All of the while I never knew

    I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you
    Yes theres a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you.
    I've seen the waters that make your eyes shine
    Now I'm shining too

    Because oh because
    I've fallen quite hard over you

    If I didn't know you, I'd rather not know
    If I couldn't have you, I'd rather be alone

    I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
    I love so much
    All of the while I never knew
    I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
    I love so much
    All of the while, I never knew

    All of the while , all of the while
    It was you
