英語經典美文欣賞
As a young man, Al was a skilled artist, a potter with a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only some common intestinal(腸的) disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously . But the boy died suddenly that night.
Knowing the death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, he always felt he was guilty. To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could stand, and he turned to alcohol for help. In time Al became an alcoholic.
As the alcoholism progressed, AL began to lose everything he possessed -- his land, house, etc. Finally Al died alone in a small bar. Hearing of Al's death, I thought, "What a totally wasted life! What a complete failure! "
As time went by , I began to revalue my earlier rough judgement . I knew Al's now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring , most loving men I have ever known. I saw the love between Ernie and his children, thinking that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere .
I hadn't heard Ernie talked much about his father. One day, I worked up my courage to ask him what on earth his father had done so that he became such a special person. Ernie said quietly, "As a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, "love you, son."
Tears came to my eyes as I realized what I had been a fool to judge Al as a failure. He had not left any material possessions behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and left behind his best love.

想你我一生中最愛的人美文
想你了,心裏柔柔都是你,在文字裏感覺你,在畫面裏觸摸你,在音樂裏感知你,你知道我在想你嗎?也許思念是一種病,也許思念是愛情的見證,思念花開的季節,你滿窗玫瑰讓我開心,思念夏雨滂沱的季節,你擁我入懷耳語綿綿,思念秋風飄零的季節,那麼遠你來趕赴一場心靈相約,楓葉染紅了天空...

本色春秋美文
靜寂的黃昏。婕獨坐在書房電腦前,耳旁迴旋着莎拉布萊曼的《月光女神》,禁不住心潮澎湃,思緒萬千。總是喜歡在音樂中追尋,回味,思索。比如,此時此刻。在音樂中沉浸,然後,是深深被感染後的自哀自憐及無法排遣的憂傷。善良,熱情,率真,唯美……這些婕天性或後天中有意及無意中...
