I won't give up - Jason Mraz

Last Sunday, Chung Yan shared how his mum compared him with the others, i.e. personal achievement, job, etc.

I experienced the same last night. My mum judged that attending to church is wasting time, Christian is devil-nature, I'm a failure because not earning lots of money. The words were insulting and totally denied myself. That's pretty hurt. However, my heart was calm. Why was I too calm for this?

May be I know someone experienced the same and I'm not the only one facing this kind of situation. 
May be I know my mum needed a way to express her temper. And I was just the unlucky one to suffer this.
May be I don't care about what she said anymore. I don't even care if she becomes a Christian or not. 
My brain told me not to give up, but inside my heart, I'm too tired to carry on.

Through all the experience, I have to trust it's all worth.
Through all the space and grace, I have to believe there is still so much awaiting for me to explore and grow up. 
Seems like Jesus telling me that: 
"And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find"



When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up, still looking up.

Well, I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

Bonfire heart- James Blunt

'bonfire heart' 是我在德國再次及多次聽到的歌,一聽就喜歡上,卻不知其名。
多得兩蚊找到,每逢播這歌,就感受到旅行那自由自在、放任出走和擁抱每一天的感覺,
好想再次出走


Days in Salzburg, Austria

由 Berchtesgaden 到奧地利的 Salzburg 只需半小時車程,可惜在這兒的幾天都天陰下雨。
第一天到Salt mine 參觀開採鹽礦的地洞,裡面比較涼,還有一個湖,又有長長的滑梯玩,都幾開心的。

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
隔天到Hellbrunn Palace,以前某王子夏天的避暑皇宮,只來玩耍,所以裡面沒有金璧輝煌的裝潢,取而代之,有大量的water  tricks,包括用水推動的音樂設施、道具和各處意想不到的噴水位,保證玩到尖叫,入得去玩,預定要濕身。



看似普通的公園石桌和石椅,也會噴水的

歐洲很多鹿的東西,這鹿的角也會噴水的。

下午到了一個Salzburg Freilicht Museum ,是一個outdoor museum ,裡面活生生地展示一個社區過往不同時期奧地利人的房屋。




這是真的火車軌,會有真的火車隨時經過
一方面要把握時間拍照,另一方面又想要站在路軌上,就這樣搖搖晃晃的,都玩得好開心,快樂其實可以好無聊又好簡單。


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
登山已成了我們到每個地方的例行公事
看到厚厚的雲層,都擔心看不到風景
可是我們還要去,因為我們買了Salzburg card,登山有優惠,為了回本,唉,上吧!


不負眾望,果然看不到風景,喜出望外的是一片雲海,太美了!

每逢山頂必定有的十字架,忽發奇想,我一定要去一趟以色列!

下山了,秋意越濃,地上越多枯葉

體力透支後要補充energy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
這天可是相當漫長的一天,我們要等到半夜一時多坐火車到瑞士。
為了殺時間,感覺自己走遍了Salzburg

又是莫扎特先生


原來男人彈豎琴是如此優雅的

大樓翻新工程用的圍網,看了幾次才看到有趣之處

外牆很像白朱古力的銀行

外國地方大,連大型西洋象棋也容得下,半個人高的棋子真的搬得動,捉棋之餘,還能練舉重。

除了行山,外國的城堡也是行不完。
這座位於Salzburg 山上的地標座落市中心的山上,無論到哪裡去,都一定遠眺得到。



晚餐食了久違了的risotto

到車站了,混了幾小時等夜車去瑞士


到外地旅遊,腳步慢點,多機會留意身邊的事物,連路軌上的標誌也覺有趣
