traveling day / 旅行日

我們總是說著,找不到答案就去旅行吧,我不再說這句話,因為我安靜地出發了。我的起點和終點都是熟悉再不過的舊地,但是因為心情和季節不同,看到的景色也很新鮮。冬天不是荷花盛開的季節,池子裡有些空蕩,還好有閃亮的陽光,荷花用力地打起精神,耐心等待夏季。

We keep saying that we should take a trip when the answers we are looking for are nowhere to be found. I have stopped saying it, because I am on my way. My beginning point and final destination are places I can't be more familiar with. But I travel in a different state of mind and season, so I get to see fresh scenes. Winter is not the blooming season for lotus. The pond appears kind of empty. Fortunately, the sun still shines, so it seems the flowers try to pull themselves together and wait for the comeback of summer with patience.

在寫寫畫畫裡,我偶然抬頭望向窗外的藍天,我想到多年前和我同來此地的你,正在飛往歐洲的途中,好一陣子不會回來了。

Taking a break from scribbling, I glimpse at the blue sky out of the window. I think of you, who came here with me many years ago. At this moment, you are on your way to Europe, and you won't be coming back for a while.

旅行日裡,每一個人都朝自己的目的地邁進。
On the traveling day, everyone sets out for his own destination...

這種熟悉又陌生的感覺,也是旅行的必要之一,透過一次次的出發,確認,有些人事的確悄悄的在變化之中.

沒錯,最主要的就是要脫離每天熟悉的路線和例行公事,才有辦法用新的眼光來看每日生活。

It's not difficult:-). All you have to do is take up the pen and practice every day. After all, I am not that good:-).

簽字筆素描很有味道!

速寫的時候我喜歡用簽字筆,因為鉛筆的痕跡太短暫了。
