点一支蜡烛
12月1日，世界爱滋日。去这个网站lighttounite.org点一支蜡烛吧。据说每一支点亮的蜡烛，某个公司就会向爱滋研究、医疗捐赠一美元。
每一支蜡烛都是一个故事。看了其中的一些，心中戚戚。数年前看的一部片子『And the Band Played On』，讲述艾滋病从初现到失控的历史；片子的结尾处，在一片烛光中响起的Elton John的那曲感人肺腑的“The Last Song”……
今天乃是感恩节，是美国人最重要的团聚的节日。境由心生，竟然想起了这首忧伤如『卖火柴的小姑娘』的诗歌“Housewarming”（by Thomas R. Smith）：
| In my dream I was the first to arrive at the old home from church. Wind and night had forced through the cracks. I pushed inside, turned on lamps, lit a fire in the stove. Frozen oak logs stung my fingers; it was good pain, my hands reddening on the icy broom-handle as I swept away snow. On Christmas Eve, I prepared a warm place for my mother and father, sister and brothers, grandparants, all my relatives, none dead, none missing, none angry with another, all coming through the woods. |
