玫瑰

(Written by Amanda McBroom)

Some say love, it is a river

有人說，愛，它是條河流

That drowns the tender reed
淹沒了柔弱的蘆草

Some say love, it is a razor
有人說，愛，它是把剃刀

That leaves your soul to bleed
讓你的心靈流血不止

Some say love, it is a hunger,
有人說，愛，它是種飢渴

An endless aching need
一種綿延無盡、痛苦的需索

I say love, it is a flower,
我說愛，它是一朵花

And you, its only seed
而你，就是它唯一的種子

It's the heart, afraid of breaking,
唯有那種懼怕傷痛的心

That never learns to dance
才永遠學不會歡舞

It's the dream, afraid of waking,
唯有那種恐懼醒來的夢

That never takes a chance
才永遠不敢冒險嘗試

It's the one who won't be taken,
是那種拒絕被接受的人

Who cannot seem to give
才似乎無法付出

And the soul, afraid of dyin',
而那種害怕死亡的心

That never learns to live
才永遠學不會存活

When the night has been too lonely,
當夜晚變得太過孤單

And the road has been too long
而道路變得太過漫長

And you think that love is only
同時你以為愛情只是

For the lucky and the strong
屬於那些幸運與強壯的人

Just remember, in the winter
只要記住，在那寒冬之中

Far beneath the bitter snows
在厚厚的苦澀積雪底下

Lies the seed, that with the sun's love,
埋藏著一顆種子，它隨著太陽的愛

In the spring becomes the rose
將在春天轉變為玫瑰

「The Rose」這部電影由貝蒂密勒（Bette Midler）領銜主演，基本上是以被譽為60年代最偉大白人搖滾女歌手、但是已經在1970年因為吸食海洛因過量而暴斃、只活了二十七歲的珍妮絲喬普琳（Janis Joplin）傳記為故事的藍本，本來打算以喬普琳的小名「Pearl」當作標題，但由於喬普琳的家屬拒絕同意，只好把劇情加以修改，讓故事女主角變成了一個小名叫做「Rose」的搖滾女歌手，同時片名也改成了「The Rose」，在台灣上映的時候，被翻譯為「歌聲淚痕」

Eternal embrace?Couple still hugging 5,000 years on ROME (Reuters) -

Call it the eternal embrace. Archaeologists in Italy have discovered a coupleburied 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, hugging each other.

"It's an extraordinary case," said Elena Menotti, wholed the team on their dig near the northern city ofMantova.

"There has not been a double burial found in the Neolithic period, much less two people hugging -- andthey really are hugging.

"Menotti said she believed the two, almost certainly aman and a woman although that needs to be confirmed, died young because their teeth were mostly intact andnot worn down.

"I must say that when we discovered it, we all becamevery excited. I've been doing this job for 25 years. I've done digs at Pompeii, all the famous sites," she told Reuters.

"But I've never been so moved because this is thediscovery of something special.

"A laboratory will now try to determine the couple'sage at the time of death and how long they had beenburied.

Anger Therapy(6)---by Lisa Engeihardt & Karen katafiasz

.
You are not responsible for others’ anger, only for your own actions. If you have inadvertently offended someone, apologize and do your part to make things right. If you have hurt someone intentionally, also explore the source of your own anger.

Responsible*
你可以扶人一把，但是不能將他們攬在身上。

The negative traits in others that anger us often those that we reject in ourselves. Bring your shadow side—the impulses and weaknesses that you hide from yourself and others—into the light of self—truth.

Self-truth*
自我認知愈清明，憤怒就無所遁形。

Let your anger guide you to social as well as personal change. Defend the innocent, protect the weak, help the helpless. Advocate, vote, minister, volunteer, serve others. Turn your anger at injustice into energy for transforming the world.

Anger*
大人之怒安天下，小人之怒徒傷身。

Human emotions are interconnected in a web of surpassing beauty and strength. If you suppress one emotion, like anger, you damage your total emotional well-being. Release and resolve your anger and your release unbounded passion, energy, and joy.

Unbounded*
不要用憤怒禁錮自己，你是天地之間的自由人。

The anger that you have embraced has etched deep canyons of humility, compassion, courage, and strength within you. Love your anger; share the gifts it has given you. It has helped to sculpt the beauty of your soul.

Soul*
憤怒是靈魂的踏腳石，幫助我們一步一步深入人性的堂奧。

You can love your anger without living your anger. When you feel angry—as you will many times in your life—read over the steps in this book that apply. Then use your anger to become more yourself, more at peace, more alive.

Peace*
好啦！該消氣了，與自己和這個世界簽下和平協定。
