"I do set my bow in the cloud . . . "

Genesis 9 : 8 - 17

8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

i got an sms from my othermother yesterday that reminded me to look up in the sky, for there was a rainbow encircling the midday sun at that moment. i strained my neck a fair bit to see it before having to rush out for an assignment but wow it was worth it. it's been a while since i've seen a circular rainbow, maybe years. it seems like there have been quite a few rainbows this year though, don't know if it's really been more rainbows happening or have people around just been noticing them more.

later that night my bible reading led me to this passage quoted above about Noah and the first rainbow in the sky.

wow it was surely no coincidence.

let us all look up and remember more.

好久没有这样哗啦哗啦的掉泪了。（勿担心，我不难过， 只是被电影影响而已！）

今天看了一部电影，又勾起了我对于 回忆，时间 和 人生 的一些启发和感动。

回家的路上我突然间又想起了某个痛处， 一边开车一边哗啦哗啦地哭了。而今早我又感到了摸名的灵感，带了朋友送我的手帕插在裤子旁边的口带。

原来是种预言，手帕真的派上了用场耶。

when i am happy i take photos. when i am sad i take photos. oddly enough, the photos quite often turn out happy when i am sad and sad when i am happy. whichever happens, the process and the outcome usually work together as a healing experience, making me really feel better as a result. photography heals.

摄影能疗伤。

在哗啦哗啦的当而， 我想起了数年前我也在回家的路途上感伤的事件，又想起了当时拍下的感觉，一到家后屏了命去寻找那一套画面， 在差一点放弃的时候然我找到了。感谢主，若我找不到我一定睡不安。

几个小时前，为了记念再一度感受到回家时感处累累的经历，我再红灯前停车时用手机拍的：


零六年四月雨天。
在巴士公车即将到终站相机的单眼陪着我的双眼一起漠糊时拍的：





刚刚发现：原来我在那个时候就开时倾向我近日常用的漠糊式摄影了。真奇妙！

其实我看电影也蛮容易被感动到哭的。mamma-mia 也可以把我弄哭，我真的是赢了咯，哈。 （可是今天看的当然不是 mamma-mia 啦。。）

现在终于可以平安入睡了。


。 。 。 哦，现在真的跟零六年的那一天一样－－－突然下起倾盆大雨了！


我得去关窗了！晚安！
