The Spring

今天在鹿特丹的博物館公園(Museum Park)遇見花樹，春天的氣息，雖然遲了，但終究來了...

想到一部呼應春天的經典電影：Before Sunrise，故事場景在維也納，描述一對異國年輕人(Jesse and Celine)的邂逅、對話以及他們對愛情那份既期待又擔心失去的心情。

Jesse: And this old friend of mine said, at the birth of his child--it was a home birth and he was there helping out and everything--at that profound moment of birth, all he could think about was death. That he was seeing something experience life for the first time, struggling for a breath, and knowing that it was going to die someday. He couldn't get it out of his head.

Celine: I think that's why life is so interesting--because it's going to end.

Jesse: I know. Death ups the ante of being alive.

Celine: It's the same for us tonight, though. If we knew we were going to see each other next week, it would not be the same energy, no?

Jesse: Yeah, I know.

[...]

Celine: But for some people, there are no real good-byes. I think if you have a meaningful experience  with someone else, a true communication, they are with you forever in a way. We are all a part of each other in ways we'll never know.
