  • 遲十二小時的年尾

    2014年是一個高高低低起伏很大的一年,變化無常,是燦爛的一年,也是陰沉的年。

    頭年,還是在ecVision上班,工作量比較少,還有時間做外快,不過財多身子弱,差不多整個冬季都是病著過日子。工作慢下來,讓我有時間去想想自己的人生。

    「喜愛探險的我其實厭倦了工作」的確是我的心聲。雖然年紀已經不輕,但還算有有一點本錢,所以開始了Freelancer的日子,好讓我有更多機會去探索神創造的天與地。足不出戶,人們常常說我不去工作,其實我只是在家裡工作。不過有時候的確沒有工作,而沒有收入。但我讚美神,神的恩典是絕對是夠用。每次在我需要工作的時候,總會給我供應,讓我知道自己不是缺乏。沒想到這一年的收入起上年還多!

    沒有上班,只是時間變得自由。不過太多自由,反而變得不節制,有時候一整天也是白過,我便會懷疑自己的決定是否正確。感謝主,每次覺得失敗的時候,總有主的安慰。

    看看2014年的相片簿,今年拍多了很多很多相片,也去過不少地方。我想,拍攝,周圍拍攝是我喜樂的泉源。

    當冬夜漸暖,放下工作,卻去探索身處的地方。攀過玉桂山頂,穿越鴨脷排的岩石,原來一直居住的鴨脷洲是一個看星看日的好地方。

    夏天遊山玩水,考了潛水牌,一嘗在西貢海底世界,又到海下浮潛,到布吉自駕遊。陽光與海,皮膚是黑色的。

    暑假過後,開學天是背包天,爬山走路是每天的工作。看過雲南雪山,香格里拉大草原,走進原始森林,沒有互聯網,是另一個世界的生活。其後一個人到四川,看看九寨溝的水,一嘗多年來的心願。

    回到香港,雨傘運動牽起了一場良心和暴力的爭戰。每天心裡都很著急,希望有天能改變社會的「正常」生活。雖然還是沒有真普選,但這個運動讓我知道神才是我真正的盼望。

    十一月,回到Razorfish工作,多了很多外國人,但感覺大不如前。不過有正常的上班時間,還有與魚兒聚舊,生活總算沒有留白。

    聖誕前夕,一直為南美旅行而擔心,不過最終也放下了心,相信神的安排和帶領。這趟旅程我要感恩,雖然秘魯天空之城瀰漫一片白霧,但適當的拍攝時候,天氣總是美好。還有,能夠順利進入玻利維亞是可喜可賀,看過天空之鏡,還看到Uyuni的銀河,真的喜出望外!
