[A New Day Has Come]2004/12/18
“Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has... come”
每天一個人面對多少脆弱？用自己一雙肩膀去承接多少壓力？有形無形、被理解被誤解、受傷或傷害人…夜晚入睡前，總是期待著，睜開眼睛時，就是全新的一天，不再受過去綑綁。
朋友問：過去縱然有不愉快，卻也有許多美好，難道不值得紀念保存嗎？
若站在「人是理性動物」此一前提上展開討論，透過人一致、遞移且完全的偏好排序來計算，發現過去就像個抽屜，收納著許多許多不願被回顧的點滴，而之所以不願再度受審視，正是因為成本大於利益，身為理性行動者，何苦來哉？當然，這只是滄海一粟的經驗。
曾經讀到一段聖經上的文字：There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.（歌林多前書10：13）”escape” 一字使我久久不能自已，畢竟上帝讓人所承受的必定在人能力所及之內，即便我軟弱至極，還能走為上策，祂並沒有拿刀押著我的脖子說「去！現在就去解決！」沒有，祂允許我臨陣脫逃，等我重新裝備好了，帶著足夠的勇氣及智慧再回來修理故障的機具。或者，只是某一個時間，某一個念頭，就可以解開了。
有沒有可能這反而成為逃避過去的藉口？有，極有可能，但我相信當祂為我預備足夠的信心時，就像葡萄成熟那樣，自然會煥發出圓熟的光采。我靜待那一刻來臨。然而現在的我，仍然期待全新的一天，珍惜每一個今天。
“A New Day Has Come” sung by Celin Dion
A new day...
A new day...
I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear
Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you
Hush, love
I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has... come
Where it was dark now there's light
Where there was pain now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy
Hush, love
I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has...
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has... come
Ohhh, a light
Hush, now
I see a light in your eyes
All in the eyes of the boy
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Hush, now
Hush, now
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has... come”
