We had a very good day, sunny at 16C – 22C. Tom/Sherry offered to “drive” me in their car to do the Cabot Trail. That was a fantastic idea. That would allow me to fully enjoy the view without having to pay any attention to the road, GPS, fuel gauge and map, etc.

古文粵譯：子產論尹何為邑(左傳)
子皮欲使尹何為邑。子產曰：「少，未知可否。」
子皮想派尹何做自己封邑的行政長官。子產說︰「佢咁後生，唔知掂唔掂喎。」
子皮曰：「愿，吾愛之，不吾叛也。使夫往而學焉，夫亦愈知治矣。」
子皮說︰「佢為人老實，得我鍾意，佢不會背叛我。俾他去學下做，就會越做越掂架啦。」 Continue reading

Drummondville, QC to Fredericton, NB
I had a really good sleep last night. I was trying to stay up to watch the Stanley Cup final game, but I couldn’t after 1 period. Good thing that I didn’t, it went into double overtime. LA Kings won the cup.

詩人死生
宗教有無限威力，而這威力是由人創生的。人所終極關心的，是應該如何處理和面對死和生。對此，莊子有話要說，《大宗師》第二段云：
〝死生，命也；其有夜旦之常，天也。人之有所不得與，皆物之情也。彼特以天為父，而身猶愛之，而況其卓乎！人特以有君為愈乎己，而身猶死之，而況其真乎！泉涸，魚相與處於陸，相呴以濕，相濡以沫，不如相忘於江湖。與其譽堯而非桀也，不如兩忘而化其道。夫藏舟於壑。藏山於澤，謂之固矣！然而夜半有力者負之而走，昧者不知也。藏小大有宜，猶有所遁。若夫藏天下於天下而不得所遁，是恆物之大情也。特犯人之形而猶喜之。若人之形者，萬化而未始有極也，其為樂可勝計邪？故聖人將遊於物之所不得循而皆存。善妖善老，善始善終，人猶效之，又況萬物之所係而一化之所待乎！〞
我節譯原文為白話文：〝生和死都是自然規律，必須接受。即如每天都有白日和黑夜。……把小東西收藏在大地方是對的，但是仍有失去的可能。如果把大自然託付給它自己，就不會有失了。這是萬物的實情。……聖人選擇遊心於大道，因為它是不可失的。對於安順地處理大自然、老年、人的始終，大家都向他學習，豈能不順從那萬物所居又期待轉化的自然之道呀！〞
Cross Canada coast to coast Day 13. June 12, 2014.
I am trying to wait out the rain storm by staying in Mississauga for an extra day. It is not a bad idea at all. I was able
to sleep in, and felt normal again.
…….
The alternatives :
1. Stay in GTA for 2 more days.
2. Do short rainy rides to Ottawa and Quebec City in 2 days.
3. Brace the same rain and do longer rides to Drummondville and Fredericton in 2 days.
