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.

《生死創造與成化》__ 江紹倫
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!〞
《CCCC Day 13 — in GTA》__ Bonbon Hu (65)
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.
