She kept in touch by letter- writing. Even after the telephone became easily available, the letter was her medium. She would write several on most days, of which about a fifth have survived….

‘ Nothing has really happened until it has been described. so you must write many letters to your family and friends, and keep a diary.’ Pain was relieved, and pleasure doubled, by recording it.

From Virginia ‘s diaries and letters we can know what she was doing almost every day. The diary was to her like a hammock, for contemplation; the letters were like a trampoline, for literary exercise and gossip. The dominant tone of the diary was melancholy; of the letters, provocation and delight. she showed the diary to no one, and many of the letters must have been put away after a single reading. The are evidence of how extraordinarily full her life had becoming in the closing years of the war.

On Mrs Dalloway

She had hoped to change the whole direction of fiction- writing. She had already written in her diary: ‘ The method of writing smooth narrative can’ t be right. Things don’t happen in one’s mind like that. We experience all the time, an overlapping of images and ideas, and modern novels should convey our mental confusion instead of neatly rearranging it. The reader must sort it out. ‘

如是，留在家中養傷，掛念以前能四處走動的自己，默念：「痊癒了，就要好好的走很多很多路。」

結果，在下雨的夜裡，我做了一個夢。夢中的自己在不停地跑步，跑呀，跑呀，跑呀⋯⋯有風的清涼，有汗水的味道。

我正在跑步。

我無法停下來，一停便茫然。是的，有點這樣子。

“The Basics – under-eye concealer, foundation, and power – are the secret to a great look ” by Bobbi Brown.

到底是什麼，是什麼讓我們去發明那麼多的東西來滿足身體和心靈的需要。我並不喜歡往臉上塗東西，更不喜歡帶金屬顏色的眼影或閃粉什麼的。(化妝小姐總愛推介這些。)但每天都會化淡妝上街，特別是眼睫毛液，不塗便混身不對勁。是的，明知化妝品又貴又不自然，卻又會去看。例如：黑眼圈，明明是自己睡得少，晚上看書看DVD又想想這想想那而來的。沒有早早上床睡覺，或改變作息，倒是沉迷買眼霜眼部精華眼線筆甚至黑眼圈遮蓋膏等產品。更自以為是救星!心裡暗自傻想：”Please save me，eye gel ! ” 要知道，黑眼圈的形成是來自生活習慣，任你如何遮都治標不治本，好自為之啦!美麗，是來自內在的。外面的，不過是遮掩的把戲。

Anyway，我還是會試試剛新買的Bobbi Brown “Creamy concealer kit” ，

” Sand(遮蓋膏的名字)，conceal me please ! “。

把眼鏡摘下邊呷着冰啤酒，邊讓我即時溫習…… 看着看着，我們發現寫在他臉上的徵兆，正在逐一應驗。唯一能做的是，謹記師父的話──「意志可以改變命運。」

因此我深信愛可改變一切不如意的事。

在無意之間，把心裡的小夢想說出來了。即是說，要好好地做了。

一個有故事性，忠實、且有凝眾力的事情。
