Now and Then

Several people come to my mind now and then.

I have thick affection for some of them.

Their faces always remain vividly in my mind.

But some are not on good terms with me.

Luckily, the memories of this group of people

have blurred gradually as time goes by.

The Beatles  - Now and Then

One, two, three

I know it's true

It's all because of you

And if I make it through

It's all because of you

And now and then

If we must start again

Well, we will know for sure

That I will love you

Now and then

I miss you

Oh, now and then

I want you to be there for me

Always to return to me

I know it's true

It's all because of you

And if you go away

I know you'll never stay

Now and then

I miss you

Oh, now and then

I want you to be there for me

I know it's true

It's all because of you

And if I make it through

It's all because of you

Who Leaving Who

The world has been changing so fast that 

it has been moving on without me.

It leaves me.

Not I leaving it.

Mark Knopfler- My Bacon Roll 

I never got the elbow

Just telling you

Before you go

Only telling you

Just so you know

I never got the elbow

I slung it in

Had it up to here

I just pulled the pin

Went and had a beer

I used to love a bit of folding

Just for getting by

A wad of cash

Now that's out of date

And so am I

As pie and mash

S'cuse me, s'cuse me

Have you got my roll?

My roll? My bacon roll?

The time they took us bowling

What was that about?

I thought what a joke

I just went out

And had a smoke

Then the white water rafting

Just some know-it-all

With the new regime

There to show us all

How to build a team

He says, 

"what do you think we're doing?"

I said, 

"don't ask me

I've no idea"

They all laughed at that

That was pretty funny actually

S'cuse me, s'cuse me

Have you got my roll?

My roll? My bacon roll?

Have you got my roll?

My roll? My bacon roll?

I could order you a toastie

Just like that one there

Or the same in plain white bread

When you're dealing with a toastie

What do you prefer

Brown or red?

I never got the elbow

Just telling you

Before you go

Only telling you

Just so you know

Welcoming Winter on the Start of Winter

Among the twenty-four solar terms are

the Start of Spring, the Start of Summer,

the Start of Autumn, and the Start of Winter,

each marking the beginning of the season.

The Start of Winter on November 7, 2026,

marked the arrival of winter in the solar calendar.

Yet the days that followed still

carried a touch of autumn.

Until this morning,

when the temperature suddenly dropped,

bringing a faint chill to the air.

This morning is a true winter morning.

Roland Keating - Winter Song

This is my winter song to you

The storm is coming soon

It rolls in from the sea

My voice: a beacon in the night

My words will be your light

To carry you to me

Is love alive?

Is love?

They say that things just cannot grow

Beneath the winter snow

Or so I have been told

They say we're buried far

Just like a distant star

I simply cannot hold

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

This is my winter song

December never felt so long

'cause you're not where you belong

Inside my arms

I still believe in summer days

The seasons always change

And life will find a way

I'll be your harvester of light

And send it out tonight

So we can start again

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

This is my winter song

December never felt so long

'cause you're not where you belong

Inside my arms

This is my winter song to you

The storm is coming soon

It rolls in from the sea

My love: a beacon in the night

My words will be your light

To carry you to me

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

水墨幾筆 - 立冬迎冬（15cm x15cm) （2026）

二十四節氣有

立春、立夏、立秋及立冬，

各自標示季節的開始。

2026年11月7日立冬，

在節氣上迎來了冬季。

但跟著的幾天仍帶着秋意。

直到今晨，溫度骤降，

稍覺微寒。

這個清晨，

是冬天的清晨。

Time Passages between a Gen Z and a Baby Boomer

A Gen Z chatted with a Baby Boomer.

The Gen Z said, 

"If I had been born a Baby Boomer, 

I would be leading a better life than 

I am now."

The Baby Boomer said, 

"If I had been born a Gen Z, 

I would have led a better life than 

I did back then."

Al Stewart - Time Passage

It was late in December, 

the sky turned to snow

All around the day was 

going down slow

Night like a river beginning to flow

I felt the beat of my mind go

Drifting into

Time passages

Years go falling in the fading light

Time passages

Buy me a ticket on 

the last train home tonight

Well, I'm not the kind to live in the past

The years run too short and 

the days too fast

The things you lean on 

are things that don't last

Well, it's just now and then, 

my line gets cast into these

Time passages

There's something back there 

that you left behind

Oh, time passages

Buy me a ticket on 

the last train home tonight

Hear the echoes and 

feel yourself starting to turn

Don't know why you should feel

That there's something to learn

It's just a game that you play

Well, the picture is changing, 

now you're part of a crowd

They're laughing at something, 

and the music's loud

A girl comes towards you, 

you once used to know

You reach out your hand, 

but you're all alone in those

Time passages

I know you're in there, 

you're just out of sight

Oh, time passages

Buy me a ticket on 

the last train home tonight

Carried Away by Passion

When one is down,

one is easily carried away by passion.

Carried away by what?

By certain people?

By certain events?

By mere things?

Who can help?

No one can help, except oneself.

\

Crosby, Stills & Nash – Carried Away

You came from out of the skies

Your skin and your eyes

The colours of bronze

The moon in your ear

Twinkled and shone

Soon you'll be gone

Sailing out on the blue

Your old man and you

Drifting along

Leaving me here

Thinking it through

Soon you'll be gone

Moving through my changes 

as fast as I can

Trying to bring a balance to 

me and the man

Part of me is screaming to say

I want to be carried away

Moving through my changes 

as fast as I can

Trying to bring a balance 

to me and the man

Part of me is screaming to say

I want to be carried away

From out of the skies

Your skin and your eyes

The colours of bronze

The star in your ear

Twinkled and shone

Soon you'll be gone

Soon to fall in love again with winter

In these early days of November,

A rain will suddenly fall.

With each passing rain,

The weather grows cooler and cooler,

Carrying a faint hint of winter.

I am someone who fears heat.

I love winter!

Billie Marten - Winter Song

"Winter Song"

This is my winter song to you

The storm is coming soon

It rolls in from the sea

My voice; a beacon in the night

My words will be your light

To carry you to me

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love-

They say that things just cannot grow

Beneath the winter snow

Or so I have been told

They say we're buried far

Just like a distant star

I simply cannot hold

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love-

This is my winter song

December never felt so wrong

Because you're not where you belong

Inside my arms

I still believe in summer days

The seasons always change

And life will find a way

I'll be your harvester of light

And send it out tonight

So we can start again

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love-

This is my winter song

December never felt so wrong

Because you're not where you belong

Inside my arms

This is my winter song to you

The storm is coming soon

It rolls in from the sea

My love; a beacon in the night

My words will be your light

To carry you to me

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

A Few Strokes of Ink Paint– 

Sudden Autumn Rain (15cm x 15cm) (2026) 

水墨幾筆 - 特如其來的幾場秋雨（15cm x15cm) （2026）

十一月初的這幾天， 

會突如其來下一場雨。 

幾場雨下來， 

天氣越來越清涼， 

有點冬天的氣息了。

我是怕熱的人， 

我愛冬天。

Life is Like a Passing Dream.

Life is like a passing dream.

It's never what it seems to be

from day to day:

Sometimes, a dream is better than life.

Sometimes, a dream is worse than life.

In either case, dreams can bring one

out of one's reality and may

give one some hints to improve it.

Play To The World · Barclay James Harvest

You - you can make the day seem right

And make the darkness bright

That's what you do

Girl, don't hide your love away

You'll want it back some day

That's what they say

And, my friend

We're gonna make it right

And play to the world tonight

We'll play to the world

Time, what's to become of me?

What will the future see?

What will they say?

Life is like a passing dream

It's never what it seems to be

From day to day

And, my friend

We're gonna make it right

And play to the world tonight

We'll play to the world
