看到阿滴的發文,我不禁淚盈滿眶感同身受,謝謝他的勇敢去面對自我的軟弱,並用正面又溫暖的文字來表達他這一年多來的努力,很想為阿滴加油,並給他一個深深的擁抱 阿滴英文

我在2019年底也在一次演講場合裡, 跟阿滴有一樣的狀況出現。原本要講的是「家庭與工作的平衡」, 卻突然感到一種窒息喘不過氣又暈眩的感覺,當下全身濕透又顫抖,在台上硬撐了10分鐘講了完全不知所云的話。那天之後對工作徹底的提不起勁,好像突然喪失了一些目標,也無法正常的正面思考,開始有很多負面情緒和討厭自己的想法。那次是我最後一次回台灣工作,後來美國疫情爆發, 直到現在也快兩年時間沒回台灣
---
在美國疫情爆發的這段時間,我本來有非常恐慌的情緒,感覺看不到明天, 感覺人類要滅亡了, 還好上帝這時伸出了雙手拉我一把。 謝謝 數位時代 創業小聚 Meet Startup 還有好朋友詹益鑑 Dr. IC邀請我共同主持製作 矽谷為什麼? Silicon Valley Insight, 在疫情這段時間,我雖然關在家裡但開拓許多視野並認識很多新朋友,從每一集來賓身上,學習到人生裡有高有低,有成功也有挫折,在聆聽著來賓的故事裡,我還做了許多產業研究, 在這樣的過程裡,得到療癒並更認識了自己,也不再對未來感到恐慌
---
關在家裡的這段時間裡,我跟阿滴一樣學會跟自己對話,每天出去種花,用體力活來分散我內心的恐慌和無力感,並告訴自己是這個世界上獨一無二的存在。同時也跟老胡和孩子,爸媽,妹妹和妹夫有更多時間的相處,讓我不至於感到孤單。 加上Clubhouse的崛起,也在那邊找到更多的朋友,在聆聽他人的故事和自己主動的分享中,對我內心的情緒起了非常正面的影響
---
在過去兩年,很多朋友或粉絲私訊我,為什麼不再做菜?不再分享食譜心得? 只能深深吸一口氣,因為當原本最喜歡也最有成就感的事情,突然有一天變成一件厭惡又害怕的事情,連我都不能理解。 但在疫情這段時間裡,我很努力又充實的過好每一天,才逐漸找回喜歡做菜的能力。現在雖然還是不定時會在社群網路上失蹤好幾天,因為會有突然不想面對網路不想面對人群的狀況,大概很難想像,各種網路數字和留言都是一種壓力的來源,對於阿滴所說的各種情況,我能理解這種突然排山倒海的負面情緒。所幸花了好多時間逐漸恢復,走過這段死蔭幽谷,又更認識自己一次。人生的路途上本來就不是ㄧ帆風順,要幫助自己也要接受他人的幫助,每天早晨起來要用正面的方式告訴自己是獨一無二,值得被愛的人
---
昨天 哇賽心理學 蔡宇哲老師在個人FB上,有談到網紅們的心理壓力, 他考慮要開課幫助大家。非常同意老師的想法,網路世界有太多莫名的負面情緒和壓力, 網紅們在帶給大家歡樂和各種領域知識時,要花很多時間做功課和準備,每一次的內容發布和數據表現, 都像交作業後的打分數
最近台灣疫情爆發,我想也有許多朋友陷入幽谷裡,有很多負面情緒和無力感, 我想給你們加油! 不要為明天感到憂慮, 每一天的我們都是獨一無二的存在,要多愛自己,慢慢的會找到生命的出口。 如果真的壓力很大,手心打開會比手心緊握更輕鬆一些,試著用更多正面角度來看待人生。雖然不能出門,但多看看輕鬆又正面的影片和充滿良善話語的文章,還有抱一盆綠色植物在身邊,看著植物花草每天冒出的新芽, 也是一種療癒的過程. 我們一起加油!

【美國正在努力確保台灣的疫苗供應 台灣內部該停止對於疫苗的抹黑攻擊了】
近日,美國對於確保台灣的疫苗供應,可說不遺於力。日前,美國羅姆尼(Mitt Romney)參議員,在一場聽證會上詢問是否能夠直接把疫苗給台灣,並關切數量是否可以更多,國務卿布林肯(Antony Blinken)則保證政府正在努力確保這些疫苗可以送往台灣。緊接著,拜登政府也宣布,將在未來一年內,向全球一百國提供5億劑的疫苗。
最新的消息則是,羅姆尼參議員與另一位馬基(Edward Markey)參議員,發布聯合聲明表示,將於17日召開「透過夥伴關係強化力量:建立美台關係」聽證會,強化美台關係,聲明中則特別呼籲,美國政府加快實現提供台灣75萬劑疫苗的承諾,並隨時準備回應台北的額外要求,分配疫苗給台灣的軍隊使用。
由此便可以證明,昨日韓國記者對於當今美國政壇的觀察,並非虛言,台灣的確是當今美國政壇的顯學,這又是另外一個美台關係友好的鐵證。
在這樣的氛圍下,對於盡速盡力,甚至是加量提供台灣疫苗,自然是美國政壇的共識。這些都不是一蹴可幾的, 蔡英文 Tsai Ing-wen 總統與 蕭美琴 Bi-khim Hsiao 大使及相關外交人員的努力,讓這股對台灣友善的氛圍發酵,化為實際的行動,更是功不可沒。
與此同時,我們是否該靜下心來,冷靜看待這段時間以來,台灣內部對於疫苗的不當抹黑與作為,到底對於台灣的防疫工作,對於台灣走出疫情的幽谷,有什麼樣的幫助?把日本外相對台灣友好的的發言曲解轉傳,不遵守指揮中心的規範施打疫苗,製造社會的亂象,平添人民在疫情中的不安,實非台灣之福,看在美日等為了台灣疫苗努力奔走的盟友眼中,又做何感想?
在野黨是時候停止攻擊抹黑,團結一致走出疫情了。

《我的幸福5/2 週末》
*週日下午兩點誠品信義書店「廿世紀典範人物」新書分享會,我下午二時開始演講,離上次在台灣大學公開演説。快半年了!分享會報名一小時預告已額滿,但TVBS電視台慷慨的支持。派出SNG車,屆時TVBS文茜的世界周報YouTube 及世界周報Facebook 都將同步直播。
*新書分享會後我將直奔高雄衛武營,參加劉孟捷(李斯特巡禮之年)鋼琴獨奏會。這是劉孟捷回台,最重要的一場音樂會,我目睹他用盡了一切心力。過去即使21歲時在費城代打缺席大師的音樂會,劉孟捷都未曾如此緊張。他此次回台,手術前為了沒有遺憾,共舉行三場音樂會:其中4/17與5/30皆是與國家交響樂團NSO合作:530那一場指揮是呂紹嘉。但他告訴我,某些曲目對他而言,是Piece of Cake :惟獨衞武營這一場,曲目由他自己決定,現場錄影,並且找了金曲獎錄音師同步錄音。

劉夢捷明白他即將面對一個大手術,手術風險之外,他的免疫系統疾病,將使他的康復之路更長。
沒有人可以預知未來,為了圓他的夢,醫院每天都要求他早上、晚上量血壓,報告直接傳給院長。振興醫院院長魏崢雖然是亞洲第一把心臟外科醫師,但也不敢大意。
畢竟這個人的生命那麼脆弱,他的心臟主動脈剝離,那是實質的「心碎」了:但他仍有詩,仍有音樂夢。在生命的交接處,在白日與黑夜的交义口,劉孟捷想為他的音樂生涯,留下最美好的紀錄。
他選擇了李斯特。
在這場音樂會前,他甚至以英文寫下了自己與音樂、疾病的半生回顧:如李斯特的巡禮,有仰望,有沉思,有失落,有幽微的疼痛。他以詩篇般的演奏模式,傾訴,詠嘆。他曾得到天賦,也走過死蔭的幽谷。命運是一層又一層的黑影逼近,老天爺隨時想帶走他。
而他已不再流淚,不再沉浸於悲愴告別:因為對他而言活著並不容易,他要讓自己更深刻的抓住每一分時光之美。
如果時間和空間,正如哲人們所形容的
都是不實際存在的東西:那從不感到衰敗的太陽,也不會比我們了不起多少!
他如艾略特的詩句中所形容的:我們為什麼要如此貪心總在祈禱,想活上整整一個世紀?
蝴蝶雖僅活了一天,已經歷了永恆。
當他的身軀如露水還在藤蔓顫抖時,他送給我們一場「完全浪漫又超技的李斯特」。
等音樂會結束了,至少有一張CD,一段YouTube 影像:不論孟捷代表生命的那朵鮮花是否枯萎,他彈奏如天使的音聲不會飛離,它會停留在那夜,繼續釋放芬芳。
這是盡生命之力、之情獨奏的音樂會。劉孟捷説:這樣當他走進手術室時,會少一點悲傷。
或許快樂的日子本來就不多,但讓這場「完全李斯特.完全劉孟捷」的獨奏會放出神聖的光彩吧!
我必將赴會,不會錯過!我知道此刻的獨奏會,很難複製,因為它綜合了太多的情感、愛念,釋放與生命的抒情。
*劉孟捷為此次獨奏會寫下的文字:This past year has seen some unprecedented changes in the world. Many lives have been lost and many have changed. The world has changed while many of us confront the uncertainty of the future.
For most musicians, life has changed. For months, we have been conducting our lessons online, and concerts have mostly stopped or become an online experience as well. More time has been spent learning how to improve the online teaching experience than one could have imagined. While I have felt the duty to continue teaching, the format the pandemic requires for teaching leaves me unwilling to spend more time than I have to.
And truly, I have had other things to deal with. When the pandemic started to worry the American public in March, I was in the middle of a tour with the String Quartet-in-Residence at Curtis, the Vera Quartet. However, our concerts were canceled, and everything came to a sudden halt.
I felt the universe had sent me an unexpected gift, as I had also just received some terrible news concerning my worsening aortic arches and a diagnosis of kidney cancer. The sudden halt in my professional schedule seemed perfect in its timing. I was able to settle into a monastic existence, to simply practice and attempt to heal.
I see many musicians itching to be concertizing again, and many stepped into new territory, performing on the internet. Many took time to develop new podcasts, and to write new materials for their art. Sadly, many have struggled as they have fallen into desperation without any concert incomes. Altogether the music industry seems to be in peril, and many worry about how music and musicians will survive.
However, I had my own survival to think about. Having been through many difficult experiences in my life, I knew this might be the most difficult I would encounter. My Doctors describe me as a walking time bomb. My condition could be lethal at any moment if my blood pressure gets out of control. So while others wrestle with the fate of the music industry, I’ve needed to face my own fate and mortality.
Playing concerts can mean many things to people. At different times throughout my life, I’ve felt the need to express different aspects of myself. When I was young, I wanted to embody the spirit of romanticism, playing lots of Chopin and Schumann. Then there was a period of time when I wanted to challenge myself by showing off pyrotechnics. I had a brooding period where I turned to the pathos of Rachmaninoff, and then felt the need to return to the purity of Schubert and nobility of Brahms. Throughout this pandemic, I wanted to play Bach. Through Bach’s music I found a kind of spiritual sanctuary.
In considering the program for this concert, I felt again the urge to play music that reflects my current feelings and state of mind. The title of today’s recital, “Years of Pilgrimage” seems to fit exactly what I am experiencing.
Liszt wrote several volumes of “Années de pèlerinage” throughout his life to reflect on thoughts he had during his travels. He links his philosophical thoughts to the scenery which inspired them. “Au Bord d’un Source” describes feelings of rejuvenation while standing next to a clear stream of water, a symbol and source of life and energy. It seems to say, when the stream is so pure, life can be so full of joy.
In the Les jeux d'eaux à la Villa d'Este (The Fountains of the Villa d'Este), the water has a magical and supernatural quality, as Liszt himself wrote in the inscription: "But the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up into eternal life,"( from the Gospel of John.)
For me, I have never felt more connected to Liszt than when he looked upon the valley of Obermann and questioned the meaning of existence. At this moment in my life, I often find myself reflecting my experiences of what I see and read into philosophical musings. Perhaps many people come to a time when this is so.
In all this I have felt gratitude for the love stories and sonnets that one can romantically indulge in, and for storms so violent that they threaten to destroy one’s spirit, even the hell-bound journey which brings up questions about the purpose of life…
On this journey, I felt full and alive as a human being. Looking back on this journey, I am grateful for everything, whether happy or sad, to have made an impact, found and imparted meaning to this life.
The unusual time of this pandemic has marked a milestone for me. I have journeyed back home, and as it happened, this is the first time I have spent so much time in my hometown Kaohsiung in over 35 years. It’s particularly nostalgic to play these pieces as some of them were significant in my early musical career. Vallée d’Obermann was the piece I played in my first competition at the junior high school level, in which I won first prize on the national level, which allowed me to be qualified to apply for a special permission to study abroad. This meant my dream to be educated as a musician could be continued in an environment where I could develop fully. In the following year when I was 13, I won the first Asia-Pacific Youth PIano Competition with the Dante Sonata. The competition catapulted me into national attention as I was headlined in several newspapers, and especially since it was held in Kaohsiung, I became a local hero as well. During the same event, I had a fateful meeting with one of the important influences in my life, Mr. Gary Graffman, who then mentored me throughout not only the years when I was studying at Curtis, but throughout my illness and recovery as a pianist. Right before I departed to study in Philadelphia, I played my first solo recital throughout Taiwan, and along with the Dante Sonata, I also performed the three sonnets.
It’s perfect that now, back in Kaohsiung, all these memories have flooded back into my head. I feel so lucky to have been born here, and to have met my first teacher, Chin-Li Lee, who inspired me on the path to become a musician. Prof. Alexander Sung filled me with dreams of becoming an artist. I am grateful for his belief in my talent, when he chose to give a 12 year old such philosophical pieces to play.
Having once again spent some months in Kaohsiung, I can freshly appreciate the source of inspiration it once was for me. I have returned to the source to heal. Having already glimpsed hell’s gate several times, battered and weathered by the storms of life, I know there is a reason life is this way, and it all will be alright.

*劉孟捷衛武營《李斯特巡禮之年》演奏會中,包括李斯特以佩脫拉克三首情詩譜寫的鋼琴琴詩:這三首情詩是從大詩人佩脫拉克一百多首情詩挑出來的,詩本身就很優美,依此激發李斯特的浪漫主義創作靈感,成為琴藝上最困難演奏,但也特別細膩溫柔的琴詩。
這三首分別是:
〈佩脫拉克第47號十四行詩〉〈佩脫拉克第104號十四行詩〉及〈佩脫拉克第123號十四行詩〉。
Franz Liszt(1811-1886): Sonetto 47 del Petrarca, Sonetto 104 del Petrarca, Sonetto 123 del Petrarca, from Années de pèlerinage, Deuxième année: Italie
李斯特於1846年先出版藝術歌曲《三首佩脫拉克十四行詩》(Tre sonetti del Petrarca),再改成鋼琴獨奏版。
三首佩脫拉克十四行詩
中譯:焦元溥(元溥也是友情贊助,特別準備音樂資料,周日南下,聆賞劉孟捷的樂曲,並且陪同他盯著錄音共三天)
〈第47〉
祝福每天、每月、每年,
所有片刻與鐘點、時間與季節,
在那美麗的原野,
我為一雙眼眸魂縈夢牽。
祝福初遇時的甜,
與愛同在、受苦不停歇,
如弓箭刺穿令我淌血,
傷口永留感動在我心間。
祝福一切我發出的聲音,
當呼喚著我深愛的女郎,
渴望、嘆息、淚濕滿襟。
祝福我寫下的文字遠揚,
歌頌她的芳名,萬古長新。
我心永屬於她,無人能闖。
〈第104〉
我找不到和平,也無意打仗,
我恐懼、我期望,燃燒又冰透。
我向天飛升,卻躺在地上,
我一無所有,卻又擁抱整個宇宙。
我身陷囹圄,監牢又開敞;
我不受囚禁,卻銬著鎖頭。
愛情不讓我死,也不讓我飛翔;
不要我活,也不准我逃離悲愁。
欲看卻無眼,啞口還在發言,
我甘心殞滅,卻仍高聲呼救,
我痛恨自己,但仍愛著他人。
憂傷滋潤我,淚水伴隨笑臉,
生命不足惜,死亡也不煩憂;
我淪落至此,都是妳啊,我的愛人!
〈第123〉
我在塵世見到仙子的美,
她天堂般優雅無與倫比。
想起她讓我悲傷又歡喜,
所見如幻夢迷霧與幽黑。
妳的可愛眼睛使我落淚,
多少次讓太陽也要妒忌。
我還聽到四周發出嘆息,
移動了山嶽停止了河水。
愛情智慧憐憫憂傷財富,
在淚水中形成甜美聲響,
奇妙和諧世上未曾目睹。
天堂追隨著音樂的流淌,
雖然枝上樹葉並未飛舞,
空氣與風息卻充滿芬芳。
