Andrea Bocelli's Canto della Terra - Lyrics (Link: My post WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2011)

Canto della Terra - Lyrics Sì, lo so, amore che io e te Forse stiamo insieme Solo qualche istante Zitti, stiamo ad ascoltare Il cielo alla finestra Questo mondo che Si sveglia e la notte è Già così lontana Già lontana Guarda questa terra che Che gira insieme a noi Anche quando è buio Guarda questa terra che Che gira anche per noi A darci un po' di sole, sole, sole My love che sei l'amore mio Sento la tua voce e ascolto il mare Sembra davvero il tuo respiro L'amore che mi dai Questo amore che sta lì nascosto In mezzo alle sue onde A tutte le sue onde Come una barca che Guarda questa terra che Che gira inseme a noi Anche quando è buio Guarda questa terra che Che gira anche per noi A darci un po' di sole, sole Guarda questa terra che Che gira insieme a noi A darci un po' di sole Mighty sun Mighty sun Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Quarantotto Lucio / Sartori Francesco Link to my Blog: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2011 Andrea Bocelli's Canto della Terra

Whole Show Blow-by-Blow
The Current for November 06, 2009
It's Friday, November 6th.
A senior member of Alberta Health Services has been fired after Calgary Flames players jumped the queue at an H1N1 flu vaccine clinic.
Currently, goaltenders for the Toronto Maple Leafs turned down the vaccine because they've already faced so many shots this season.
This is The Current.
Fort Hood - Reporter
It was the deadliest act of violence committed on a US military base in American history. Yesterday a barrage of gunfire left 13 people dead and wounded 28 more at the U.S. Military Base in Fort Hood, Texas.
The alleged shooter is an Army psychiatrist, who is reported to have been distressed about his impending deployment to Iraq. Major Nidal Malik Hasan is in hospital this morning. Two other soldiers were detained and later released.
For the latest on the situation, we were joined by Jennifer Westaway. She is CBC News Correspondent and she was in Fort Hood, Texas this morning.
Fort Hood - FBI
There are reports that federal law enforcement officials were aware of Nidal Malik Hasan and that he had come to their attention at least six months ago, because of alleged internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other alleged threats.
Officials had not opened a formal investigation. That news is likely to provoke criticism - that law enforcement officials should have done more to stop the suspect. But according to Steven Pomerantz, it's not quite that simple. He is a former Assistant Director and Chief of Counter-Terrorism with the FBI. He was in Fairfax, Virginia.
Fort Hood - Citizen Soldier
Yesterday's shooting at Fort Hood was not the first incident of an American soldier opening fire on his or her comrades. Last May, Sergeant John Russell walked into a military clinic in Baghdad and began shooting. When he was done, five American servicemen were dead, including Navy Commander Charles Keith Springle.
Robert Goodale was a friend of Commander Springle. He is also a director of the Citizen Soldier Support Program at the University of North Carolina. Robert Goodale was in Washington DC.

IRA Bombing and Forgiveness


We started this segment with some tape of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher responding to the bombing 25 years ago at the Grand Hotel in Brighton, England. The man who planted that bomb was an IRA operative named Patrick Magee. His intent was to kill British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. She survived. But the bomb killed five people and injured many others. Patrick Magee received 8 life sentences for the bombing. But he was released 10 years ago, under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement.
One of the people killed in the blast was British MP Anthony Berry. His daughter Jo Berry is now a peace advocate who has founded a charity called Building Bridges for Peace. She has spent many years trying to come to terms with her father's death. And among other things, that has meant seeking out and sitting down with Patrick Magee.
We asked Jo Berry and Patrick Magee to share a microphone in a tiny, cramped studio in Stoke-on-Trent, England and to share their thoughts about the Brighton Bombing, 25 years later.

小小說: 道歉 / Short Short Story: Apology

話說一個成年的女人,想知道因殺她父親而被判入獄多年的兇犯究竟是一個怎麽樣的人,或許她是想知道在男人寂寞的暮年歲月中,他有沒有萌生道歉的意念。

她只記得在15歲時那一晚,母親悲哀地說:『妳父親死了!!』就是那麽簡單的一句,她就和生父陰陽相隔。在女孩子悠長的成長歲月,她不知道父親臨死前有沒有和劫匪摶鬥,或跪地向他求饒。她不知道在子彈鑽入他軀体內臓之前的一杀那,他又沒有想到他的妻子丶女兒和自己一生的前麈往事。她不知道在最後的數秒間,他瞳孔中有沒有看到人生最後一頁,那回顧是否充滿了所有喜樂的丶後悔的丶做了的丶未做的事情。

在她母親極力反对之下,她開始和殺父親的監犯通訊,什至在兇手出獄後约会和他会面。劫匪对受害者的女兒表示歉意,解釋当日她父親之死是大家的滯運氣 in the wrong place at the wrong time ,在混乱和惶恐中,他開鎗擊殺手無寸鐵的事主,奪去了一個十五歲女孩子的父親,对此事他多年來都是深感為憾,。

女人之後再沒有和那已上了年紀的男人通訊,她只想從生父最後見到的一個活人眼中,看到父親臨死前最後的一面。從兇手的解釋中,她找不到任何答案,她的生命仍是懸掛在空中,沒有一個完好的結局。或許拒絕和不接受他的道歉,是她為自己和父親報仇雪恨最後的一枝武器。

Revenge is best served cold.

公開道歉和私人道歉 / Public Apology and Private Apology

今天聽到加拿大國家廣播电臺一段叫【道歉】的小品文之後,不禁鈎起了我一絲一繞有關香港舊戀人的回憶。不過在未翻閱舖滿塵埃丶多年前往事一頁之前,請讓我轉述【道歉】其中的一個故事。

總是希望能

Apology


"Living Out Loud" CBC 2009-10-23 13h30 - 14h00 Robin Brown

Public and Personal Apology: How do you say "I am sorry!!"

Making amend making things right. Righting the wrong.


1998 Japanese internment camp
In May 1942 Japanese Canadians were given 48 hours to leave Cumberland (near Nanaimo) BC coast, surrender properties, sugar beet farm in Alberta. Now the community has re-built the graveyard to commemorate the once residents.

1914 Ukrainians were interned in camps and some were under house-internment.

Devils are in the details: Apolocy for Canada's Residential Schools, In 1998, Statement of Reconciliation was given by Jane Stewart (deeply sorry, profoundly regret)

Ontario Christian Brothers Schools: Sex abuse, raped, beatens, etc
Christian Brothers "apologized": ".... to anyone who may have been abused ...." victims were not even invited. In 1992, one brother was convicted. " ... extended our deepest regret ..." but victims were not invited. In June 1992, negotiations were held btwn the parties. Moral and principle more important than $

In 1996, Ontario govt and Catholic Churches (Ottawa Notre Dame) tried to apology ... "I don't want your apology, I want them from the two dogs (brothers) to apologize!!"

But in St Michael Church in Toronto, the Arch Bishop did not show up.

Ontario Attorney General, and not the Premier, apologized.

Some victims felt as if a weight had been lifted off. But abt 15 past Reformed School students had already committed suicide.
