A dream comes true

It has been 45 years since Martin Luther King delivered his speech 'I Have a Dream' at Lincoln Memorial, Washington; today, Obama is elected as the new US President.

Below is an excerpt from King's speech:

Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."

他和她的故事（終結）

今天的她兩年後又不自覺地想起一幕又一幕與他的畫面：

- 記得那一次她不舒服要到醫院看診，他緊張一已。不停的來電令她又感動又痛心；

- 記得那一次在卡拉ok，只有他和她兩人，他唱了「時光倒流二十年」；

- 記得他寫了一個故事送給她，她也寫了一個給他，內裏的意思，只有他和她知道；

- 記得那一個清早他要回去，掉了銀包，打了好幾次給她說著每一個細節，就是一句「再見」卻不會說；

- 記得，又不想記得，他回去後幾個月都沒有了消息。再聽到他來電，卻是他和另一個「她」的痛苦糾纏－她知道，也許他和她只是一場夢。


- 記得他回來過，帶她到他小時候上的幼稚園，也在附近的平台花園坐下來，他唱了「安靜」給她聽；

- 記得很久以後，當她差不多忘了他的時候，他又再次出現－那是多麼巧合－但她不想再與他有這麼多的「巧合」了，它們令她太深陷；

- 記得有一天，他說痛苦終於完了，他又跟她訴說了許多許多，就像往日；這次，她只是聽著，她不想跟他說起她和另一個「他」的故事；

- 他和「她」、「他」和她，究竟是怎樣的？互相的打探是怎麼了？他跟她說，他對「她」說，她是他的「紅顏知己」；

- 記得他在更忙碌的時候，總會有時間致電給她，就算是短短的一兩分鐘；

- 記得他還是會送她愛吃的朱古力；

- 記得她要找人傾訴時，他總是隨時陪伴左右；


- 記得，記得與他的真的太多，為什麼？


今天，他和「她」十年崎嶇的愛情路完了，不是終結，而是他們會一起走過平坦的路。

留下來的回憶，她會記得，永遠記得

這一刻，她也記得那年他給她的「煙花三月」－
她想：那條紅線還繫著他和她嗎？
