I always believe that taking breaks is an expression of our attitudes towards our life and the photos taken are evidences of our life experience. Images I took are always random ones. However, it is these random images that truly reflect my feelings, emotions, and mind. Of course, we are human beings that rely so much on words, which I consider a good means for us to preserve our fragile memory. Words are used to describe these image. They help me remember what I thought and felt at that special moment. Moreover, due to our good habit to think, I can always develop more for these random images, which means that my mind start to link what I thought to what I see and what I have experienced that finally constructs a little plot for these random images. I love images with plots. It makes these images interesting. I guess this is why I do not appreciate post-modern arts, which is always about what you see is what you get! I always think, "What you see isn't always what you get!"
懸吊空中的炙熱太陽終於在晚間 8:45 沒入地平線之下。希臘的夕陽真的很美，它的美讓人忘了呼吸，讓人忘了時間的存在。呆坐在沙灘上，眼睛直直地望著沈入海中的橘色光輪，剎那間意識到海風早已轉涼，肚子也開始咕咕叫了。此時好友正從海中走向我，遠遠的就大叫「吃飯時間到了」。就是喜歡希臘人隨性、大剌剌的個性。不管有多煩惱、多苦悶，下午悠閒的游泳、晒太陽是一定要的，而晚上的娛樂活動更是不能少。清涼的夜晚才是一天的開始，是一天的精華；一路吃吃喝喝到凌晨，誰管明天還要上班、開會。「活在當下」真是讓希臘人發揮的淋漓盡致，而這種生活態度還真不錯。不就是過日子嗎，一定會遇見煩惱痛苦。好過是過，歹過也是過，何不放鬆自己好好享受生命的美麗！
好友驕傲地告訴我「它沒有名字，只有當地人才知道，完全沒有干擾的寧靜海灘」。真的，往前望去是永無止盡的藍，少了觀光客的喧雜吵鬧，這般寧靜的海天交映著實令人心曠神怡。沒人知道那兩根平行豎立的柱子有何作用，但不見蹤影的船伕早將固定船隻的欖繩套上柱子。對不會預設立場、也不會多擔心的希臘人來說，該做的就要做，就算有問題，反正總會找到解決方法。挺欣賞他們這種事事「處之泰然」的做事方式，然而欣賞歸欣賞，仍是難以拋棄早跟隨我數十載的個性。這樣一個悠閒寂靜的海灣中，游泳、看魚、晒太陽是僅有的活動。以慵懶的步調浸營於海水中、享受陽光的滋潤，這真是最完美的渡假方式。
大多數希臘人都擁有位於郊區或小島上的夏日小屋，到了週末假日他們便迫不及待地逃離髒亂吵雜、酷熱難耐的雅典。眼前這三種不同層次的藍，加上這寬廣的風景，搭配著夏日小屋特有的休閒氛圍，認誰都不願放棄欣賞這般美景的機會。好友說，「用心感受眼前風景，它的美使人快樂、給人力量」。當徐徐海風輕撫著我的臉頰，當舌尖充滿著香醇的希臘咖啡，當無限開闊的美景填滿我那有限的視野，原本依賴在肩頭上的壓力與重擔在那轉念間消逝，放鬆的愉悅讓我莫名的嘴角上揚，心中是滿滿的自信光明。雖說希臘式的生活態度是慵懶，這慵懶並非懶散，而是對現實生活的調劑與平衡。少了游泳、看海、聊天、晒太陽，生活將變得無趣，人也喪失對生命的期待。李涉說「偷得浮生半日閒」，李白謂「人生得意須盡歡」。與其汲汲營營於俗世間，何不停下腳步好好享受與那風景的完美邂逅。
