巨星的殞落

上星期六傳美國女歌星惠特‧休斯頓猝死好萊隖的消息(芳齡48)，隔兩天又傳台灣的歌后鳳飛飛年初病逝香江的消息(享年60)，雖說人生無常，凡人都有死，但是超級巨星總是比較吸睛，引人注目。不管是什麼天王巨星，生前多麼榮耀風光，總要面對無常。
我常想天王巨星們，前生應該修了很多善業，累積了不少的福報，今生才能有這樣的尊榮和風光。不過不知道他們今生，如何使用這些福報，又修了多少善業，可以帶到下一輩使用。
如果沒有的話，他們的來生生活困頓，對照今生的風光和順利就太可憐了。
這就是為什麼我們應該在無常到來之前，就要好好多修善業的原故。
像這樣的話題，應該是生命教育的課題，值得我們一輩子探討和深思的。
以下是惠特妮‧休斯頓的"One Moment In Time"。

"One Moment In Time"

Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown

I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free
