Vincent 梵谷之歌
--- 歌曲簡介 ( Know More )
--- 歌曲簡介 ( Know More )
梵谷之歌 Vincent
(1971) 是美國知名創作歌手唐·麥克林Don McLean (1945-)於1971年所發表、並主唱的歌曲,用以紀念荷蘭畫家文生.梵谷Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890)。
以下是唐•麥克林Don McLean自述此曲創作的緣由:” 1970年秋天,我在學校體系中服務,我的工作是在各班級間彈吉他演唱。有天早晨,我坐在走廊間閱讀著文生.梵谷的傳記,霎那間,有個感動---我知道自己得寫一首歌來表明梵谷Vincent van Gogh 不是瘋子,他是生病了,正如他的弟弟西奧Theo一樣。我認為他之所以會落入這般「瘋狂」的田地,是因為被一個女人拒絕(普遍認知)。我拿著印有梵谷的星空畫作的紙張,於紙袋上寫下了歌詞。”(In the autumn of 1970 I had a job singing in the school system,
playing my guitar in classrooms. I was sitting on the veranda one morning,
reading a biography of Van Gogh, and suddenly I knew I had to write a song
arguing that he wasn't crazy. He had an illness and so did his brother Theo.
This makes it different, in my mind, to the garden variety of 'crazy' – because
he was rejected by a woman [as was commonly thought]. So I sat down with a
print of Starry Night and wrote the lyrics out on a paper bag.) (以上英文資料來自Wikipedia)
這首歌以 唐•麥克林Don McLean 清唱開場詞Starry
starry night,吉他伴奏為主軸,加入簡單的手風琴、顫音琴、弦樂器,如詩般的歌詞有如一幅幅梵谷畫作的呈現,領人跨越時空同理梵谷的心靈世界,除了感動了無數聽眾外,還被選在梵谷博物館中,伴隨梵谷名畫天天被播放著。

night

九型性格學 The Enneagram
(The Nine Personality
Types)
本單元歌曲 梵谷之歌 Vincent 裡的主人翁文生.梵谷Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890)他的畫充滿悲天憫人的胸懷,卻因個性帶有極端的愛與瘋狂,導致一生鬱鬱不得志,直到37歲舉槍自盡後,才逐漸成為舉世聞名的畫家。 作者唐•麥克林Don McLean
(1945-)在歌詞說:”But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was never
meant for one as beautiful as you 但願我能告訴你,文生,這個世界從來不是為美麗的你而存在 ”,字裡行間流露出對梵谷的致敬與不捨。 若是當時的人們與梵谷之間能夠有更好的互動,憾事或許不會發生。
剖析九型人格論述的圖是由圓形、六角形、三角形組合的複合式圖案,在圓形上的九個點就代表了九種人格屬性,六角形及三角形則是人格整合路徑和崩解路徑,人們在以此概括模式的基礎上,發展出各式各樣的性格。這套學說已被廣泛用於商業及教育培訓、心理輔導、改善家庭及人際關係的課程中。
本文只是九型人格學的概論,坊間及網路上有許多關於此學說深入的研究探討,並提供測驗題目,若是讀者想知道自己是屬於哪一型人格特質,可上網參考相關書籍和網站。

The
thief comes only to steal
and kill and destroy;
I have come that they may have life,
and have it to the full. (John 10:10)
盜賊來,無非要偷竊,殺害,毀壞;
我來了,是要叫羊(人)得生命,
並且得的更豐盛。(約翰福音10:10) |
俗語說: ”一樣米養百樣人”
(It takes all kinds to make a world.) ,意思是說每個人都有著不同的個性、想法和喜好,即使成長於在同一環境,也會因為不同的性情,而對事情有不同的看法。各有天性的人們,沒有人是完美的,任何人都需要透過人際相處的過程來成長。若我們不會願意與人共處,生命容易產生扭曲,當中最大的受害者卻是我們自己。反之,若在與人的磨合中,發現自己的不足,學習欣賞別人的優點,發展原諒人的心胸,就能趨向成熟,享受生命之樂,如聖經箴言27章17節所言: ” 鐵磨鐵,磨出刃來,朋友相感,也是如此。” (As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.)。
Vincent van Gogh |
健康的人際互動是可以學習的,九型人格學(Enneagram)就是很實用的學習工具,它是一套把人類性格劃分為九種相互關聯的屬性模型的學說,其基本論述是每個人受造都有一個主型性格(及兩個測翼性格),這九種主型性格屬性並無好壞之分,為要讓我們認識自己和別人、尋求天賦命定,得著更豐盛的生命。
不同類型的人對現實世界反應的方式如基本的恐懼 (Basic Fear)、基本的慾望 (Basic Desire)其行為背後動機 (Intention)有可被辨別的差異,每一型人格特質都有向另一型人格整合(integration) 或 崩解 (disintegration)的路徑。
不同類型的人對現實世界反應的方式如基本的恐懼 (Basic Fear)、基本的慾望 (Basic Desire)其行為背後動機 (Intention)有可被辨別的差異,每一型人格特質都有向另一型人格整合(integration) 或 崩解 (disintegration)的路徑。
當基本慾望得不到滿足時,基本恐懼就會浮現,負面性情因而彰顯,人格往崩解路徑行,導致性格扭曲;當人格處於極健康和極不健康的時候,是經過整合和崩解路徑的現象,從外在的行為較難判別其人格型號,尤其是處於極健康的時候。(因人格處於極健康時,同時會顯現其他人格型號的優點;相對的,當人格處於極不健康時,同時也會顯現其他人格型號的缺點,所以較難判別其人格型號)。
