The power of persistence. Harry Bernstein wrote 40 books but destroyed the manuscripts after they were all rejected by publishers. Bernstein was 93 when his wife of 67 years died and started writing to help deal with his grief. He spent 3 years writing his memoir "The Invisible Wall."


He sent the manuscript to many New York publishers, all of whom turned it down. Then he sent it to an editor at Random House in the UK, where it sat in a pile of unsolicited manuscripts for a year before it was read by a stunned publishing director who immediately recognized it as inspired writing. It was published in 2007 when Mr. Bernstein was 98. He would write three more acclaimed books, all of which were published, up until his death at 101. Bernstein called his 90s, "the most productive years of my life."








我不認為他們。收到朋友的信息，找些資料。敬禮。

今(10月9日)天.參加林文德大哥的告別禮拜.整廳全滿的親友.肅穆的禮拜裡.在李勝雄長老的感性司禮下.開始有些低泣的聲音.
等到林宗正牧師的感性禱告時.已經聽到忍不住的哭聲傳出.
幫林文德洗禮和禮拜的三芝教會聯合詩班.唱出文德兄受洗當天家庭禮拜的詩歌

--"永遠唱的歌就是疼" .讓我感動萬分.
歌詞:"親像早起濛濛的霧.親像雲在空中飛.親像寒天綿綿的雪
親像深夜的天星.親像四季照時輪轉.親像草面的露水.親像燭火慢慢欲熄.生命快快就過去.親像燭火熄去生命就過去.咱生命親像濛霧.亦親像一場夢....咱的一生真快就欲若雲煙消失.總是咱生命通分享平安.相結連水無相離.此首永遠唱的歌就是疼."

這首故人愛的詩歌.聽得我肌皮疙瘩和紅了眼眶.
蔡三雄牧師證道時.說他在去年2月幫文德兄洗禮.當晚就在他家做家庭禮拜..也和他喝紅酒.談對台灣的理想與未來...

在家屬致哀謝時.先聽到文德兄次女以英文致謝.
長女以海口腔的台語致謝詞.更讓人感動.
她說:

小時候都是爸爸林文德帶他四處走.但是她最怕爸爸永遠愛唱又很大聲唱的歌:"杯底勿通飼金魚".因為爸爸總是唱得很投入又盡性.害得她總是逃得遠遠的.但是.現在她們姐弟卻想和大家.一起大聲地唱這首"杯底勿通飼金魚"給天上的爸爸---林文德.

話沒說完.她已經聲淚不止...
當全體參與者起立唱歌時.輕鬆又有氣魄的"杯底勿通飼金魚"的歌詞唱到:"哈.哈.哈..."時..怎麼知道.眼淚卻不爭氣地掉下來.而且不是只有我偷擦淚
我看到不少人也一樣

愛台灣國的朋友.弟兄的林文德兄.他是性情中人.常以"杯底勿通飼金魚"來和同國的弟兄連絡感情.進而談對台灣的未來的理想...

傍晚到白沙灣林家別墅吃文德兄交帶的家庭辦桌.
一次又一次舉杯敬在天上的文德.他應該也正和黃昭堂主席喝威士忌吧..說著.說著.竟是"悲從中來"...

最難得的是.文德嫂和他在歐洲的兒女和愛華姐.竟然以7-8天編出7-80頁的紀念林文德的專刊.有他的素描.雕塑作品.也有追思文章.每個人都是邊看邊紅著眼.........
