本想先找一幅天堂相關的抽象畫來貼一貼，找了良久才發現自己沒有天堂是怎樣的自我概念，所以打住了。

其實我打從出生就沒有相信過天堂天國之地，但有另一個詞 " Utopia " 烏托邦卻長存我心，縱使人們確認這不存在，但那是可追可夢的完美國度，首一條件是讓我們成為機器人，雜念原始人性讓我們醜陋無比，簡單來說我們是被驅逐出來的邪惡，直到最後，人格偏負所創倫理信條是連鎖，鎖著我們那感覺無限權利。

名為 Paradise 的這首歌原本並不深沈，由維吉尼亞州來的這隊獨立夢幻流行樂團所創，但是Music Video完勝地讓整首音樂提升到另一個層次，由導演Matt Amato和演員Michelle Williams來把大衆天堂藍變得更混濁更深更遠，還讓Michelle她朗讀了一段由愛爾蘭英藉女作家／哲學家所著 A Word Child 的一小段。

Everything was love.
Everything will be love.
Everything has been love.
Everything would be love.
Everything would have been love
Ahh...that was it. The truth at last.
Everything would have been love.
The huge eye which would have become an immense fear was gently breathing only without an eye, nor a sphere.
But our great wonderful animal, covered in little waving legs like hairs.
Waving, oh so gently as if they were underwater.
All should be went and all should be well said that ocean.
So the place of reconciliation existed after all.
Not like a little, not wholly uncovered, but flowing everywhere and being everything.
I had only to will it and I would be.
For spirit is omnipotent, only I never knew it.
And being able to walk on the Earth.
I could forgive. I could be forgiven.
I could forgive. Perhaps that was the whole of it after all.
Perhaps being forgiven is just forgiving and no one had ever told me.
There was nothing else needful.
Just to forgive.
Forgiving equals being forgiven.
The secret of the universe.
Do not whatever you do forget it.
The past was folded out and in the twinkle of an eye and everything had been changed.
And made beautiful and good.   "

烏托邦沒浮現，我們看到的寶紅太陽是一部分

我們異想天開，粉紅彩霞有時來湊湊熱鬧

人們魚貫走來，窮途末路、炯炯目光
