【精美文段】

她的心豁然开朗，上帝关上了所有的门，却留了一扇窗子，疼儿就是那扇开着的窗了，此刻，阳光和风是多么温暖，正透过窗柩慰藉着她疲惫的身心。那些苦痛的生活，就像那把无弦的小提琴，风平浪静、万籁俱寂，所有的音符都藏到海底，但这依然是上帝的礼物，疼儿让她懂得，哪怕命运赐给她的，是一把疼痛的喑哑的小提琴，也一样可以拉出优美的旋律，那些音符会蹦蹦跳跳地浮出海面，直蹿到她们的心坎上来。

    是的，没有弦的小提琴，喑哑的弦，一样可以拉出动人的音乐，一样可以引来柔和的音乐、奔腾的海水。这会儿，疼儿听到了，雅娴也听到了。

                                 ----------《疼痛的小提琴》

【精美诗歌】

少年不识愁滋味，爱上层楼。爱上层楼，为赋新词强说愁。
