"Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs on hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate—he has little success in this—but with the other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins, for he sees different (and more) things than do the others; after all, dead as he is in his own lifetime, he is the real survivor. This assumes that he does not need both hands, or more hands than he has, in his struggle against despair."--Kafka

sentimental kills, but what heals?

K:
冬日天氣很陰沉,每逢冬天我就極之需要陽光,夏天中午時份出生的我沒有陽光會斃命,但我竟卻很安靜。這兩晚都睡得安穩,K,你說是不是神蹟?P給我的花草茶能寧神定驚,喝了以後我就累得腦袋轉不過來,加上我禪修,竟睡得比平日還要好,或許身體不想跟心神對抗了,疲倦了,乖乖的睡去好了。

這個十二月是個教人討厭的月份,周遭的人各走極端,一端是情緒化、感情用事、感情脆弱,另一端是歡愉、喜樂、放縱,而我呢,就被以為是走中庸之道,感情堅強,可以承載各式各類型的情感。我讀「學習年代」,讀到芝與阿志做愛了,阿志在社運中感到傷害,而阿芝呢,她感到自己的身體是一個容器,承載阿志的情感,所謂的「有容乃大」。讀到這我就不禁微笑,我的友人R 說跟我訴說就像是把自己的情感放入箱子內沉入海底。我在想,我有那份大愛,能兼容那麼多的情感嗎?我定了神,閉上眼,竟然看到自己是山脈那樣堅實,安然自在的讓他人在我身上躺著。

生活的痛楚少不免,怎樣將它轉化才是考功力,禪師給我改的法名是「心圓修」,修行是我每分每刻的功課。

最後我想說,我很快就會回家的了。失去了,我才懂得珍惜,我回到我的家,和心靈上的家園。
