你有没有和我一样,有过这样一个体验,偶尔听到一首陌生的歌,却倍感亲切,完全不知道它的创作背景,却在聆听之时已不知不觉为它赋予了属于你的解读和记忆。
偶尔看到一篇文章,感觉字里行间跟自己的经历和那一阶段的内心独白如此之像,你好奇地查阅起作者的写作背景,发现虽然它跟你在阅读文章时所期待的不太吻合,但此时你的内心却已给了它一个全新的生命,那部分有你的存在。
如果你也有过同样的经历,亦或是还没体验到这样的触碰感,请接受我的邀请一起来读读下面这首小诗.......
HOKUSAI SAYS
written by Roger Keyes
Hokusai says look carefully.
He says pay attention, notice.
He says keep looking, stay curious.
He says there is no end to seeing.
He says look forward to getting old.
He says keep changing,
you just get more who you really are.
He says get stuck, accept it, repeat yourself as long as it is interesting.
He says keep doing what you love.
He says keep praying.
He says every one of us is a child,
every one of us is ancient,
every one of us has a body.
He says every one of us is frightened.
He says every one of us has to find a way to live with fear.
He says everything is alive---- shells, buildings, people, fish, mountains, trees, wood is alive.
Water is alive.
Everything has its own life.
Everything lives inside us.
He says live with the world inside you.
He says it doesn't matter if you draw or write books.
It doesn't matter if you saw wood, or catch fish.
It doesn't matter if you sit at home and stare at the ants on you veranda
or the shadows of the trees and grasses in your garden.
It matters that you care.
It matters that you feel.
It matters that you notice.
It matters that life lives through you.
Contentment is life living through you.
Joy is life living through you.
Satisfaction and strength is life living through you.
He says don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid.
Love, feel, let life take you by the hand.
Let life live through you.
Contentment is life living through you.
Joy is life living through you.
Satisfaction and strength is life living through you.
生命的过程如此简单,然而又看似如此痛苦。每一份快乐与悲伤都必须和我的血液一起流动,经由全身,真切地被感受。
在第一次看到he says look forward to getting old时,我有些不解,难道有谁愿意变老吗?闻所未闻。就更别提去期待它的到来了。
但后来我明白了。世界上最无形却又最可怕的便是时光,不管想与不想,我都必须勇敢去接受它。其实,变老真的没有那么可怕,在变老的过程中没有任何积累与沉淀才是最让人背脊发凉的。
岁月给我们的提示是,在我们生命之中很多个七年的时光,不停歇地去追逐心中所爱,始终保持着那颗童心,那个过程足以使我们感受到万般快乐满足。
我们都经历过的,最大的满足其实是风雨过后的彩虹。那些让你流血受伤的地方,却会使我们变得更加坚强,不再害怕。
人的生命必须是流动的,我们和世间的一切生灵一样,只有动起来才能发出活力的光芒。就如久睡会头痛,久坐会脖子痛一般,身体有时候就需要一点自虐的时光。不豁出去跑个五公里它就是浑身不痛快,不流汗它就是不通不畅。
有一句话叫做“狗似主人形”,人类发明的汽车也与我们的身体系统惊人地相似。没有一辆汽车是在正常使用时给开坏的,那些国外经历了几十年风霜雨露依然奔驰在高速公路上的老爷车们便是一个很好的解释。而往往最容易坏的往往是那些停放许久满布灰尘的车子们。
运动,从来都不是和身边的人比赛朋友圈的步数多少,而是来自生命原始的召唤。思维也是如此。从来没有一个人会因为思考过度而脑子停转的。而那些毫无变通可言,却整日与人争辩的脑袋们,才确实是时候好好引进知识的电流了。
关心,感觉,和观察,都与生命经由我密切相关。就好像我们在交友之时其实注重的并不是对方的职业背景或经历,而是当我们聊天时,对方带给我们的感觉。世界上的好人很多,却不是所有好人都能吸引我们与之成为好朋友。
在我暂时还没找到那些人之前,不要放弃寻找,因为,there is no end to seeing.
动,即是生命.
我需要做的不多,就是展开双臂欢迎与生命相关的一切,经由我。
朋友们,愿这首诗也能在你的生命中留下些什么。
