From the moment I left my nest, I searched for a thorn tree.

秋日随想

 
秋,
是越来越长的黑夜,
是带着寒意的北风,
是飘落的黄叶,
是渐渐拉长的影子,
还有那来自心底的惆怅。

我静静的坐在同济大学城市规划与设计研究院的那栋精致的楼里,透过玻璃幕窗凝视窗外的晚霞。从底楼传来优美的琴声,有人在弹奏肖邦的《夜曲第九号之一》,曲子在一长串音阶处时断时续,给这近乎完美的曲调留下了残缺,却也显得更加真实。这降B小调的乐曲我曾听过无数次,却从没发现它和这秋天的夕照搭配得如此协调,让我分明感受到了秋天的风,秋天的阳光,还有秋的气味。

珊坐在我的对面,她清澈的大眼睛望着窗外,我知道她此时和我有同样的感受、同样的发现。跳动的音符给我们讲述这个季节的全部秘密;我们用心灵倾听,用微笑来交流彼此的心情。

秋天,是一位久违的老友。曾几何时,我喜欢站在秋风里看落叶,听萧瑟的风吹着枯黄的树枝沙沙作响,我在大自然的怀抱里,什么都不用去想,没有一点羁绊,渐渐的,让自己和这风、树一起,接受秋的洗礼,享受内心的自由和安宁。

我已记不起从何时起开始淡忘这位老友,只记得,自己的空间越来越小,小得让我喘不过气来,与秋风的对话早已成为一种奢侈。当肖邦的夜曲将我的心带到这秋的世界,我的心底竟产生一种莫名的悲哀,我想飞出窗去,想变成秋风横扫大地,将所有的落叶连同灰尘扫得一干二净。然而,我终究不能,因为我不是随心所欲的秋风,我还是我自己,我还有对面这个愿意与我相濡以沫的女孩。自由,我从不曾料到,会有某个时刻,自由竟会成为我最渴望的东西。我不是陶渊明,因为隐居绝非我的生活理想;我也不是裴多菲,因为在生命、爱情和自由三者面前,我会毫不犹豫的选择前两者。我只希望,在我需要自由的时候,能够感受到它的存在。

天色渐晚,晚霞似火,燃烧着我的心。乐曲已换成莫扎特的降B大调奏鸣曲,我牵着珊珊的手走出大楼,让涅槃的心在秋风中冷却。

二十月葬

 
曾想静静的离开这里,将记忆封存
 
甚至,连墓志铭都不留下
 
因为,那些逝去了的,我已不再留恋
 
因为,我已找到自己的幸福
 
 
已经很久很久没来看过自己的博客,偶尔想起时它,想象着它荒芜的样子,我只是淡淡一笑,却依然没有激情再写些什么。
我是一个用冰来写作的人。也许我早已被施了魔咒,只有当心情的温度降到了冰点,文字才能解冻。我的文章,仿佛只属于一个忧郁的世界。我的文字,在忧伤的回忆渐行渐远时,却分明被冻住了。
然而,我一直在等,在等待一个能给我解开魔咒的人。
我终于得到了命运之神的眷顾,让我遇到了她。之前,从没有人能将我的心洞悉得如此透彻,从没有人能和我这样的贴心,也从没有人,让我真正的相信,爱情的标签是幸福,而不是痛苦。
幸福,将我的文字渐渐融化,犹豫再三,我还是决定把曾经的回忆葬掉,让它们在这里安息,于是借用珊珊的笔法,给这二十个月的回忆一个终结。
忽然想起了我们俩最喜欢的一首诗——爱尔兰诗人克里夫特的《爱》:

我爱你,不光因为你的样子
还因为,和你在一起时,我的样子
我爱你,不光因为你为我而做的事
还因为,为了你,我能做成的事
我爱你,因为你能唤出,我最真的那部分
我爱你,因为你穿越我心灵的旷野,如同阳光穿越水晶般容易
我的傻气,我的弱点,在你的目光里几乎不存在
而在我心里最美丽的地方,却被你的光芒照的透亮
别人都不曾费心走那么远
别人都觉得寻找太麻烦
所以没人发现过我的美丽
所以没人到过这里
 
亲爱的,只有当我遇到了你,我才能真正读懂这首诗的含义。正如你曾经对我说的:你是我生命中的奇迹。

Dream

终于明白了梦的真谛,它可以让一个人看见自己的内心,看见那些不为人知,甚至不为自己所知的东西。
 
我终于发现,那个叫做爱情的东西并没有从我的心里消失,却在我的真实生活中越来越模糊。我仿佛回到了3年前那个现在看来很单纯的年代,因为我在梦中找到了那种特别的情感,那种自以为拥有却已渐渐消失,以为已丢失却还拥有的情感。曾几何时,有的人为了标榜自己的成熟而故意显示自己已经丢弃这种情感,而我现在觉得这是多么的愚蠢!
 
梦又何尝不是一种艺术,我们用生活的全部来创作,而它便是这一切创作的结晶。可惜它又并不是现实的生活本身,而只像一幅油画,尤其像莫奈的作品——现实中的光和影,都在梦中以最逼真却又虚幻的方式表现出来。
 
醒了,一切又是一场空。我不会对它耿耿于怀,因为它毕竟是梦。想想,如果现实如此,将会给我带来多大的悲伤;而如果现实的悲伤只是梦,那再多的痛苦又算什么呢。
 
梦离现实那么切近,却又如此遥远。

The Thorn Bird

Long Ago, there was a bird to sang just once in its life.
From the moment it left its nest, it searched for a thorn tree.
and it never rested until it found one.
Then it began to sing more sweetly
than any other creature on the face of the earth.
And singing, it impaled its breast on the longest, sharpest thorn.
But as it was dying, it rose above its own agony to out-sing the lark and the nightingale.
The thornbird pays its life for that one song
and the whole world stills to listen
and God, in His heaven~smiles.
As its best was bought only at the cost of great pain.
Driven to the thorn, with no knowledge of the dying to come.
But when we press the thorn to our breast,
We know........
We understand.....
And still......we do it.

That were the thorn birds, but suddenly I found myself a member of the flock who search for the thorn tree and then start singing. I have spent decades searching for a tree, and when I just began to sing, I perceived the pain on my chest. Well, few holidays, little spare time, and an overwhelming amount of work to do. This is just what I called a thorn. What made me upset might be the loss of something, something named freedom. More and more frequently do I dream of the 'good old days' when I could spend months of vacation with my family, when I might read whatever book I like at whatever time, and when I needed not concern about the piles of work to do.
 
I'm not regretful, though, since I'm doing what I was eager to do. At first sight, the thorn birds seem to be eccentrics because hardly any people would be willing to die from a thorn. However, it occurred to me that I wasn't alone, for I realized that the majority of us human-beings are thorn birds. Everyone searches anxiously for a thorn tree and then impales on the thorn without doubt. Those who are still searching for a thorn tree might be envious of those who are already singing.
 
What is a thorn tree? —A decent job or status you dream for.
What is the pain? —The exhausting life that you are doomed to lead for your ideal.
And who are you? —The thorn bird!
 
Well, I know..., I understand..., and still...I do it.
And I do have a requirement—please listen to me when I'm singing with a thorn.

夏天

考完了最后一门,却发现这样学习——复习——考试的日子已经一去不复返了。这样的日子我们度过了17年。17年,这是一段长得足以养成一种习惯的时间。我们的确已经习惯,以至于当这样的日子结束的时候,我们已经没有了任何感觉。几天前,我们最大的愿望曾是摆脱这样的日子。现在回想起来,是否觉得那些日子值得回味,甚至为此依依不舍呢?

我们即将开始另一种生活,一种更加忙碌却离成功更近的生活,一种少了几分幼稚和幻想却多了一点成熟和现实的生活。如果把人生的历程比作四季的更替,我们正是处在春夏之交。走在熟悉的小路上,我们会发现春天的树已经成为夏日的林荫;路边的草莓和野果已经成熟,不再像原先那样青涩。时机已经来临,一切都作好了准备,迎接火热的夏天。

伤春似乎是免不了的。谁不爱那柔美而含蓄的春色,谁不喜欢那温和而舒适的天气呢?我又何尝不想有长长的假期,让自己能有机会泡一杯香茗,细细品味李渔的《闲情偶寄》呢!可事实就是这样,从春到夏,由夏至秋……人生的四季如此流逝,与其伤春,不如好好珍惜即将到来的夏天,别让自己等到秋凉叶落时再悔恨。

祝大家都有一个充实而又快乐的夏天。
