機票已經訂了,明天付款就可以。壞了的ipod和macbook似乎也能在出發前修好,維修的價錢也很合理。簽證下星期才有空辦了,另外皮箱、日常用品還沒買好。
這幾天都在想為什麼要參加這個計劃呢?是否潛意識中有什麼想要達到的事?要說當然能編些美輪美奐的藉口,儘管聽起來不切實際但充滿前瞻力量和理想的謊言,這樣已經足夠堵住除我以外所有人的嘴巴。說什麼入行體驗、見識、開闊眼界之類,頂多是附帶得益而不是重點。
前天借了Ryu很喜愛的《博士熱愛的算式》,其中一段有關博士的描述深入心坎,我終於明白此行的目的:
「博士隨時需要保持安靜,但這種安靜並不一定代表悄然無聲的意思。即使根號(管家的兒子)在走廊上跑來跑去,或是收音機開得很大聲時,都不會影響博士的安靜。博士所追求的安靜在他的內心裡,是外界的聲音無法到達的境地。」
我就是尋找這種安靜,內心的安穩,像海水沖打岸邊沙石時那種相較沉穩而有節奏的調子。要迫停腦內用指甲抓玻璃的刺耳聲音,就只能自行調適,用另一種強烈的聲音取代它。我需要內心的絕對安靜,讓我好好跟自己說話,我仍很懷念三年前在美國能常常跟自己說話,那時我真正明白他在想什麼。
或許像Rob說的,我就該學懂如何安靜下來了:
Sagittarius (Nov.22 - Dec.21) by Rob Brezsny
In a couple of weeks it will make sense to aggressively insert your vivid presence into the thick of the action. There will be dizzying opportunities to chase down and intoxicating connections to forge. But it's premature to get riled up about all that yet. For the foreseeable future, Sagittarius, take your inspiration from Franz Kafka, who gave the following advice in his book The Great Wall of China: "You need not do anything. Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen, just wait. You need not even wait, just learn to be quiet, still, and solitary. And the world will freely offer itself to you unmasked. It has no choice; it will roll in ecstasy at your feet."
