快到萬聖節,咖啡店在臨窗的高桌放了不同顏色的南瓜做裝飾。踏進星期天的咖啡店,原來望着遠處目光呆呆的老闆立即換上親切笑臉。找到較寧靜的角落坐下,我總是避開愛聊天的食客。

坐下看了一些報章,偶爾想起數星期前寫下的歌詞。那是彌撒最後唱的禮成詠。那也是一個星期天,我上了教堂,彌撒沒有什麼特別,卻在聽到這首禮成詠時哭成淚人,良久才平伏。我想起,我還未消化那個經歷。

Follow me follow me
Leave your home and family
Leave your fishing nets and boats upon the shore
Leave the seeds that you have sown…
If you would follow me
You must leave your old ways behind
You must take my cross and follow on my path
You may be far from loved ones
You may be far from home
But my Father will welcome you at last…

離開時沒覺得有不捨和掙扎,聽到leave your home and family,卻有連根拔起的感覺,身體有一個部分變得空虛和孤寂。曾經珍視的東西和播下的種子都撇下了,但這個空洞沒有新的東西可以替代到。它只能在心中成了一個洞,一個回憶的洞。

我不時會夢到舊朋友。以前相處不怎麼樣,但在夢中的場景都是久別重逢,珍惜珍重。什麼缺點、以前不喜歡對方的東西也不重要了,平安就好了。一覺醒來,夢境仍然十分清晰。我擁抱我的朋友,就像天荒地老的愛情片,不理旁人,緊緊抱住。

夢境很簡單,感受卻難以言喻。重新進入夢中的感覺,我感覺到真切的感情。當年可能為了對方一個行為心存芥蒂。如果再見,我一點都不介意了。有什麼不開心我都希望能溝通、諒解。這些夢好像時刻在提醒我什麼是最重要,什麼是最珍貴。朋友平安便好了。如果能夠相見,我一定把你緊緊抱住。

Leave your old ways behind。每一個選擇或沒有選擇的命運安排,或當前的困難、如意或不如意,若有力氣不逃避,都讓我發現自己的習性和偏見,活得更深、更真實。

It is touching to see all friends have a handful of ashes to contemplate and feel. It’s like everyone has a part of Thay and they will carry on in their lives. ❤️

讀研究生壓力大走了去禪修。畢業後去法國及德國禪修一年,在寺院接觸了非暴力溝通(Non-violent communication)和生命自覺(Focusing),廣濶了心靈修習。回來後繼續禪修和心靈修習滋養身心,偶爾在社福機構帶正念課。The International Focusing Institute 生命自覺認証導師,並在大學兼職教書。

*生命自覺Focusing,由尤金・簡德林博士(Eugene T. Gendlin)於1960年代創立。簡德林是猶太人,在奧地利維也納出生。因納粹主義的興起舉家逃到美國。 逃難過程中,尤金・簡德林的父親遇到不同人說可以帶他們離開,其中一些是騙子,但他憑感覺選擇了對的人,最後成功到達美國。當簡德林向人解釋什麼是生命自覺,都會想起這個經歷—父親憑感覺帶他們逃出生天。及後他在芝加哥大學跟隨卡爾・羅哲斯(Carl Rogers)研究心理治療方法,並發展出生命自覺這套發現和追隨自己內心的感受的過程。

Louise Hay’s Morning Meditation 07/01/2022

最近在看Louise Hay, 也跟着做練習。我早上很難起床,尤其在冬天,可以賴在床上兩三小時也不起床,但之後又會怪責自己懶、浪費時間。

今早在床上醒來,問下身體想點,掙扎起床?不想。打坐?好似是為了責任為了做好才去打坐,無動力。想起Louise Hay在YouTube 的錄音,開了塞着耳朵,躺着聽。感覺好好,心情靚靚去迎接新一天。美好正在等着我,我懷着感恩起床,食早餐。和大家分享:

今天讀到一首詩,想到痛苦的突然來臨🙏

“I built my house by the sea.
Not on the sands, mind you;
not on the shifting sand.
And I built it of rock.
A strong house
by a strong sea.
And we got well acquainted, the sea and I.
Good neighbors.
Not that we spoke much.
We met in silences.
Respectful, keeping our distance,
but looking our thoughts across the fence of sand.
Always, the fence of sand our barrier,
always, the sand between.
And then one day,
-and I still don’t know how it happened -
the sea came.
Without warning.
Without welcome, even
Not sudden and swift,
but a shifting across the sand like wine,
less like the flow of water than the flow of blood.
Slow, but coming.
Slow, but flowing like an open wound.
And I thought of flight and I thought of drowning and I thought of death.
And while I thought the sea crept higher,
till it reached my door.
And I knew, then,
there was neither flight,
nor death, nor drowning.
That when the sea comes calling,
you stop being neighbors,
Well acquainted,
friendly-at-a-distance neighbors,
And you give your house for a coral castle,
And you learn to breathe underwater.”

— Breathing Under Water

活出意義來

知道這本書好耐,一直沒有看。看完後跟朋友分享,他們問我,這本書很heavy嗎?其實我一直不看,就是怕它heavy。看畢,初頭是有一點,更貼切是感覺匪夷所思,是有點驚嚇的。但看下去,反而是很正面。原來在那個處境,人還是可以生存,更比平常體驗到愛,還有那難以言喻、超越眼前境況的靈性感悟。

最近和朋友在討論,當我們活在困境,困苦難當,我們還是在合上雙眼、感受內在嗎?生命自覺,真的可以幫我們走出困境?

然後,在尋找的過程,我慢慢走到靈性中找答案。

如果只為了在困境中過得舒服一點,生命自覺,我想也未必能夠做到真的令人舒服一點。看到那超越眼前境況的、生命對我們的越問,痛苦,變成了一道門。當我不推開痛苦,再探頭張望,上天/神,要我在這裡此刻,怎回應、做什麼?

以下節錄,我看了又看:

「把目前的『暫時存在』(provisional existence)當成虛幻不實的存在—這種態度本身,正是使俘虜喪失其生命力的一大要因。人一旦有了這種態度,任何事物看在他眼裡,都顯得毫無意義。他忘了艱困的外在環境,通常能給人一個機會,讓人超越自己,從而得到精神上的成長。」(p. 94)

「我把所有的痛苦與煎熬當成前塵往事,並加以觀察。這樣一來,我自己,以及我所受的苦難,全都變成我手上一項有趣的心理學研究題目了。史賓諾沙在他的名著《偷理學》上就曾說過:『我們只要把痛苦的情緒,塑成一幅明確清晰的圖像,就不會再痛苦了。』」(p. 96)

「我們真正需要的,便是從根本上改革我們對人生的態度。我們應自行學習—並且要教導瀕於絕望的人—認清一個事實:真正重要的,不是我們對人生有何指望,而是人生對我們有何指望。我們不該繼續追問生命有何意義,而該認清自己無時無刻不在接受生命的追問。面對這個追問,我們不能以說話和沉思來答覆,而該以正確的行動和作為來答覆。」(p. 100)

「而重歸故里的人最重要的一個體驗,便是歷盡滄桑之後所享有的一個美妙感覺:從今以後,除了上蒼,什麼都用不著畏懼了。」(p.118) ——看到這裡,不禁感動得流淚。
