觀獵戶座流星

(一)

橫臥半天涯 語襯海潮聲

繁星掩新月 謐夜誘遠燈

獵戶徜西暮 昴宿掌三更

燃塵轉瞬逝 整暇笑浮生

(二)

竟夜避華燈 斂襟守寒星

塵囂或明滅 應嘆兩樣情

笑談浮雲事 蠍勾似蹙顰

流光若有願 相囑各飄零

小註:

很久寫不出這種東西了，現在的文筆也許早已生疏，但總又是個開始，果然有些風景真的是要親自去看一看。

Orionid (獵戶座) meteor shower

It is ironic that someone romantic (well, at least I want to be) like me never goes to any meteor shower watching before. And as a confession, I never had a chance to be dazzled by the stars before the trip to Grand Canyon in the summer of 2003.

Why? Cause I used to feel that even though I knew I would love it, I wouldn't be sorry if I missed it. There are too many adventures, but too little time.

Then why this one? I don't have an answer yet. But definitely I wasn't expecting to go with 3 cars of people, and probably missed half of the meteors for we were so focused on laughing out of the conversations. It was though just not as poetic and sentimental as imagined, it was fun.

And I wasn't expecting that the meteors fly too fast for us to make wishes. 12 meteor, 1 wish. For the rest, what came out of my mouth is "there", "wow", "another one", "eh", "ah", "big one"... Mostly "another one", and they all came true.

After we came home, I look out my window during 2-3 am, which supposed to be the peak of shower. There went 6 meteors in my very limited window view. I wasn't able to make any wish in time for I was astonished by the fact that I was actually seeing it with all the severe light pollution. I thought through many things, many places, and many people. I enjoyed the quiet moment with the flashing dust out in the space.

[轉錄]愛，未到訪

愛，未到訪

【聯合報╱◎郭玉文】 2009.10.12 03:42 am

在愛情的領域裡，我早已失能。 失能的我，很容易便在一種濃烈且狂熱的語言中失速墜落了，我墜入了狂風的漩渦裡，在暈眩之餘，竟然忘記掙扎，甚至妄想在某種對話的魔力中尋求溫暖。是的，僅止於對話，無須相濡以沫，我便如此眩暈了…… 因何眩暈？我想，是陪伴吧？感覺到一個人，一顆心，在深夜裡與我的心一起鼓動，讓我找到了某種歸屬，如原子之於宇宙，細胞之於肉體，皆各自獨立卻又各自相屬，維持著完美的平衡，供生命不斷運作下去。 我曾經想念，卻自問著：我想念的是誰？一種建立在空中樓閣、夢幻泡影中的想念如何竟能如此真實？我曾強烈懷疑，我所想念的，從來都不是一個人，而是一種感覺，就是那種感覺使我不自覺耽溺了吧？ 最後，我必須從夢幻泡影中醒來，殘酷的醒來。被餵養得過度虛胖的夢幻終於煙消雲散；被鼓吹得過度膨脹的泡影終於氣消影失，那些始於虛幻的夢境，必須在實境中終結。從虛幻中生起的莫名想念，必須以文殊之劍加以斬除──想念是虛，文殊之劍是實，虛虛實實之間，夢早已逸散。 在醒來的瞬間，我發現了唯一的真相：這一切從來都不存在，愛情並未從我面前走過，先前到訪的，只是一陣隨機而來的狂風，而這陣狂風，或許是因我內在某種深切的想望招引而來。 一切從心，心若止了，風還會起嗎？終於，我決定凝神靜氣，將所有的錯覺從心上剜除，回歸清風明月，回到真實的人生中來，讓眩暈自動止息……
