凌晨四點
湖面日出,攝於芬蘭, 2002夏
我難得早起,但是幾次為了看日出而早起的經驗都很難忘.2002年夏到芬蘭畫家朋友Elena的湖畔渡假小屋去小住,特別在凌晨四點起床,到湖邊看日出--湖面有霧,天地間一片寧靜祥和,偶而有鳥飛過,都可以聽到振翅的聲音...
整個過程像電影一樣,被我存在腦海中,時時會重播,回味無窮.
每一個人都應該找機會到美麗的自然環境裡看日出;這種特別的經驗是一輩子的無形資產,終身享用不盡的.
以下這首辛波斯卡的詩:凌晨四點 Four A. M. 獻給常失眠的朋友們
FOUR A.M.
The hour between night and day.
The hour between toss and turn.
The hour of thirty-year-olds.
The hour swept clean for roosters' crowing.
The hour when the earth takes back its warm embrace.
The hour of cool drafts from extinguished stars.
The hour of do-we-vanish-too-without-a-trace.
Empty hour.
Hollow. Vain.
Rock bottom of all the other hours.
No one feels fine at four a. m.
If ants feel fine at four a. m.,
We're happy for ants. And let five a. m. come
if we've got to go on living.
凌晨四點醒了,乾脆起來看日出吧!
