[abp:7020084354:c:alignright]作者:史铁生 Rating: [rating: 4/5] 打开《我与地坛》,看到的不只是史铁生的文笔和观察,而且是满溢的、迸发的生命力。这与作者的身体状况有关,也是那个时代的声音。 但是太阳,它每时每刻都是夕阳也都是旭日。当它熄灭着走下山去收尽苍凉残照之际,正是它在另一面燃烧着爬上山巅布散烈烈朝辉之时。那一天,我也将沉静着走下山去,扶着我的拐杖。有一天,在某一处山洼里,势必会跑上来一个欢蹦的孩子,抱着他的玩具。 当然,那不是我。 但是,那不是我吗? 那夜的箫声和老人,多年在我心上,但猜不透其引领指向何处。仅仅让我活下去似乎用不着这样神秘。直到有一天我又跟那墙说话,才听出那夜箫声是唱着“接受”,接受天命的限制。(达摩的面壁是不是这样呢?)接受残缺。接受苦难。接受墙的存在。哭和喊都是要逃离它,怒和骂都是要逃离它,恭维和跪拜还是想逃离它。我常常去跟那墙谈话,对,说出声,默想不能逃离它时就出声地责问,也出声地请求、商量,所谓软硬兼施。但毫无作用,谈判必至破裂,我的一切条件它都不答应。墙,要你接受它,就这么一个意思反复申明,不卑不亢,直到你听见。直到你不是更多地问它,而是听它更多地问你,那谈话才称得上谈话。 海棠树下,西番莲开得正旺,草茉莉和夜来香无奈地等候着傍晚。蝉声很远,近处是“嗡嗡”的蜂鸣,是盛夏的热浪,是珊珊的喘息。她一会儿跳进阳光,白色的衣裙灿烂耀眼,一会儿跳进树影,纷乱的图案在她身上漂移、游动;舞步轻盈,丝毫也不惊动海棠树上入睡的蜻蜓。我知道她高兴我看她跳,跳到满意时她瞥我一眼,说:“去—”既高兴我看她,又说“去”,女孩子真是搞不清楚。 有人跟我说,曾去地坛找我,或看了那一篇《我与地坛》去那儿寻找安静。可一来呢,我搬家搬得离地坛远了,不常去了。二来我偶尔请朋友开车送我去看它,发现它早已面目全非。我想,那就不必再去地坛寻找安静,莫如在安静中寻找地坛。恰如庄生梦蝶,当年我在地坛里挥霍光阴,曾屡屡地有过怀疑:我在地坛吗?还是地坛在我?现在我看虚空中也有一条界线,靠想念去迈过它,只要一迈过它便有清纯之气扑面而来。我已不在地坛,地坛在我。
