狂想曲

上kd最后一堂创作课时,与hb玩的文字游戏——用同窗们最后一篇创作的题目出现的字眼,拼凑成三行仿诗的句子,并拟题。游戏的乐趣在于志同道合的玩伴与字里行间的写意:

《狂想曲》

长白山伫候的时间
青蛙与黎明一起睡觉
海马虾开始七星步奔月

少数宣言

复习柯思仁师的“新加坡社会与文化研究”课程时,重读到庆亮在2001年“圆切线”(Tangent)论坛中,引述自爱尔兰作家James Joyce小说A Portrait Of The Artists As A Young Man里面人物Stephen Dedalus的一段话:

"You have asked me what I would do and what I would not do. I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church; and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile and cunning."

"I will also tell you what I do not fear. I do not fear to be alone or to be spurned for another or to leave whatever I have to leave. And I am not afraid to make a mistake, even a great mistake, a lifelong mistake, and perphaps as long as eternity too."

不禁联想到台湾诗人罗志成的《少数宣言》:

“在创作或生活中追求理想,我们不甘但也不必畏惧沦为少数。作为一个热情奋进、满怀奇想而又意识清明的人,我们无法不对自己做更高的期待与要求,也无法抑止原创的灵魂对种种更好的可能充满探索与规划的热忱。是的,作为一个新知识与新经验的冒险者,我们不甘但也不必畏惧沦为少数。只要真诚地面对自己,我们必能更加接近世界的真相与生存的意义。”

我想那是我向往、追求的精神境界=)
