MM, 5 North, Recreation room
偶爾，會害怕與他們四目交替。他們多數時間昏沉，睜眼看見你時，或有所求、或無聊，好像他們變成這個模樣已有好幾世紀。我希望自己可以多給些回應, more than smiles. 雖然我也清楚，或許 smiles 就是他們只能／唯一索求的了。
甚麼時候力氣不見了? 甚麼時候發現自己連動動手指都是困難? 甚麼時候，發現自己已無法控制自己的沉睡? 甚麼時候，頸椎開始受不起腦袋的重量、放棄與地心的拔河，往下墜，往下找尋世界的盡頭?

今天有霧，窗外，城市隱身一片灰白裡，
偶見一隻海鷗飛翔，在天空畫了一道白色優雅，和祥。

過去的無量生死及未來的無量生死…
現在的一生，不過是過去無量時間過程與未來無量時間過程中的一個連接點。通過了過去及未來的生和死的解釋，始能明白，我們現前一生的時間，實在太短促了。
煩惱的事，本身即是清淨的智
智慧顯現之後，智慧與煩惱的區別界限已不存在。
這也正是實相無相，緣生性空的境界了。
（聖嚴法師, 1978）

好老
有些你看見身體老了，心也老了
有些你看見身體老了
但動作時、微笑時、說話時
你看見年輕
身心分離了?
在患有 Dementia 或 Alzheimer's disease 的老人家身上，
看見歲月，看不見時間
原來，歲月不等於時間?
人，是怎麼變得這麼老的?
怎麼變壞、腐朽的?

Everyday I leave my apartment and walk on the bike path to the Davis Square T station for school or trivia. People are walking, walking with dogs, jogging, and biking along the path with an easy, relaxed mood. One nice sunny Wednesday morning, I was on my way to school. A couple in front of me responded to the wonderful weather. Their movements made the scene more beautiful.
The man kept the same marching-like andante rhythm while he was walking, always with light effort in his paces, lengthening quality on his upper body. His left hand was in his pocket all the time while he placed his right arm gently on the woman's shoulder. The lady rested her left arm on the man's waist and her right arm swung to and fro with slight free flow energy. Sometimes they walked to the same beat; sometimes she had her own pattern of strides. She changed the rhythm from andante to allegro with quick and sustained efforts. Several times she even jumped aside, left the man's arm, danced in a delighted way, suddenly made pirouettes with light effort and a screw shape. After a couple of turns, she went back to the man's arm, back to the concert.

This morning an old lady was sitting in her wheelchair and doing knitting. She was so familiar with the crocheting; she used needles crocheting as we used chopsticks eating. We chatted a little bit when her daughter was out of the craftroom for bringing her some tea.
The old lady said to me: You are thin/skinny. I denied it with a smile. How old are you? She asked. 30, I answered and added a three-zero gesture. I'm 104. You're young! She said with her eyes sparkled and her face smiled. Do you want to be a 104?
Because her speaking wasjust with a little difficulties, I thought she was only 80. Her smiles were great. That kept her young.
Actually, I did not want to be a 104.
But I could not tell her this, so I said yes and turned up my thumb for reassurance.
Do you want to be a 104?

Boston 今年第一場雪
我生平第一場雪
未至正午 雪偷偷地走了
晚上再路過同一條 bike path
只有空氣中 還留著雪的痕跡
冰
依依不捨
經驗冰↓
然後覺知身的溫度↑ 心的溫度↑↑
