第236篇 突如其来的感动 An Unexpected Burst of Tears

I had an unexpected call of duty yesterday —— my daughter left her lunch at home and she refused to go to her school's cafeteria. Cafeteria food is infamous for its lack of flavor as well as nutritional value. But I thought it could still be an option under certain circumstances. My daughter didn't agree, though. "I would rather go hungry." Now that, to me, is not an option. She is a varsity runner and yesterday she had a race in a far away city in the afternoon. I had no choice but to answer my call dutifully.

After I dropped the lunch bag off, I was on my way to A-Lot to catch a bus that would take me back to my office. Just as I was pulling into the parking lot, an unexpected rain shower started falling down. And mind you, that was not an ordinary rain shower. It was huuuuuge! It literally felt like water pouring down from a bucket! I was stranded. In the car.

Luckily, my music was playing. It was the Butterfly Lovers (or Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, the Chinese version of Romeo and Juliet), a violin concerto which I listen to from time to time as I drive to places.

I cranked up the music to the highest volume as the rain was beating down hard on my car windows. The piece reached the section where the violin representing the female and the cello representing the male played a duet to demonstrate their deep love for one another the moment he found out to his surprise that his dearest friend was actually a woman in disguise. Then the melody intensified as the story developed to the part where they knew there was this insurmountable barrier between them ---- she had to obey her parents' wish by marrying someone else despite her fierce protest...

The rain kept beating down like crazy on all sides and my car was totally submerged in the most powerful music that I have heard so many times, but never like this: there was nothing out there in the whole universe except for the rain and the music and myself. It seemed that I was in a cathedral that is shaped like a fountain with music coming out from the flowing streams of water. Both my mind and heart began to wander far and wide to Wordsworth's"old, unhappy, far-off things and battles long ago". An incredible feeling! There were simply no words for it but an sudden burst of tears down my face.

I never knew that rain could be this beautiful, music could be this beautiful and, of course, love.

第235篇 一切都还顺利吗?

昨日,与一个去年教过的学生在走廊里擦肩而过,却听到了一句十分好听的问候语:

“老师,一切都还顺利吗?”

平常路遇的学生大致分四类:打招呼的,点头微笑的,佯装不认识的,还有低头绕行的。林子大了,啥样的鸟儿都有啊。那么,昨天的这位便属于第一类了。但有别于最通俗的“老师好!”,她的那句问候犹如磁铁,紧紧地吸引着我;也像冰酒,沁人心脾,令我回味无穷......我从中听到了真诚的关切和温暖人心的善意。

一切都还顺利吗?多好的问题啊!要是不急着去上课,我会跟她认真几句的。平常听到别人说“how are you?" 或者”你好吗?“时,我的答案是不过脑子的,“好啊!你呢?”那种轻飘飘的口吻,自己听着都觉得虚假空洞,还不如说句“吃饭了吗”呢。

第234篇 开学了

回到家倒了两三天时差便匆匆忙忙糊里糊涂地开学了。也许是上个月在国内日子过得太散漫之故,回来后很难进入状态,用心理学专业词汇来说,恐怕就是所谓的”定向障碍“吧,呵呵。

收心的最好办法应该就是看书,可是,这一招不灵啊。我今天就乖乖地捧起了一本心理学的书,走到阳台上......可是,没看几页,心又飘了。

君不见——金盏花凭栏怒放欲翩跹

君不见——紫菊探身为私语

君不见——老猫酣睡日中间

实话告诉你: 收心难啊!难于上青天!欧欧!开始说胡话了,心理学家说:定向障碍患者的特征之一是智力下降。

唉——

第232篇 六月的记忆

六月,在又晴又阴又雨的天空下来临了,我的思绪却回到了23年前的那个首都机场的售票窗口:

售票员: 怎么又是你?昨天不是跟你说过票早就卖完了吗?
: 我再等等看吧。说不定有人退票呢?
售票员: 退票?!这个时候谁退票?跑都来不及跑呢!这么多老外,哪儿轮得到你啊?
: 我知道,那我还是等等看吧。说不定有人退票呢?
售票员: 你去那边干嘛?
: 学术交流。
售票员: 你要等就去边上等吧,反正跟你说了,不可能的事儿.....
: 好,我去那儿等.....谢谢您.....不好意思啊。

(我顺着墙蹲了下来,开始默祷。几个小时以后......)
售货员快!票有了!真奇怪!你还不赶紧过来!

几天以后,我凭着那张票飞到了旧金山,日期是六月十七号,一个又喜又悲又充满期盼的日子,当时的心情非常复杂,一如这几天的天空——也晴、也阴、也雨。
