Subject: 丙戌年初三道風山退修行

丙戌年初三道風山退修行

初三的上午,早起得像一片夢
在家豪還賴床的時候
我們拾級而上,以仰視的姿態
體會陽光輕貼額角的微溫
修道的地方總在高處,我想
用跑的會不會比較快?
前面的Gillian已開步奔去
結果也沒有與我的球鞋合照

我們都經過窄門
在感恩的亭子裡抱怨天氣太熱
Chris選了兩首安靜的曲子,徐徐地
領著敬拜,沒有用上伴奏
(臨時帶來的口琴還太勉強)
相機架在對面的岩石上,Keith
趕及在閃燈前回到鏡頭內嗎?
另一塊石頭上寫著「活在主內」

獨處的時間陽光走得更慢更靜
我想像自己進到無人的房間
往裡面墜入去墜入去與神相遇
路過的Sarah卻笑我竟然睡著
指著中國式建築物,對婷婷說
這從前是佛教的寺院*1
八角形的聖殿前
赤腳的清清在盤膝而坐

雖說人活著不是單靠食物,細心的
愛美麗還是為我們預備了雞脾
午後的小貓成為可愛的騷擾
連Kitty都沒法抵抗
從Rainbow手中取過奶油麵包
關懷動物也是
操練的一種吧?小貓吃飽
順勢在我的手上抓了一下

從霍元甲的電影聯想到
基督徒的退修,躊躇滿志的Brian
是否想在下山後大展拳腳?
影子變長,氣溫沒有因此變冷
二千年前的陽光
也是一樣猛烈麼?
單是想像已經夠累
Cherry好幾次放下發軟的手

在十字架下張開雙手,我們一個個
都成了
愛與被愛的天使

註1:回家後翻查資料,才知道道風山前身是佛教寺院的傳聞,其實是錯的。原來道風山是在一九三十年代,由一位名叫艾香德牧師(Dr. Karl Ludvig Reichelt)的挪威傳教士創立。因為他對中國文化有濃厚興趣,又為了方便向佛教徒傳教,才將道風山建設成中國式建築群,吸引本地人來此習道。
