熙宁九年,恩州武城县有旋风自东南来,望之插天如羊角,大木尽拔。俄顷旋风卷入云霄中。既而渐近,所经县城官舍、居民略尽,悉卷入云中。县令儿女奴婢卷去,复坠地,死伤者数人。民间死伤亡失者不可胜计,县城悉为丘墟,遂移今县。
第二年的端午节,我到离沙地稍远一点的一个村子里采访。这个地方几乎家家房前屋后都是沙枣,就像成都平原上一丛竹林一户人家。过去我以为沙枣总是临沙傍碱而居,其叶总是小而灰,色调总是暗而旧。但在这里,沙枣依水而长,一片葱绿,最大的一片叶子居然有一指之长,是我过去看到的三倍之大。
黄花梨是极其名贵的木材,是制作高档家具的上好材料,有“鬼脸”的黄花梨更是其中的佼佼者,被视为佳品中的珍品,价值连城,受到世人的追捧。 其实,所谓“鬼脸”就是黄花梨受到伤害之后留下的疤。因为黄花梨生长于沿海地区,常遭台风袭击, 在风雨飘摇中不是被扭曲,就是被折弯,甚至被折断。尽管如此,也阻挡不了黄花梨的成长,只不过,为了弥补伤害,受伤处的纹理发生了变化,形成了各种各样惟妙惟肖的图形,有的像动物,有的像植物,有的像人物,形态各异,丰富多彩,形象逼真,十分迷人。
我绕到山的背后,人却很少,只有一老者在山坡上弯腰寻觅着什么东西。我以为他掉了钥匙或手机之类的物件,白雪上落黑物,应该很容易找到,便上前帮忙寻找,他却提醒我道:“小心别踩了!”
行路难李白金樽清酒斗十千,玉盘珍羞直万钱。停杯投箸不能食,拔剑四顾心茫然。被渡黄河冰塞川,将登太行雪满山。闲来垂钓碧溪上,忽复乘舟梦日边,行路难!行路难!多歧路,今安在?长风破浪会有时,直挂云帆济沧海。
出佛手园,远处有山,山中有岚,有云。岚清,云白,绸缎一般,棉花一般,曼妙而行,逍遥自在。除了爱,还有眼前这山川草木。小小人类身处自然,永不孤单。那些草木,那些动物,那些自然界中的生灵,各安其所,相处自洽。而人类,不免焦虑,屡屡焦虑,内在小宇宙紊乱,何不走到自然中,谦卑蹲下,去学习一株草、一颗露珠的宁静?
门前广场上临时拉了一些电灯,将堡门下半截依稀照见,上半截和高高在上的门楼混在如墨的夜色里。一个正在熔化铁水的大炉子起劲地烧着。鼓风机使炉顶和炉门不停地吐着夺目的火舌。
第二天打早,母亲便端一小凳,坐在这些水淋淋的盆具间,像一位老到的艺术家,开始了熟练的操作。包粽子说难不难,但真要把它包得大头尖尾,见棱见角——按母亲的说法要“俊模俊样”,也不容易。
这种美如此生动,直教我心灵震颤,甚至畏怯。是的,人可以直面威胁,可以蔑视阴谋,可以踩过肮脏的泥泞,可以对叽叽咕咕保持沉默,可以对丑恶闭上眼睛,然而在面对美的精灵时却是一种怯弱。
2009年美国网球公开赛。观众目不转睛地期待比赛开始,发球方运动员将球举过头顶,蓄势做随时发球状态,但裁判微笑示意他再等一等。
我从认字起,爸爸就给我买书刊,我关注的第一本文学书是爸爸在阅读的《红岩》,当时书名上的字我还识不全,就念成了“红山石”,别人都笑了,而爸爸微笑着说:“她聪明,大概的意思并没有错。”
