截肢

躺在手术室里的,是一位45岁的中年男子,因左大腿的软骨肉瘤(chondrosarcoma)复发,而面临被截肢(hip disarticulation)的命运。

Radical Disarticulation of the Hip with Surgical Amputation

不消一小时,他永远失去了左腿。


看着今早亲手检查的左脚变成等着被“打包”的“东西”,心里不禁感慨:外表再美再完整的身体,在手术台上也只不过是血肉。与其将大部分的时间与注意力投资在外在美,不如趁四肢还健全、头脑还清醒的时候,发挥它们最大的效用。


“人生没有所有权,只有使用权。” 《证严法师静思语》

枕头


"Don't remain idle, claiming that you're too cold in the morning,
too hot in the afternoon and too sleepy in the evening, and then
complain you don't have time to practice meditation. Don't listen to
the defiling tune of laziness and oppose the teaching of the wise. A
timid person who listen only to himself is so busy groping for his
pillow he can never progress along the path to enlightenment."

                                                                  -Mae Chee Kaew

虽然你很温柔,可是我还是要和你保持距离,不然要完成的事情就会堆积如山了!

失落

别人在台上发光发热,我却在琴房里做自己唯一的听众……
