去到远方 | 我好像突然懂得了旅行的意义
"The Record of a Floating Life" states:
"The world is vast, time is limited,
Life is mundane, and fate is predetermined.
Life is resilient,
So we spend our lives in pursuit.
Perhaps often navigating through adversity,
Or occasionally feeling overwhelmed by reality.
But when we struggle to break into enchanting fairy tales,
When our souls draw near to warm places,
That heart, immersed in somewhat dimmed years,
Will be reignited once more.
For the vast majority of ordinary people,
I believe,
Simply living a life free from worry, with food and clothing,
Is already a great fortune.
Though, in all likelihood,
Such fortune
Is plain and unremarkable,
Not worthy of boasting,
Nor attracting the spotlight.
However,
In the passing decades,
We also desire ups and downs,
We also desire extraordinary stories,
We also desire to leave an indelible mark on our lives.
How do we achieve this?
Only through two paths:
A departure of the spirit or of the body.
In middle school,
I read Sanmao's books,
I saw the Sahara,
I experienced the Canary Islands.
Countless stories began to take shape in my mind:
Dazzling love, thrilling adventures,
And even a state of existence beyond the mundane.
And so, the dream began to sprout,
To strive to journey to distant lands became an obsession.
Finally, one day,
The cities that once invaded my dreams and the lush scenery
Were all beneath my feet,
Captured by my eyes.
In that moment,
I realized,
That which I once thought unattainable
Would eventually come to fruition.
Even the things I once fervently pursued
Were not beyond my grasp.
And thus,
We begin to seek new horizons,
No longer content with merely having been there,
But hoping to leave behind traces and evidence
Of the experiences we once felt.
I began to contemplate,
To observe,
To invest my emotions,
To sing for her,
To applaud all differences,
To be moved by the myriad forms of life in this world.
And so,
I truly learned respect.
Venice has no cars,
Yet it buzzes with constant human activity.
Three thousand meters above the snowy mountains,
Some wield snowballs, descending swiftly.
People wander the corners of the world, homeless,
Yet when our gazes meet,
Smiles still adorn our faces.
I believe,
The essence of travel
Is finally having the opportunity
To witness with our own eyes
The myriad forms of humanity.
It is finally having the opportunity
To cultivate a heart that embraces all.
Best wishes to all.

《浮生六记》里说
“世事茫茫 光阴有限人生碌碌 荣枯有数’
生命是坚韧的
所以我们终生都在追寻
也许时常奔走于困境中
抑或偶尔郁于现实的不堪
但是当我们挣扎着闯入引人沉沦的童话里
当灵魂靠近溢满了温暖的地方
那颗沉溺在有些暗淡了的岁月里的心
将会重新被点亮

对于绝大多数的普通人而言
我想
能够衣食无忧安平健康的活着
便已经是一场巨大的幸运
虽然大概率
这样的幸运
是平淡且普通着的
不值得被炫耀
也得不到镁光灯的聚焦
—
可是
在这数十载的光阴里
也想要波澜起伏
也想拥有精彩绝伦的故事
也想为自己的生命打下不算泛泛的人生底色
要如何做呢
唯两条路
精神或肉体的出走
在初中的时候
读了三毛的书
看到了撒哈拉
领略了加纳利
无数的故事开始在脑中构造
有璀璨的爱情 有跌宕的奇遇
甚至还有超然物外的生活状态
于是梦想开始发芽
要努力去到很远很远
成为了执念
—
终于有一天
曾经闯入梦里的城市和葳蕤的风光
都被我踏在脚下
纳入眼中
那一刻
我才发现
原来曾以为遥不可及的东西
其实终究都会实现
甚至也许曾经为之疯狂的
其实不过尔尔
于是
我们开始寻找新的征途
不在敷衍的满足于我只是到过
而期待留下曾经感受过的痕迹与证明
我开始思考
开始观察
开始将情感投入
开始为她歌唱
为所有的不同而鼓掌
为世间一切众生相而倾倒
—
于是
我真正懂得了尊重
威尼斯没有车
一样川流不息人声鼎沸
雪山之上三千米
有人执雪仗飒飒而下
无家可归流浪在世界角落的人们
视线相撞之时
脸上依然可见微笑
我想
旅行的意义
是终于能够有机会
用肉眼去看到
人间万千世相的模样
是终于有机会
造就一颗有容乃大的心

祝好大家
