#Sounds_Great 前前傳
[sounds great]
是最近和朋友一起work on的聲音計劃
目前規劃邀請不同的聲音
來詮釋朋友的文字
然後再重新組合編輯
很好奇在過程中
會產生什麼樣不同於視覺閱讀的感官經驗
可以確定的是
一切都將回到覺察與觀照
這兩天在思考還有什麼樣形式的文本
適合用聲音詮釋
然後遇到這首詩 :Naomi Shihab Nye的「Kindness」
在這集裡
還會提到跟這首詩本身一樣詩意的創作背景
Check it out

KINDNESS BY NAOMI SHIHAB NYE
Before you know what kindness really is
you must lose things,
feel the future dissolve in a moment
like salt in a weakened broth.
What you held in your hand,
what you counted and carefully saved,
all this must go so you know
how desolate the landscape can be
between the regions of kindness.
How you ride and ride
thinking the bus will never stop,
the passengers eating maize and chicken
will stare out the window forever.
Before you learn the tender gravity of kindness
you must travel where the Indian in a white poncho
lies dead by the side of the road.
You must see how this could be you,
how he too was someone
who journeyed through the night with plans
and the simple breath that kept him alive.
Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,
you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.
You must wake up with sorrow.
You must speak to it till your voice
catches the thread of all sorrows
and you see the size of the cloth.
Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore,
only kindness that ties your shoes
and sends you out into the day to gaze at bread,
only kindness that raises its head
from the crowd of the world to say
It is you I have been looking for,
and then goes with you everywhere
like a shadow or a friend.
在你真正了解慈悲是什麼之前
你必須失去一些東西
感覺未來在剎那之間瓦解就像鹽融化在平淡的高湯之中。
所有你握在手中的
所有你所重視而且小心翼翼保存的
這一切終將都會離去
這是為了讓你暸解
地平線上的風景竟能夠如此荒蕪
存在於慈悲交界的區域。
你一直在車上
以為公車永遠不會到站,
車上的人啃著玉米和雞肉
永遠盯著窗外。
在你體會慈悲的柔軟力量之前
你必須旅行到穿著白色斗篷的印地安人
臥倒路旁死去的地方。
你必須知道這也可能是你,
他也是人
在夜晚旅行憑著計劃和
單純的呼吸讓他活下來。
當你了解慈悲存於內在最深處之前,
你必須知道哀傷也是最深的另一種東西。
你必須在哀傷中醒來。
你必須對他說話直到你的聲音
抓住哀傷的縷縷絲線
於是你看見這塊布的大小。
於是除了慈悲之外,一切都不再有意義了,
只有慈悲為你繫上鞋帶
而且送你去每日生活、寄信、買麵包
只有慈悲抬起頭
從這世界的人群中對你說
我就是你一直在尋覓的,
然後追隨你到任何地方
如影子或友人
#聽的時候意識到是誰在傾聽
#說的時候意識到是誰在說話
#讀的時候意識到是誰在閱讀
#寫的時候意識到是誰在書寫
Sounds great, sounds dreamy!
