Sacrificed。
Waylaid。
Oh my love; how I shall mourn them。
Many years ago in London; I was visited by a girl…friend in a highly emotional state。 I was used to seeing her troubled; plagued by doomed or thwarted expectations; often lonely and depressed。
It transpired that she’d been to a seance。 A male voice had sought her out; telling her; tenderly; how much he loved her; how he wished to see her happy; and how he was always watching over her。
“It was my father;” she whispered tearfully。 “The father I never knew。 He was killed in the war; when I was a baby。”
I reacted with a certain scepticism: “Do you really believe there’s such a thing as spirits?”
“Who knows?” she smiled; unperturbed。 “The thing is; it made me realise that he would have felt just like that。 And; although he’s gone; I still have his love。 It is contained within me。 I just wasn’t aware of it before。”
The woman I knew had been transformed。 She stood before me radiant; secure in the knowledge that she was lovable and loved。 Looking at her; I could tell that the person she had suddenly bee had a rosy future ahead of her。
That moment was a turning…point for me; too。 For; just like her; I had a father who died when I was a baby。
My son used to have a black…and…white pet rabbit who amazed us all。 He was fully house…trained; answered to his name; he played with dinky toys and went cycling in a basket on the handle…bars。
He liked watching the early evening news; sitting on the sofa with the rest of us; occasionally operating the remote control with his hind paw; or sipping tea from my mug when I wasn’t looking。
The rabbit was so much part of our life; we couldn’t imagine it without him scuttling around the house。
After two years he was struck down with “flu”。 The nasty kind that few rabbits survive。 I rang the vet; who promised to e: a sixty mile round…trip for our precious pet。
While waiting; I took the rabbit on my lap to try and syringe some water into him。 Weak; but peaceful; he lay on his side in what seemed an unnatural position。 He placed his head fortably on my arm and gave me a curious glance: not like a rabbit at all。
Later I realized it was an acknowledgement: of my presence; my care; and my love for him。 For at that moment I had a rare sensation of love in its purest; most unadulterated form: love stripped of all self…interest; existing only as a mystic force。
I felt it reaching out from me; enveloping the tiny body on my lap like a protective mantle; holding him as gently as my arms; while he breathed his last。
I shall never forget the rabbit or the feeling he; like any living thing; was able to inspire。
Motherhood 母性(1)
春天,当我们的第一只小羊羔降生的时候,我来到羊圈旁,看着母羊呵护着她的孩子:她温柔地舔着湿湿的小羊,轻声地对它耳语。
那时,我对自己说:这是多么基本的母性本能啊。当一个母亲并不难,你所做的只是跟着你的天性走就可以了。不需要精心设计,也无须拥有平衡的判断力或是作出什么艰难的抉择,只要像其他人一样就可以了。
然而不久以后,当你的小心肝给你白眼并对你说“不”的时候,当她把你为她准备的营养食物吐出来的时候,当她跺着小脚说她讨厌你的时候,母性呈现出了它的另外一面。
如果你是只母羊,那么此时,你或许决定这是该断奶的时候了,你会转身去悠闲地嚼着草地上的青草而不去理会她,反而轻松于没有谁会再拽着你的奶头不放了。
当然,我们,是不会这样做的。我们的孩子需要我们,而且会继续需要下去。
一直这样爱着她们,可以说是一种挑战。但是也正使我们从她们身上学到:耐心、换位思考和忍耐。
做一个母亲不再是件容易的事情。但却是值得的。
我曾有一次深陷飞机的紧急事故中,在企图紧急降落之前,我们必须在空中再飞一个小时以把多余的燃料耗光。
这是非常漫长的一个小时。我身边的一个陌生人握着我的手说,他的整个生命正在他眼前闪过。
我自己的心里,则经历着更恐怖的体验,我在想象着自己的葬礼,想着那个小棺材能不能盛下我的身体。
这时,另一个想法闯了进来,一个我下意识在努力压制的苦闷的想法——我想到了我那刚学会走路的孩子,想象着他早上来到我们的床前,钻进妈妈的被子里等待开启一天的第一个拥抱。
我看着他每天走进这个房间,我的床上却是空的,他再也无法感受到被妈妈手臂包围的感觉。
就在那时,我突然意识到了父母之爱的可怕之处:它让我们被生活紧紧锁铐着,像是被勒索了一样不能自救,这甚至让我们都无法优雅而无心碎地死去。
从那天开始,我对自己只有一个祈祷:我要让自己活到我的孩子没有我也能好好生活的那一天。
我的独子刚刚开始他寄宿学校的生活。没有他在家,屋子里空荡荡的。是他自己提出要去寄宿学校的,他的父亲也支持他这么做。
我反对过,用理智和非理智的手段反抗。最终,我质问丈夫为什么要让儿子去寄宿学校。“因为
