underneath the stars
It is all very well, when the pen flows, but then there are the dark days when imagination deserts one, and it is an effort to put anything down on paper. That little you have achieved stares at you at the end of the day, and you know the next morning you will have to scrape it down and start again. ~Elizabeth Aston

想写字
14:44

字写多了,写字变成不再是无谓的挥笔沾墨,而变成了对自己的一种期待、修养。就如和尚打禅、武士练剑,写字除了是技术的磨练,亦是一种追求“道”的身心修养。

记得最初从胡乱临摹开始,中期开始初窥门径,到后来启发审美观,最后修得自审美德,写字已经变成自己的生活方式,亦也是自己感想的表现。一张宣纸,配上自己挥出的墨韵,反映出来的却是心里最诚实的一面。“玉不琢,不成器;人不学,不知道。”对书道的追求,就像对“仁”、对儒家思想的追求一样,是永恒不尽、令人前进不懈的。渐渐被遗忘的笔触、手感,是能在短短时间里练回来的;但对自己内心的磨练,却是要经过不停地重复、不断地雕塑,以达到更高、更完美的境界。

所以这次暑假最想做的,是写上三个月的字。挥笔,写出自己心中的感觉,磨练出更高尚的自己。
