旅行是:
行李愈來愈多,
盤川愈來愈少.
臉皮愈來愈厚,
鞋底愈來愈薄.
胃口愈吃愈大,
肚腩愈縮愈小,
腳力愈走愈好,
眼睛愈看愈花.
咖啡愈喝愈多,
晚上愈睡愈少.
時間愈算愈短,
心情愈想愈不妙,
孩子愈來愈不想上學,
爸爸愈來愈不想上班,
媽媽愈來愈不想煮飯!
感謝孩子的父親, 袓父母, 教母,
整個旅程, 我能閒蕩, 能書寫, 也能閱讀,
除了一本中文小說,
還有在倫敦舊書店隨手買的一本古典散文集:
The Virago Book of Women Travellers,
沒想到韻味無窮, 非常耐看. .
讓我借用編者的一段序言,
來結束這趟歐洲旅行.
Lawrence Durrell…….. wrote, “A great traveler is a kind of introspective as she covers the ground outwardly, so she advances inwardly.” And indeed, for many women, the inner landscape is as important as the outer, the beholder as significant as the beheld. The landscape is shaped by the consciousness of the person who crosses it. There is a dialogue between what is happening within and without……
回到台中了,
孩子要上學了, 爸爸要上班了, 我要煮飯了!
不過,
台中彷彿又是我的一趟旅程!
這內在和外在的對話,
仍然,
繼續舖展!
