我想,完美的人生是这样来的:
快乐的童年 - 爹妈给的
折腾的青春 - 自己作的
奋斗的中年 - 老婆逼的
安逸的晚年 - 上天赐的
综上所述,貌似我们一生中可以自己作主肆意挥霍的就是青春的时光了。年轻人,莫等闲,要折腾。
又到了毕业的季节。同事,朋友的孩子有好几个今年毕业的。想起了那年去参加一个初中毕业典礼的情形。我原来以为初中毕业,孩子还小,没什么好特别庆祝的,到了才知道,大错特错。不大的校园布置得庄严而又喜庆。无数的蓝白两色气球绑在一起,形成了一个巨大的气球拱形门。家长们都穿戴整齐,手里捧着鲜花,相互低声交谈着,等待着孩子们入场。
过了许久,音乐响起来了,我随着大家的目光回头望去。嗬,这是初中毕业生吗?一转眼,不懂事的顽童变成了翩翩少年。男生们都西服领带,很绅士的样子。女孩子们穿上最美的裙子,头发梳得精巧又别致。少男少女们身上焕发着无比的光彩,脸上灿烂的笑容盖过了加州六月的骄阳。
许多的掌声,感怀,和祝词之后,一位女老师为孩子们唱了一首歌,《I Hope You Dance(愿你去跳舞)》。 清澈嘹亮的歌声中流露出真情的期盼,我的眼睛竟湿润了,偷望四周,许多人也在抹眼泪。一切的言语都化作了这简单的祝福。用这首歌里的文雅之词说就是,要去跳舞,跳生命之舞,别做壁花。通俗地讲就是-趁年轻,去折腾吧。
生命的意义在于不断地去探索,去追寻,去爬前面那座山。它注重的是过程。有一天你会知道,当你爱过,痛过,翻过那无限风光的险峰,结果是什么已经不那么重要了。走吧,不要只是坐在那里旁观,去到那人生的舞台上尽情起舞。
然后,折腾完了,最不济,咱再回归平庸不迟。
这个毕业的季节里,送上这首歌,《I Hope You Dance》。愿你们的人生起舞飞扬。

我试着把歌词翻成中文:
愿你去跳生命之舞
愿你永不失去那颗求索的心
永远保存那一份慕义的饥渴
不让一丝气息白白掠过
爱,它不会让你空手无获
愿你站在大海边看到渺小的自己
当机遇的大门关闭,愿另一扇为你开启
答应我你要对信心坚定不移
是选择旁观静坐,还是去跳舞?
我愿你去跳舞,去跳生命之舞
愿你永不畏惧远方的险峰
不因山路崎岖艰难而选择坦途
人生在于敢冒那值得一搏的风险
爱,它或许是个值得一犯的错误
不要让那无心的伤害变成苦涩
莫要轻言放弃,再给自己一个机会
相信那来自上天的祝福
是选择旁观静坐,还是去跳舞?
我愿你去跳舞,去跳生命之舞
时间的车轮滚滚,永不止息
莫等闲,我们只有前行
谁又想多年后,慕回首
疑惑那流逝的时光,岁月蹉跎
是选择旁观静坐,还是去跳舞?
我愿你去跳舞,去跳生命之舞
I Hope You Dance
(Singer: Lee Ann Womack
Songwriters: Mark D. Sanders; Tia Sillers)
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance (Rolling us along)
I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance (Where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance I hope you dance (Dance)
I hope you dance(Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance (Rolling us along)
I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance (Where those years have gone)
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder(Dance)
Where those years have gone (Dance)
是的, 生命不息,折腾不止 ~~~
杜鹃,问候!难得你还记得那首小诗,很久都没有诗意了 :)
