寧靜

After supper， I wanted to cool myself， so I played a piece of music ，that was Mozart's“serenade”，and lay on the bed. Closing my eyes， I still felt a little fretful and couldn't calm down completely. I therefore turned off the light. In the room， there was only the faint blue light on the walls which was from the computer screen ，the peaceful music， and me.

I closed my eyes once again ，and tried my best to throw any unhappy stuff into the junk box and then delete them all--- Suddenly， I felt it became darker in the room. I opened my eyes， and I found that the screen had already been in the state of “hibernation”It was tired， too. I thought， just like me.

It was completely quiet all around now. The only thing I could see was the light coming from my neighbor?window on the opposite street. It was good， because I wouldn't feel afraid with its company. I still wanted to close my eyes， but there was no need. The eyelids were protective screens which were set between our souls and the external world， in order to pervert us from being interfered. Now， everything here was belonging to me， and nobody was likely to bother， so it was natural that I needn't close my eyes any more ， wasn't it?

I lost in deep thought. Suddenly， I came to a strange place. There I came across a wise and farsinghted old man， who was strolling on a quiet path in a forest.

“You look very tired.?He said.

“Do I ? Perhaps that's because I have too many things to do.”“No， I meant your heart.”“My heart? Tired? I don't think so.”“Yes， I am sure of that， I could judge it from your words.?I was speechless.

“Did you say that you have too many things to do?”“Yes， indeed! I do not really understand why us students are much busier than adults， and what on earth we are for.”“The problem is just right here. Isn't it good having many things to do? Have you ever tried to do nothing for 30 days?”“Never.”“Nothing could be more terrible than that， son. You would feel gloomy and lonely. What't worse is， that you would lose all hope. Then， you would realize how lucky and happy you are with things to do.?Taking no notice of me， he cleared his throat， and continued:“No matter what you do， it is al for yourself. So remember， think over in advance whenever you plan to do something， because everything you do is for your own benefit. You must take the responsibility and decide not only what can be done but also what cannot be done.”“But， sometimes I really think the surroundings are in such a mess that I can't even catch my breath.?”You shouldn't complain a lot. Son， that's kind of choice. Getting bread at the time of hunger， listening to music when being bored， don't you think it is already a luxury that many people are too far behind to catch up?I nodded， and lost in thought.

“Remember， if you treasure your life， and treat it with love， there is no problem that can't be solved?I lowered my head， thinking over his words.

When I lifted my head， he was nowhere.

I didn't chase him ，instead， I walked on my way， and mumbled in my heart， Remember， if you treasure your life， and face it with love， there is no problem that can't be solved.”A gust of blast blew over， and the branches began to rock violently. I still kept my eyes wide open ，staring at the front.

A leaf fell into my palm. I saw some words on it， so I read it out in a low voice， “You should have a happy life. So long as you are determined to succeed， failure will never beat you.”Holding the leaf tightly， I crossed my fingers over my chest， and thanked God for his favor.

Not until the light was on did I find that the “serenade”was over. In my hand were my glasses.

Unconsciously， the minute hand of the clock had already walked for a round. I should get down to do my business now.

晚飯過后，想靜一靜，我躺在床上，電腦里放著CD——莫扎特的《小夜曲》。閉上眼后，還是有些浮躁，我索性把燈也關(guān)了。于是屋里只剩下電腦屏幕射在墻上的淡淡的藍(lán)光，悠揚(yáng)而微弱的樂曲，還有我。

我再次閉上眼，試著讓自己完全放松下來，并把腦子里那些不快的事放入“垃圾箱”，然后“刪除”……突然，我感到似乎更暗了，于是睜開眼，才發(fā)現(xiàn)屏幕已處于“休眠”狀態(tài)，原來和我一樣，也感到累了。

現(xiàn)在四周真正靜謐了，我能看到的惟一光源是對面人家的窗戶，這樣也好，不會(huì)讓我感到害怕。我還想閉眼，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)已不需要了。眼皮是放在心靈與外界之間的一道屏障，為了防止受到干擾。而現(xiàn)在周圍的一切都是我的，沒有人來打擾我，自然就不需要它了。

我靜靜地思索著，仿佛自己已化身為一個(gè)睿智的老人，漫步在夜晚寧靜的山林，而平日中真實(shí)的我就在他身邊……

他說：“你似乎看起來很疲憊。”

我回答：“是嗎？或許是因?yàn)槲乙龅氖抡娴奶唷！?/p>

“不，我是指你的心。”

“我的心？疲憊？不會(huì)吧。”

“是的，從你的話中我已能聽出。”

“……”

“你說覺得要做的事很多？”

“是啊！的確很多！我實(shí)在不明白為什么學(xué)生比大人還忙，更不明白為了什么。”

“問題就在這里。有很多事要做難道不好嗎？你試過30天內(nèi)什么事也不做嗎？”

“沒有。”

“那會(huì)更可怕的，孩子。你會(huì)感到郁悶、孤單，更重要的是，沒有希望和寄托。到那時(shí)，你就會(huì)覺得有事可做是一種享受，一種福氣。”

“真是這樣嗎？”

他沒有理會(huì)我，清了清嗓子，繼續(xù)說：“無論你做什么事，都是為自己。記住，做事前要想清楚，你做的每一件事都是為自己而做的。并且你都要負(fù)責(zé)任，哪些該做，哪些不該做，這些都是你自己的事。”

“可我有時(shí)真覺得周圍環(huán)境很亂，讓我喘不過氣來。”

“你沒有資格抱怨這些，孩子。那是選擇。饑餓時(shí)能吃到面包，無聊時(shí)能聽到音樂，這已經(jīng)是很多人望塵莫及的了。”

我點(diǎn)點(diǎn)頭，若有所思。

“記住，珍惜生活，并以祈禱的愛心面對生活，就沒有不能解決的問題。”

我低著頭，品味著他的話。

再抬起頭，他已不見蹤影。

我沒有去追趕，只是緩緩地踱著步子，喃喃自語：“珍惜生活，并以祈禱的愛心面對生活，就沒有不能解決的問題。”

一陣狂風(fēng)吹來，樹枝嘩嘩作響，我仍睜著眼睛，凝視前方。

一片樹葉落入我的掌心，我攤開手掌，看見上面有字，就一聲讀著：“你本該過上幸福的生活，只要決心成功，失敗就永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)把你擊垮。”我手里握著樹葉，在胸口劃著十字，感謝主的恩賜。

屋里的燈亮了，我才發(fā)現(xiàn)《小夜曲》早已停止，在我手中的是自己的眼鏡。

不知不覺中，分針已轉(zhuǎn)了一圈，我又要去做事了。
