Sidestep

逃避

吳星瑩

.

在狂暴的世界中,築起自己的世界。
如果格格不入,索性自成一格。

~《內在森林》沙漠玫瑰植物誌~

我一直以為的我,原來只是躲避中的我。
我想重新發覺我,如同重新發覺這世界。

允許自己一直逃避到,終於想要面對。

逃避不是放棄,而是在還無法面對時,努力爭取更多的反應時間,努力拓展更多的轉圜空間,努力蓄積更多的改變力量。

當我允許自己逃避,我才終於不再逃避,只是在還找不出答案時,坦然留白。原來繞路是更大的勇敢,直到終於準備好自己,回來面對。

允許生命中有許多空檔,容納更多的可能。或許我試過了所有方式,仍然拼不回自己,只是因為,還沒找齊所有的拼圖。

只是因為,還不到我作答的時候,當生命還忙著提問。

當陽光最烈的時候,我不逼自己直視太陽。自然等待某刻,我終於對自己溫柔,也對世界溫柔。

I will keep sidestepping until I make up my mind to face it.

That's the way I'm facing it. Dodging is to earn more time to react, more space to turn around, and more strength to make changes.

I just sidestep, not escape, knowing I'll be able to undertake one day. Until I can find the real answer, I won't reply to myself hastily. Bypassing is sometimes braver than going straight.

I allow myself free, so I can have more flexibility and possibility. Perhaps the last missing piece of the puzzle is still staying upside down in my heart.

Perhaps it's still not time to face up.

Sometimes staring directly into the sun means blinding myself. I patiently wait until sunset, until all questions are asked, and all answers are prepared during the long night. Then I'll just sunrise.
