我想不論作者或我都無法給讀者們任何特定的答案,但或許我們能從美國神學家保羅 ‧ 田立克( Paul Tillich)的思想中得到一些靈感上的提點,接續將以其著作《存在的勇氣》進行以下的論述︰
" The courage to be is the ethical act in which man affirms his own being in spite of those elements of his existence which conflict with his essential self-affirmation.''
「存在(to be)的勇氣乃是人不顧(in spite of)與其本質層面之自我肯定相衝突的那些實存因素,而仍然肯定他自身存在(his own being)的倫理學行動。」(中譯)
"Speaking of courage as a key to the interpretation of being-itself, one could say that this key, when it opens the door to being, finds, at the same time, being and the negation of being and their unity.''
閱讀《直到死亡貼近我(Let the Whole Thundering World Come Home: A Memoir)》前,我並不知道作者娜妲莉.高柏(Natalie Goldberg) 出版過許多本關於寫作心靈治療的書籍,但靠著書寫,的確能讓作者本人在不安時內心得到平靜。這是文字和書寫的魅力。
