My Secret Predawn Rite
Time was in my life when the dawn happened to other people. I was definitely not a morning person; I associated the sunri with long plane flights across many time zones and groggy strolls around strange cities waiting for my hotel room to become available. Then I had children, and the first light took on new meaning. Sometimes it was the sigh at the end of a fretful night up with a feverish baby; or the opposite, the joyous cry of an exuberant 3-year-old eager to get the day going. It was only later, when mornings were taken over by the getting-to-school frenzy, that I discovered the renity of the surprisingly fast transition from night to day. For the small price of 15 minutes of sleep I could buy 15 minutes of solitary peace—with a cup of coffee and the newspaper. Given the tidbit of time at my disposal, I developed the habit of skimming the paper, which quickly came down to a surreptitious and almost superstitious ritual of checking out obituaries.
At first I attributed this new habit to advancing age—I had recently turned 40—and glumly c
oncluded that I was becoming morbid. But why, then, was I finding my cret rite so uplifting? Finally, after many years of starting the day this way, I have figured out that I am doing it not to obss about death but to find out about life. Real life. Obituaries capture the benchmarks of life span without passing judgment or making order out of the events. The high points are easy—Pulitzer Prize winners joke that as soon as they are named they know what the headline is going to be on their obituary—but I read most attentively for clues to the defeats and the flatline periods, the inexplicable changes of heart and the twists of fate, the gambles and the unexpected conquences, the loo ends…

The message that comes through over and over is that although there are times in any life when things em to be preceding step by logical step, the whole is mostly random and askew. Life, as every biography and obit I have ever read confirms, is what happens when you are making other plans.

生命中有段时间,黎明与我无关。我绝不是一个早起人;一提起日出,我就想起了漫长的
飞机旅途。常常在跨越不同时区到达目的地后,客房却偏偏未腾出,于是我只好拖着疲惫的身躯,在陌生的城市漫无目的的游荡。后来,我有了孩子,第一缕光对我说有着新的意义。有时,孩子高烧不退,整晚烦躁不安,黎明就在我的叹息中来到了;有时刚好相反,三岁孩子充满活力开始新的的一天,黎明就在他兴奋的喊叫声中到来。后来,孩子上学了,于是清晨时光就在上学的忙碌中流逝了。同时,我突然发现从夜晚到白天,宁静的时间竟如此短暂。那么,不如少睡15分钟,去享受15分钟独处的宁静——喝着咖啡,看着报纸,好不怡然。由于可支配的时间有限,我养成了读报的习惯。我喜欢偷偷浏览讣告,这一习惯雷打不动,几乎近于有点迷信的仪式。
起先,我把我这种新的癖好归结于年龄的增长——我已近40——腰身一挺因此颇为郁闷地断定自己心理病态。可为什么我却觉得这种仪式令人振奋呢?在多年以这样方式开始新的一天后,我终于发现,我这么做,并非老想着死亡这个主题而是在寻找生命,生命的真谛。讣告捕捉生人生中的重大时刻,并不作评判。重大的时刻在讣告中当然很容易被发现牛排英文——普利策奖获得主打趣说,一旦获奖,他们就知道将来自己讣告中的标题是什么了——不过我读讣告,更关注其字里行间出现的生命中的挫败,平淡无奇的阶段,难以言表的心灵改变和命运的曲曲折折,人生的赌博和不尽如意的结果,还有未了的心愿。
中秋节灯谜
反复阅读讣告,使我深知:有时人生一步一步发展,符合一定的逻辑规律,但纵观全局,却曲曲折折,世事难料。正如我所读过的自传和讣告所印证的,人生,就是你制定计划时意外发生的事情。
