凝望一棵开花的树

王长敏

    ①我在杂乱的、破旧的村庄，寂寞地走过漫长的雨季。将我年少时的眼光，从晦暗的日子里打捞出来的是一棵棵开花的树，它们以一串串卓然不俗的花擦亮了我的眼睛，也洗净了我的灵魂。

    ②整个春天我仰望着天空，看一棵棵沉默不语的树正吐露芳香，我常在一棵树下站定，想探访一棵会开花的树的秘密，我惊奇一棵会开花的树：洋槐树的树皮，被四季的风雨雕刻成皱巴巴的脸，在这随处丛生，其貌不扬的树上，当一串串白白的、黄黄的、亮闪闪的花儿挂满枝头的时候，一个杂乱无章的村庄因此而变得诗意葱茏。那一串串的花朵上浅下暗，像盛满香料的杯子，清清的花香在春风里一次次掠过纯净，宽广的天空，让一个没有风景的村庄香飘四方。我蓦然发现一棵棵开花的树才是村庄的灵魂，一串串，一朵朵花才是树的灵魂。一棵开花的树多么遵守季节的秩序，每一个春天的到来，就把洁白的灵魂挂在树梢上，它们之所以选择了那样的高度，是为逃避一双肮脏的手掌，或低俗或恶俗的攻击？

    ③和一个村庄一样卑微的洋槐树、苦楝树、椿树、石榴树、梨树，它们和乡村的房屋，农舍，田野的庄稼一样保持着永久的沉默。但它们用芳醇的花香，或苦味的花香，向尘世表达出很智慧，很超脱的喜悦，我在整个春天被这浓郁的香气迷住了。我看见了生活里的大美和大雅。

    ④我在书本垒砌的阶梯上爬行，一棵棵开花树站立成我精神的守望者，我是五月出生，和石榴花同期，我自信在我的生命里流淌着有志者事竟成的力量。也许被那时的贫穷，闭塞，落后，愚昧的乡村生活所苦。或被满地烂泥堆积的土路，破旧不堪的屋舍等杂乱无章的凄凉风景所伤，我逃跑般离开了村庄，一去再也没有回头，仿佛心有余悸对那个村庄再作回忆，我向往富足，自由，浪漫的城市生活。我在一本本书里寻找出路，在一门门学问中学下去，我掌握着先进实用的技术。我从一个单位调换到另一个单位，我认识许多该认识和不该认识的人，我看见了不该看见的东西，我认识了被物质欲望燃烧得忘却灵魂存在的男人和女人，看清了争名夺利者的丑陋灵魂，我被虚情假意的友情爱情蒙骗着。在夜深人静的时候，我看见了自己多么孤独的灵魂，心头涌动着无限抑郁的烦闷。我想关掉手机，关上防盗门离开人群过一段净心的生活，在红尘滚滚里这是不可能的，许多莫名其妙的流言将会把人淹死。

    ⑤远离了故土，远离了那蓊蓊郁郁的开花的树，一个极度困惑，极度迷茫的时间段，我在一个不经意的日子听到了古筝，在一曲曲琴韵里寻找到了一片片苍苍的森林，梨花或洋槐花灼灼的白光正在阳光里复制我年少的梦。沉默不语的树啊，我蓦然发现万叶吟风的夏夜，一棵开花的树的语言就是古筝琴韵，我从小未曾见到的古筝，我一接触它竟无师自通地和它沟通了，像一见钟情的恋人。仿佛与树相伴的日子我就听懂这种音乐所表达的深沉的感情。在每一个酒醉的夜深人静，一曲曲古筝伴随我，洗涤了我心灵上的尘土。我自认为我是认真地、小心地一路走过来的，我已拥有许多知识和学问，其实我的纯洁的灵魂正不知不觉地被物欲抽走了。

    ⑥当我开始把目光从城市的名枷利锁里收回，投入大自然的一棵自由开花的树，一棵开花的树的精神正注入我的思想，我的目光有了阳光和绿色可以停留，有了自由呼吸的纯净空气，我脱离了低俗的生活，我的目光和灵魂渐渐变得宽广而清澈。

     "You see someone just sitting there, looking like they're stupid," explains teenager Manny Logan excitedly. "You just run up to them, slap(掌击) them and run off. It's funny."

    The 16-year-old Logan was describing "happy slapping". It's supposed to be fun but it's a new problem in Britain. Young people will attack passers-by while their friends record the whole thing on camera phones. It was first reported in south London six months ago. But, the practice has spread to other parts of the country and videos of attacks have become popular on the Internet.

    The young people are called "hoodies" because they usually wear a sweatshirt with a hooded top. The top can be used to cover the head or face.

    One study in England published earlier this year suggested that as many as one in four teenagers is an active offender. That includes both serious crimes and small acts like not paying for a bus ticket.

    The fear of youth crime has left some parts of towns empty of ordinary people.

    So, the British government declared war on public disorder last week. The Prime Minister has supported a decision by the country's biggest shopping centre in southeast of England to ban teenagers wearing hooded tops. The clothing helps troublemakers hide from the centre's cameras.

    This week, the government is going further. It plans to force teenage offenders to wear orange jackets while they do public service. The idea is to shame them in front of others.

    But some teenagers and experts have complained that, in their rush to stop the hoodies, politicians risk tarring all teenagers with the same brush.
