神修拾穗 Reflections:
「大直若屈，大巧若拙，大辯若訥。」我在四旬齋期間反思老子的這句話，被它與耶穌在彼拉多面前的處境的相似之處所觸動。作為神聖的道的化身，耶穌在那一刻卻無言。作為正義的至高裁判者，祂無力對抗祂的批評者。作為美德的典範，祂被判定為罪犯。在那個肅穆的聖週五受難清晨，唯有透過書法的筆觸，我才能表達出對於祂被釘十字架那淵深的不協調之處。
“The most perfect straightness seems crooked; the most brilliant skill seems clumsy, and the most eloquent speech seems stuttering.” Reflecting upon Laozi’s words during Lent, I was struck by their resonance with Jesus’ predicament before Pontius Pilate. The embodiment of divine logos, paradoxically, found Himself without words. The sovereign arbiter of justice stood defenseless against His detractors. The paragon of virtue was judged a malefactor. On that solemn Good Friday morning, only through the strokes of calligraphy could I articulate the profound dissonance of the crucifixion.
