老人要能「捨」

可能重複,表示或有老年智能衰退

電子郵件提供你簽名以自動張貼你選的格言----這,我通常半年或一年換一次。前天匆匆回信給 William Scherkenbach,忘記將王鼎鈞的這句刪掉:
......但願能做個「不太壞」的老頭兒。......老人要能「捨」,能像佛家那樣,歡歡喜喜的捨,該捨就捨,包括生命。......
Bill略通中文,馬上來信說: 漢清, 你是不是老了!
我只能這樣打圓場:是,我們過60,又滿頭白髮,必須說:我老了。

.......1988年移居美國北加州萬佛城,於法界佛教大學擔任書法教授,退休後定居舊金山。呂媞北碑功力深浩,另外取法李北海和米南宮,諸體皆工,尤擅行草。她的作品豪情真在,卓然挺立,亦剛亦俠亦溫柔。去年硅谷亞洲藝術中心主辦舊金山灣區華人耆老書畫展,名「千壽」,呂老在開幕儀式上說有一言相送大家:「萬般皆下品,唯有健康高」。此一「健」字,也是呂老書法藝術的精髓。
