ECSTASY FOR EMPTINESS


"The man hunched over his motorcycle can focus only on the present instant of his flight; he is caught in a fragment of time cut off from both the past and the future; he is wrenched from the continuity of time . . . in other words, he is in a state of ecstasy; in that state he is unaware of his age, his wife, his children, his worries, and so he has no fear, because the source of fear is in the future, and a person freed of the future has nothing to fear."

「俯身在摩托車上的人,他的心神只能專注於飛行當下的那一秒鐘;他緊扣著這個瞬間,割離過去,也割離未來;他從時間的連續性之中抽離出來;他在時間之外;換句話說,他處於狂迷的狀態;在這個狀態下,他完全忘了他的年紀,忘了他的妻子,忘了他的孩子,忘了他的煩憂,所以,他不會恐懼,因為恐懼的源頭在未來,一個擺脫未來束縛的人,根本沒什麼好怕的。」
