在選系徬徨的時候讀的書,當時不知怎地深受感動,總覺得最重要的就是死亡了,眼下的選擇倒是遵循自己心意就好。最後任性去了台南,肯定有一大部分是這本書造成的吧。
跟高一的班導說了自己關於這本書的心得以及因這本書而改變的決定,善感的她甚至哭了。現在也快大學畢業了,或許是時候再讀一遍了。

I actively seek out all books about growing old, handling age, preparing for the last journey... I find the most heartfelt writing in those kind of books. Some recently great ones were Gratitude and When Breath Becomes Air. This Chinese book's title is literally translated to, "Who's waiting for you, at that silvery, sparkling place: Reading and Writing in Old Age and Musings." This is a wonderful read about aging and our society's treatment and perceptions of seniors. The wise author is, unbelievably, only in her fifties, and resides in Taiwan.

在往老的方向走去時,讀讀這本書,會看到曾見過的人生百態(尤其是在面對老及病的場景),也會想想自己該如何面對長輩及自己的逐日年長,以及日後總會的死亡課題。
希望能從容面對,但不到那個時候,也沒能知道自己能做到哪裡就是了。
