A Quiet Life
When my twins turned two years old, I gradually recovered from the backache and took them to the field. We picked up the leaves, observed the insects and enjoyed the breeze.
Often, I got overwhelmed whenever the twins cried, and so I began taking photos of them whenever they burst out into tears.
A quiet life was not quiet as it supposed to be. I pretended to be calm, but there were ripples in my mind. It was an uncanny blend of the real and the imagined.
靜靜的生活
孩子脫離嬰兒期,媽媽也漸漸從終日腰痛的桎梏中解脫,開始與保母帶著雙胞胎外出闖蕩,在自然中徜徉,撿拾葉子、觀察昆蟲、感受微風…。慢慢的,媽媽從兩年睡不飽的疲累中恢復,從聽到嬰兒哭聲就頭皮發麻的不知所措,轉變成孩子一哭便先拿相機拍照的淡定。媽媽的心境表面上看似平靜,卻是綿裡藏針,不見一般親子照的溫馨滿溢,而是謎樣的人像與風景,靜謐中帶著些微的騷動。
