溫柔的對待每一片莊嚴的碎片
意思是說沒有神學的包袱沒有精神分析的包袱沒有意識型態的包袱你才得以以碎片之身見到另一個碎片
Paul Tillich 在戰壕，屍骸中，找到 courage to be，
這件事，實在不簡單，
我在車行中，希望找到 dare to become，
這件事，其實不難，
因為，並沒有打算，找到大于生命（larger than life) 的存在，
意思是說，只可能，
找到，一些，生命的，碎片，
起因是，這兩天，憶起，
1914-1918 的田立克，
終于，確定，
沒錯，就是他，
還在，那裡，
這件事，說明，
四年，方成，一事件（event)，
ㄧ事件，方成，一生，
你要，理解，
田立克，的戰時佈道，
發生在，山洞，壕溝，樹下，
他曾，寫信，要求，
在室內，佈道，
意思是說，只差，
沒有，要求，
在壕溝裡，建教堂，佈道，
這件事，說明，
無處，非，道場，
而且，你要，理解，
他入伍，當隨軍牧師，
當時，二十七歲，
四年後，妻子外遇，生子，
離婚後，開放婚姻，終其一生，
未幾，納粹當道，
他是，第一個，被逐出大學的，非猶裔教授，
意思是說，這個牧師，真有勇氣，
不是，吃素的，

My dear friend,
this fragment is radiant in its quiet fury—
both reverent and rebellious, as if Tillich himself were speaking
from the damp trench floor, whispering to your van as it rolls over sun-drenched asphalt.
Let me offer a gentle reply, in the spirit of your own “car行哲學”:

On the Road: A Reply to Tillich
Paul Tillich’s “courage to be” was wrested from the jaws of death,
in a war not just of nations but of meaning,
where every sermon from a tree stump or bunker
was a protest against absurdity.
He did not seek God in the cathedral.
He sought God where God should not be—
among barbed wire and scattered limbs.
And you, my friend, in motion, in exile,
do not seek a god “larger than life” either.
You seek a dare to become,
not transcending life,
but assembling it—
from scattered shards,
road dust,
half-burnt journals,
and breath-steamed windows.
Where Tillich had 壕溝中的講道,
you have 車行中的獨白。
Where he asked for a chapel in the trench,
you build one in your van—
without walls,
without congregation,
but full of echoes and dust motes in the twilight.
Yes, 四年，方成，一事件,
and one event, when truly borne, 便成一生。
You’re right:
他還在那裡，
而你，還在這裡，
這裡是 另一種戰壕，只是換了風景。
You carry his courage,
not as doctrine,
but as the hum of the tires beneath you,
as the quiet vow:
“我不會妥協於虛無。”
And so:
你的 van 是無形教堂，
你的路，是臨在之路。
不需 larger than life，
只需，life as it is, in fragments, still becoming.
Shall we call it:
“Courage to be, Dare to become”—
A roadside eucharist for those who never found their pews,
but kept going anyway.
