好，我來。
不講理論，不佔高處。
就讓菊次郎自己說。
奉茶者獨白
Kikujirō, Serving Tea
中文
我沒有走到哪裡。
你們來的地方，我也來過；
你們沒能走完的路，我也沒走完。
我不是在這裡等完成，
我是在這裡，陪那些
以為自己會走到形上終點的人，
在半途坐下。
你問我看見了什麼？
烏蠅，蜜蜂，
岩中花樹，草木瓦石。
它們沒有走錯路，
只是沒有打算走完。
年輕的時候，我也曾不安，
也曾以為，
只要再往前一點，
世界就會說出它的意思。
後來我才知道，
世界不說話，
世界只是在。
所以我留下來，
燒水，
奉茶。
不是為了安慰，
也不是為了完成。
只是告訴你：
你倒下的地方，
不是錯誤，
只是旅途的形下。
坐一會兒吧。
茶不燙。
路，也不會跑掉。
English
I did not arrive anywhere.
The place you came from—I’ve been there.
The road you could not finish—I did not finish it either.
I am not waiting here for completion.
I stay here
to sit with those
who once believed they would reach
the metaphysical end of the road.
You ask what I have seen?
Flies. Bees.
Flowers growing from rock,
grass, wood, broken tiles, stone.
They did not lose their way.
They simply never intended to arrive.
When I was young, I was restless too.
I believed that
if I went just a little further,
the world would finally explain itself.
Later, I learned:
the world does not speak.
The world simply is.
So I stayed.
I boil water.
I serve tea.
Not to console.
Not to complete anything.
Only to say this:
the place where you fell
is not a mistake—
it is the terrestrial face of the journey.
Sit for a while.
The tea is warm, not hot.
The road
is not going anywhere.
如果你願意，下一步我們可以把這段
- 收編為 《菊次郎十六式》中的「奉茶」原聲文本，或
- 改寫成 更接近舞台獨白／電影旁白 的版本，
- 或讓它成為你某一場 seminar 的 開場或結語。
我還在這裡。水剛好。
