步列星至极明

在苏黎士租住的小楼矗立在一个青草坡上，楼前有一条曲折有致的白色石阶。夜凉入水的晚上，喜欢一个人坐在石阶上看星星。
寂静的星空那么美，无数的星星像碎钻一样被撒在天幕里，若隐若现，风吹而不动。仰望着星空，看看这颗星，认认那个星座，想想几千年前人类洪荒时代的地球和几千年后星空下的世界是不是也有一个和现在一样的寂静夜晚，有过什么样的人，什么样的事……那些是我不可望，不可即的，只有一些模糊而美丽的想象。但这却不是星星的时光界限，它们的星光到达我们的眼睛就要几亿，几十亿，几百亿光年，走了那么远的路，路上曾有过什么样人间想象不到的浩瀚风景呢？看着想着，思想渐渐陷入空茫，只有无尽的夜空还在眼前，只有无数颗星星还在闪烁。

日子会轻易流走，星光却不曾改变。
十来岁的时候，晚上回家进楼之前都会仰头看看天上的星星，还记得清冷的空气中，无数美丽的星星在闪耀（星空是一样的星空，心境却大不同了）。那时的自己会仰着头，把快乐或是不快乐默默地告诉天上的星星，相信它们会听到，会为我开心，祝福，和打气。难过了，也会对着星星流眼泪。仰着头望着星星很久的时候，爸爸妈妈看到会说，“还傻站着看什么呢！还不快回家！”他们又哪里知道我和星星之间的小秘密呢？

小秘密就真的成了秘密，久不看星空的自己，早已忘了那时和星星诉说过的小小的悲喜。不知道在遥远的夜空里，曾听到我心声的那些星星们，是不是还保留着十几年前那个小女孩的小小的愿望和心事，也或许，那些比光还传的慢的心声，至今还在去往那一个个遥远星球的路途上？

后来喜欢一首歌，The Unicorn Song

When I was growing up
My best friend was a unicorn,
The others smiled at me and called me crazy.
But I was not upset
By knowing I did not conform,
I always thought their seeing must be hazy.

The unicorn and I would while away the hours,
Playing, dancing, and romancing in the wild flowers.
And we'd sing:
Seeing is believing
In the things you see.
Loving is believing in the ones you love.
Seeing is believing
In the things you see.
Loving is believing in the ones you love.
When I was seventeen
My best friend was the northern star,
The others asked why I was always dreaming.
But I did not reply,
I found my thoughts were very far
Away from daily hurts and fears and scheming.

The northern star and I would share our dreams together,
Laughing, sighing, sometimes crying in all kinds of weather.
And we'd sing:
Seeing is believing
In the things you see.
Loving is believing in the ones you love.
Seeing is believing
In the things you see.
Loving is believing in the ones you love.

And now that I am grown,
My best friend lives inside of me,
The others smile at me and called me crazy.
But I am not upset,
For long ago I found the key,
I always known their seeing must be hazy.

My friend inside and I, we wile away the hours,
Playing, dancing, and romancing in the wild flowers.
And we sing:
Seeing is believing
In the things you see.
Loving is believing in the ones you love.
Seeing is believing
In the things you see.
Loving is believing in the ones you love.
