A Message from Kazuo Ohno on International Dance Day in 1998
1998年國際舞蹈日來自大野一雄的訊息
A Message to the Universe
給宇宙的訊息
On the verge of death one revisits the joyful moments of a lifetime.
One’s eyes are opened wide-gazing into the palm, seeing death, life, joy and sorrow with a sense of tranquility.
This daily studying of the soul, is this the beginning of the journey?
I sit bewildered in the playground of the dead. Here I wish to dance and dance and dance and dance, the life of the wild grass.
I see the wild grass, I am the wild grass, I become one with the universe. That metamorphosis is the cosmology and studying of the soul.
In the abundance of nature I see the foundation of dance. Is this because my soul wants to physically touch the truth?
When my mother was dying I caressed her hair all night long without being able to speak one word of comfort. Afterwards, I realized that I was not taking care of her, but that she was taking care of me.
The palms of my mother’s hands are precious wild grass to me.
I wish to dance the dance of wild grass to the utmost of my heart.
臨近死亡的邊緣,人會重新來到一生中那些喜悅的時刻。
他的眼睛會睜得大大地凝視著掌心,以一種平靜的感受看見死亡、生命、 喜悅、與哀傷。
每天這樣地研讀著靈魂,這是否就是旅程的開始?
我迷惑地坐在死者的遊樂場裡。我渴望能在這裡跳舞、跳舞、跳舞、不停地跳舞,就像野草的生命一樣。
我看見了野草,我就是野草,我與宇宙成為一體的。像這樣徹底的質變即是靈魂的宇宙定律,也是它自身的研習歷程。
在大自然蓬勃豐饒之處,我看到了舞蹈的根基。這是因為我的靈魂想要用這身體確實地碰觸到真理嗎?
在我的母親將要過世時,整個晚上我只能撫摸她的頭髮,一句安慰的話都說不出來。之後我才明白,當時並不是我在照顧她,反而仍是她仍在照顧著我。
對我而言,我母親的手掌心就是珍貴無比的野草。
我渴望能舞出野草之舞,這是我心最大的願望。
