Questions I Am
Living With

我正在与之生活的问题

A question changes when it is lived with. This space records movement—not toward a final answer, but toward a more exact position.当一个问题被真正生活过,它也会发生变化。这里记录的不是通往最终答案的过程,而是一个位置如何变得更准确。

01Held open
保持开放

How much of a life should be chosen, and how much should be allowed to arrive?

生活中有多少应由自己选择,又有多少应允许它自然到来?

I notice

Structure can make attention possible. It can also prevent the unplanned from being recognised.

结构可以让注意成为可能,也可能让未经计划之物难以被看见。

I am still learning

I do not yet know where intention ends and control begins.

我仍不知道,有意识的选择从哪里开始变成了控制。

02Held open
保持开放

Can ambition remain exact without making life narrow?

野心可否保持准确,却不让生活变得狭窄?

I notice

Ambition becomes clearer when it names a quality of practice, not only an outcome.

当野心指向一种实践的质量,而不只是一项结果时,它会变得更清楚。

I am still learning

I am still learning which forms of difficulty enlarge a life, and which merely consume it.

我仍在学习辨认:哪些困难扩展了生活,哪些只是消耗它。

03Held open
保持开放

What deserves to be preserved, and what asks to be released?

什么值得被保存,什么又正在请求被放下?

I notice

Keeping and releasing are both forms of editing; neither is automatically an act of loyalty.

保留与放下都是编辑的方式;两者都不天然等同于忠诚。

I am still learning

The difficult part is recognising whether something is still alive or only familiar.

困难之处,在于辨认一件事仍然鲜活,还是仅仅令人熟悉。
