桃園高中 阿得老師
上學期招募高一家長成長團體,想用老歌結合敘事觀點來帶,團體方案也費力地設計好了,結果竟是不足額沒辦成!(我不是名師+宣傳不夠......)失望之餘,反倒是有北市兩個學校來邀約,提供十次聚會給我帶,一個是讀書會,一個是小團體,雖然最後考量我的時間、距離,都婉拒了,但想想,老歌的韻味歷久彌新,沒有圖利到自己的家長,實在太可惜了!下學期再來試試。
心目中還有幾首老歌,也很適合帶入父母親成長團體或中年讀書會,就一併蒐集到這兒UDN的部落家,儲備精神糧食,也算是繼續跟大家分享好歌囉!
在父母的心目中,孩子永遠就是孩子,長不大的,傳統的父母何時才會「被迫」放手呢?高中?大學?我想都不是,最合理的時間點,大概就是孩子結婚的時刻吧!
結婚了,感覺才是真正的長大,自己要能獨立做主,獨當一面,不然怎麼孕育下一代呢!婚禮,也就成了另一種的成年禮,當父母牽起孩子的手,交給另一個「牽手」,不捨與期盼,開心與矛盾,那都是一輩子的情繫和牽掛啊!
用一首歌來詮釋這種心情,我選老電影「屋頂上的提琴手」(The Fiddler on The Roof)的歌,音樂劇的歌總是特別好聽、耐聽!詮釋父母的「放手」,最是鞭辟入裡,父母輪流傾訴,句句屬實,卻也句句含情,恰似日升和日落,自自然然,但,那個父母能違反自然、不放手呢?
Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don’t remember growing older, when did they?
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn’t it yesterday when they were small?
Sunrise, Sunset, Sunrise, Sunset,
Seedlings turn over night to sunflowers,
Blossoming even as we gaze.
※Sunrise, Sunset, Sunrise, Sunset,
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears.※
What’s words of wisdom can I give them,
How can I help to ease their way?
Now they must learn from one another day by day.
They look so natural together,
Just like two newly weds should be,
Is there a canopy in store for me?
