石头

圣诞节后的某一天去Laguna Beach玩,海滩上捡到这块石头。石头大致是扁的,但可以立起来。正面生十窍,有一窍贯通至背面;背面比较平坦,只有两三个小孔,大约是在沙滩上向下的一面。洗干净后放在了阳台的木栏杆上,夕阳下有些古意了。

贴一段《聊斋志异》的《石清虚》:

邢云飞,顺天人。好石,见佳不惜重直。偶渔于河,有物挂网,沉而取之,则石径尺,四面玲珑,峰峦叠秀。喜极如获异珍。既归,雕紫檀为座,供诸案头。每值天欲雨,则孔孔生云,遥望如塞新絮。

……一日有老叟款门而请,邢托言石失已久。叟笑曰:“客舍非耶?”邢便请入舍以实其无,及入,则石果陈几上。愕不能言。叟抚石曰:“此吾家故物,失去已久,今固在此耶。既见之,请即赐还。”邢窘甚,遂与争作石主。叟笑曰:“既汝家物,有何验证?”邢不能答。叟曰:“仆则故识之。前后九十二窍,孔中五字云:‘清虚天石供。’”邢审视,孔中果有小字,细如粟米,竭目力才可辨认;又数其窍,果如所言。邢无以对,但执不与。……

什么是宝贝原本就是因人而定的。说不定那一天,也有人上你的门认宝呢。

对,不过如果这是真的,按照《石清虚》的理论,我只能活到十岁 ;-)

Laguna beach...

The stone looks like it belongs to lakes or river, instead of sea, you have found something special and interesting. My father would have loved it.

I didn't spend very long time browsing the beach that day -- I'm sure there are even better pieces -- I will definitely get a good one for your father! I can imagine what it looks like with a touch of moss.
