我是一个傻头傻脑的中医

/空因

 

 

我是一个傻头傻脑的中医

一天到晚都乐呵呵的

其实我也不知道在乐些什么

我天天纠缠的是   --

阴阳表里,虚实寒热

秋收冬藏,木火土金水

五运六气、天干地支对我也并不陌生

我的眼睛老眯眯

那是因为习惯了看舌和把脉

 

傻眉愣眼的我

手中的工具总那么碌碌无奇

这让我的病人有时有点恼火

他们发烧了,我不给点滴

胃痛,我不给抗生素

肿瘤,我不给化疗

高血压,我也不给他们

一辈子吃药

我用来用去的总是那老掉牙的一套:

针灸、推拿、中药、刮痧、拔罐、艾灸

气功和太极也没少试过

 

除了傻傻的

我的身上还总充满了草药的味儿

气宇轩昂不是我

但海涛不惊可能是我

你看任何病我都来者不拒

就像那些药该升的升该降的降

该归哪条经就归哪条经

我从不问为什么,也从不等闲视之

除了风寒暑湿燥火

我最怕的是七情

 

我天天抱着睡的是《黄帝内经》

而它夜夜耳语的是恬淡虚无就等于精气神

我墙上贴的不是美颜照

而是张仲景、李时珍、葛洪和他的夫人

所有的靓女和帅哥

在我的眼里

都是圆滚滚的气团需要扶正祛邪

 

如果你问我

为啥总是土里土气傻头傻脑

一有机会,就呆呆地盯着自己的鼻子出神?

如果我告诉你我不是在自恋

而是在观心,在听静里乾坤,在思天地宇宙

你是不是会觉得我傻得无可救药?

 

除了傻傻的,很多时候我还怪怪的

病人牙疼的时候我会在他的脚趾头扎上一针

对那个动不动就流泪的人

我叫她多吃大枣,小麦,甘草和仰望星空

道也好,佛也好,儒也好,我都喜欢

无挂无碍,无人无我

不求轰轰烈烈,但求安安心心

 

除了内科,外科和伤科我也照干不误

因为每天总有人跌倒

我的狗皮膏药往往这时派上用场

不过我这辈子做得最多的还是

将那些不小心碰碎了的心一点点缝上

用针、用药,也用我的傻傻的悲天悯怀的微笑

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Geeky TCMP

By Kongyin

 

 

A geeky TCMP,

mirthful I am,

unconcerned why.

Everyday constrained by

yin, yang, heat, cold;

harvesting in autumn, storing in winter;

wood, fire, earth, metal and water,

five movements, six climates,

heavenly stems, earthly branches;

no one being a stranger to me.

My squinting eyes

following tongue reading and pulse taking.

 

Nerdy I am;

so few tools in hand

which annoys my clients -

when having a fever, no IV;

stomach pain, no antibiotics;

tumor, no chemo;

hypertension, no lifelong prescriptions.

I utilize the old ways:

acupuncture, massage, herbs, scraping, cupping, moxibustion;

occasionally including Qigong and Tai Chi.

 

Egg-headed I seem,

perfumed by herbs;

dignified and distinguished-looking I am not

but unruffled I am.

Every symptom I welcome

like herbs each with their specific property;

some rise, some fall

following their intended meridian

I don’t bother to ask why

nor do I regard them lightly.

More than the six evils

I fear the seven emotions.

 

Every night cuddling

the Yellow Emperor's Canon I sleep

as it whispers constantly,  

“unattachment to fame or gain” is synonymous

with essence, energy and spirit.

On my wall no beautified selfies;

rather Zhang Zhongjing, Li Shizhen, Ge Hong and his wife.

All beauties female and male

are but collections of energy

storing more while expelling pathogens.

 

You ask me

why look so rustic and nerdish

staring at my nose-tip when given the opportunity?

I'm not narcissistic;

instead, I am watching my mind, listening to the quiet, and musing on   the cosmos;

does that make me yet geekier?

 

Adding to my usual nerdishness,

I often appear eccentric -

when he has a toothache, in his toe a needle I insert;

for her unearned tears

I suggest eating dates, wheat, licorice herb and glimpsing night-skies.

Tao, Buddha, and Confucius; all my favourites;

wishing for no worries, no ego

no drama, only peace of mind.

 

On top of internal and external medicine,

orthopedics is within my service --

there are always those who fall,

making my humble plasters come in handy.

Mostly I re-sew hearts piece by piece

broken unwittingly;

utilizing needles, herbs, and my unique grin; geeky, and lenient.
