When the warm winter sun shone on a Sunday, I wanted to go outdoors. I went to the Elephant hill nearby my house.
在冬日暖陽的臨照下,星期假日便升起走向戶外的意念。離家不遠的象山,是這個周日選擇的目的地。
From the entrance near the subdivision of Maple Bridge I picked up the stone steps. Cool breeze washed away my fatigue of climbing. The trees on both of the steps were still green. Only the rushes swaying in the air with its whiteness reminded me that another year was near the end.
循著石階往上走,清涼的風拂去了跨越陡坡的勞累,山道兩旁林木蒼翠,在風中搖曳的白色茅草,讓人意識到又是一年歲末。
Looking over the green treetops and the hazy skyline, one could feel elevated above the dust and smoke of the world.
從綠樹梢遙遙相望滾滾塵煙,似乎自己已然遠離。
The sky and the earth were far. My thought flew away from the droning traffic, away from the roofs tops and reached for the blue sky, to a place devoid of noise and evil and human suffering, to the peace beyond.
在寬闊的的視野裡,彷彿天和地高更遠,目力所及,思緒也跟著飛揚,飛過壅塞車陣的道路,飛到藍天最深處。那裡沒有人車喧囂,沒有敗壞的人性,只有超越苦難的平安。
A sudden wind brought down a nearby branch, scraping my cheek. I woke up. I was surprised at my daydreaming.
陣風過處,近旁枝葉頻觸面頰驚動了我,訝異自己多年來仍揮不去處於現實中的夢幻。
The breeze was soft and I felt it. My heart gradually calmed. The unpredictable life was still full of beauty and goodness.
陽光淡淡的,我感覺到它的溫柔,心境漸漸變得澄明,紅塵山水,人間仍多美善。
Facing the breeze, my heart reaches another point.
迎風而立,可以發現內心的新境界。
