【地震】a thank you note to all my friends!

(2008-05-13 22:50:11) 下一個



I am very touched for all friends in China and other countries who have tired very hard contacting with me these a few days. Thank god that all of my family members who live in different cities in Sichuan are alive. But some of my friends,relatives, and many people in Sichuan are already dead from the earthquake. I feel terrible for what just has happened. I will keep praying for my homeland and give as much help as I can with their needs.

May god bless all people in Sichuan and all people over the world, Amen!!!

胡渙 回複 悄悄話 稍微修改了一下:


海倫凱勒箴言中譯,送給地震中傷殘的同胞們

海倫∙凱勒(Helen Keller, 1880-1968) 是美國盲聾人作家。她的《假如給我三天光明》是文學史上的著名篇章,給了無數殘疾人以生活的勇氣。



每件事都是個奇跡,甚至黑暗和寂靜。無論我身處何境,我都從中受益,從中得到滿足。Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn whatever state I am in, therein to be content

當一扇幸福之門關閉時,另一扇就打開了。但我們的眼光總是停在那扇已經關閉的門,而沒有看到這扇打開的。When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

如果世上隻有歡樂,我們就永遠都學不會勇敢和忍耐。We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.

世界有無數的苦難,但世界也有無數對苦難的征服。Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

自憐是最可怕的敵人。如果我們屈服於它,我們就做不成任何對世界有益的事。Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything good in the world.

性格不是在輕鬆和平靜中塑造出來的。隻有通過試煉和苦難,靈魂才能堅強,壯誌才能激發,才能取得成功。Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

安全感多半是個假象。它在現實生活中不存在。生命要不就是個大膽的冒險,要不就沒有生命。Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

很多人對幸福的認識是錯誤的。取得幸福不是通過不停地滿足自己的需要,而是通過對自己所負使命的忠誠。Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

從來沒有一個悲觀者發現過宇宙的奧秘,航行至未知的土地,或為人類的心靈開辟過一片新的視野。No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.

不要低下頭去。昂起頭來,直視你麵前的世界。Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.
胡渙 回複 悄悄話 這幾天讀了點海倫凱勒,很有感觸。聯想到地震中有很多人傷殘,也許他們會從她的話中汲取點力量,於是翻出來幾句她的話,如果你喜歡的話,請轉送傷殘的同胞們。

玄米 回複 悄悄話 問安。天災不可抗,但願我們活著的人珍惜生命。
惠蘭 回複 悄悄話 多謝胡兄的詩,我讀了好多遍,謝了。
多謝悉采心妹妹,我們都珍重吧。
悉采心 回複 悄悄話 惠蘭,這兩天心裏一直惦記你,過來看看

見你傷痛之前,仍有仰望,無助之中,仍有依靠,略微心安

願上帝在我們切切的禱告聲中,將幸福平安重新歸還給我們的家園……

節哀珍重
胡渙 回複 悄悄話 草就一首悼亡詩,與你分享。願死者安息,生者更加珍惜生命和愛。


5-12飛逝的靈魂

--謹獻給5-12地震亡靈



當時鍾嘎然而止
你鮮活的靈魂竟無處容身

你可知
那注視著你的每一雙眼睛
是輕啟的心門
哽咽的喉嚨
是無聲的召喚:

飄蕩無依的你
請來吧
請在我的玫瑰園
駐足

你的悲傷
是我的悲傷
我的歡笑
將是你的歡笑

不要矜持了
我本無我
這軀殼中所寄
本是許多靈魂的投射
有了你
我會少一分孤獨
少一分軟弱

飄蕩無依的你
來吧
我們一起去遠足
去尋找那飛著淚水的歡樂

每個時鍾
都會在某個時刻
驟然
或悄然
停止

那無處容身的靈魂
將會在注視著他的
雙眼之後的
玫瑰園中
駐足
惠蘭 回複 悄悄話 多謝胡兄留言。其時我在北京,當時的情形都是聽在四川的家人或朋友們說的,所以沒有第一手見聞。不過,那時電話打不通,找不到家裏人的滋味的確不好,第一天晚上通宵沒睡等家裏人平安的消息,第二天知道越來越多的人沒了,包括曾經很親近的朋友等等,心情到現在都很沉重。現在唯一能做的,就是盡自己所能為同胞提供些幫助。人們死得太慘了,特別是無數的孩子們,心痛嗬...
胡渙 回複 悄悄話 向你問安!

讓我們在災難中獻出愛,讓我們在災難中感受愛!

能給我們寫一點第一手的見聞嗎?
