流浪者之歌

發表於 由Ran撰寫

Siddhartha

潺潺流水吐露宇宙萬物的真理
擺渡人傾聽藏在水波裡的永恆

行千里　始得頓悟

覺醒之人
曾為涅槃而沉淪
為求超脫而入世

如今紅塵褪去
人間之慾沒入

心如明鏡
光影潛行

掙脫時空藩籬返璞歸真
在虛實之間永恆歸於心

流水仍然
人已重生

The murmuring stream unveils the truths of the cosmos,
The ferryman listens to the eternal hidden in the ripples.

A thousand miles traveled, enlightenment found.

The awakened one,
Once submerged for Nirvana,
Entered the world for transcendence.

Now, worldly dust fades away,
Human desires dissipate.

The heart, a clear mirror,
Light and shadow coexist.

Breaking free from the barriers of time and space, returning to simplicity and truth.
Amidst the realms of illusion and reality, Eternity finds its abode in the heart.

The stream still flows,
But the person is reborn.

流浪者之歌／赫曼．赫塞

夜

發表於 由Ran撰寫

Night

列車如載運牲畜般
無知的群眾是獲物
困惑　恐懼　疲憊
車廂壁黏附著驚惶

目的地戰線後方
沿途目睹的人們
在惡魔降臨前
仍苟且偷安

藍夜裡的縷縷黑煙
是上帝默許的真意

知其一不知其二
別再愚昧探問

貪婪與姑息的必然
歷史烙痕如何抹滅
虛構正義撫慰生靈

歎

In trains, akin to cattle’s plight,
The ignorant masses, prey in flight. Confusion, fear, and weariness,
Carriage walls echo their distress.

Destination: lines of war’s rear,
Witnessed along the journey’s sphere, Before the demons take their stand,
They cling to comfort in the land.

Threads of black smoke in the blue of night,
Are God’s silent consent, in sight.

Knowing one, yet not the other,
Ignorance, no longer bother.

Inevitable, greed and appease,
How history’s scars may seek release. Fabricated justice, souls to ease.

Sigh.

無聖

Beyond Sanctity

練習將成見細分至無法一概而論的程度，深入且廣泛吸納各方見地，足以進入客觀而複雜的思辨，是非黑白的二元論再不具說服力。歷史洪流故我漫漫——揭露自詡品格清高者的面目，公平正義包裝下的權慾怵目驚心。

Practicing the breakdown of prejudices to an extent where they cannot be generalized, deeply and widely absorbing various perspectives, is enough to enter into objective and complex contemplation, where the dichotomy of right and wrong loses its persuasiveness. The torrent of history slowly reveals the true faces of those who claim moral superiority, with the disturbing reality hidden beneath the facade of fairness and justice.

探聽幸福——關於阿嬤的小故事10

發表於 由Ran撰寫

去年的農曆初二，兩個總是帶頭的姑姑提議不要再讓阿嬤辛苦準備一桌菜，帶阿嬤去外頭餐廳吃飯。提了很多次了，這次阿嬤總算答應，但看到餐廳的位置後，我、先生和姊姊心裡都一沉。

Last year, on the second day of the lunar calendar, two of my proactive aunts suggested not letting Grandma prepare a table full of dishes, opting instead to take her out to a restaurant. We had discussed this many times before, and this time Grandma finally agreed. But upon seeing the location of the restaurant, my husband, sister, and I felt a sinking feeling.

有意識

發表於 由Ran撰寫

大家是什麼時候意識到自己以前都沒有意識地活著？我覺得這種感受是漸進式地，每次遇到相關的事情才會「意識到」原來我以前都不曾意識到的事情。事情可能類型不同，但都是圍繞著一個課題——「不足」。

When did everyone realize that they had been living without consciousness before? I feel that this realization is gradual, occurring each time something relevant happens, making one “conscious" of things overlooked in the past. The types of incidents may vary, but they all revolve around a common theme – “insufficiency."
