18. 餓狼與小鳥

我是一隻心靈枯竭的餓狼，對眼前一切景象都視野模糊，對耳邊一切聲響都感到煩厭，只有進食的慾望長期佔據我的思想。　

可是進食過後我卻更加饑餓，一如玩樂過後更感落寞， 熱鬧過後徒添虛空！！

在靈魂死亡的邊緣，心中被冷落已久的快樂小鳥突然發出垂死呼喚，牠為我送來了一曲短歌：

“請憶記起，

你原是隻自由小鳥，

會得歌唱，會得飛翔，

只要你願意觀看，

眼前便是一豁生命湧溢的光影火舞，

只要你願意聆聽，

耳邊就是陣陣星月唱和的宇宙樂聲……

別要忘記，

其實你真正需要的，不過是一點點，

一點兒的陽光，

一點兒的空氣，

一點兒的泥土，

一點兒的平靜，

只是一點點，經已足夠……”

18. The Birdie and the Wolf

I am a hungry wolf dying spiritually, my eyes were so dried up that I could barely see, my mind was so messy that I found any ambient noise utterly irritating; the only thing that kept me going is the desire to eat any minute of the day.

Funny enough, after eating I felt even hungrier then before, after partying so much lonelier,  and after excitements all the more lost!!

On the verge of eventual dying, my long lost friend, the joyful birdie hiding in my heart sent me its last song:

“Try to remember,

You are a free little bird,

You can sing, and you can soar high up above the blue…

If only you are willing to look,

The splendorous dances of life are whirling themselves right before your eyes.

If only you are willing to listen,

All the sun/moon/stars and the tree/flower/grasses are singing together for you!!

Don’t you forget,

What you really need, is just a little,

A little bit of sunshine,

A little bit of rain,

A little bit of wind,

A little bit of silence,

Just a little bit, that’s all you ever need…”
