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

(2008-05-13 22:50:11) 下一个



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!!!

胡涣 回复 悄悄话 稍微修改了一下:


海伦凯勒箴言中译,送给地震中伤残的同胞们

海伦∙凯勒(Helen Keller, 1880-1968) 是美国盲聋人作家。她的《假如给我三天光明》是文学史上的著名篇章,给了无数残疾人以生活的勇气。



每件事都是个奇迹,甚至黑暗和寂静。无论我身处何境,我都从中受益,从中得到满足。Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn whatever state I am in, therein to be content

当一扇幸福之门关闭时,另一扇就打开了。但我们的眼光总是停在那扇已经关闭的门,而没有看到这扇打开的。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.

如果世上只有欢乐,我们就永远都学不会勇敢和忍耐。We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.

世界有无数的苦难,但世界也有无数对苦难的征服。Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

自怜是最可怕的敌人。如果我们屈服于它,我们就做不成任何对世界有益的事。Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything good in the world.

性格不是在轻松和平静中塑造出来的。只有通过试炼和苦难,灵魂才能坚强,壮志才能激发,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.

安全感多半是个假象。它在现实生活中不存在。生命要不就是个大胆的冒险,要不就没有生命。Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

很多人对幸福的认识是错误的。取得幸福不是通过不停地满足自己的需要,而是通过对自己所负使命的忠诚。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.

从来没有一个悲观者发现过宇宙的奥秘,航行至未知的土地,或为人类的心灵开辟过一片新的视野。No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.

不要低下头去。昂起头来,直视你面前的世界。Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.
胡涣 回复 悄悄话 这几天读了点海伦凯勒,很有感触。联想到地震中有很多人伤残,也许他们会从她的话中汲取点力量,于是翻出来几句她的话,如果你喜欢的话,请转送伤残的同胞们。

玄米 回复 悄悄话 问安。天灾不可抗,但愿我们活着的人珍惜生命。
惠兰 回复 悄悄话 多谢胡兄的诗,我读了好多遍,谢了。
多谢悉采心妹妹,我们都珍重吧。
悉采心 回复 悄悄话 惠兰,这两天心里一直惦记你,过来看看

见你伤痛之前,仍有仰望,无助之中,仍有依靠,略微心安

愿上帝在我们切切的祷告声中,将幸福平安重新归还给我们的家园……

节哀珍重
胡涣 回复 悄悄话 草就一首悼亡诗,与你分享。愿死者安息,生者更加珍惜生命和爱。


5-12飞逝的灵魂

--谨献给5-12地震亡灵



当时钟嘎然而止
你鲜活的灵魂竟无处容身

你可知
那注视着你的每一双眼睛
是轻启的心门
哽咽的喉咙
是无声的召唤:

飘荡无依的你
请来吧
请在我的玫瑰园
驻足

你的悲伤
是我的悲伤
我的欢笑
将是你的欢笑

不要矜持了
我本无我
这躯壳中所寄
本是许多灵魂的投射
有了你
我会少一分孤独
少一分软弱

飘荡无依的你
来吧
我们一起去远足
去寻找那飞着泪水的欢乐

每个时钟
都会在某个时刻
骤然
或悄然
停止

那无处容身的灵魂
将会在注视着他的
双眼之后的
玫瑰园中
驻足
惠兰 回复 悄悄话 多谢胡兄留言。其时我在北京,当时的情形都是听在四川的家人或朋友们说的,所以没有第一手见闻。不过,那时电话打不通,找不到家里人的滋味的确不好,第一天晚上通宵没睡等家里人平安的消息,第二天知道越来越多的人没了,包括曾经很亲近的朋友等等,心情到现在都很沉重。现在唯一能做的,就是尽自己所能为同胞提供些帮助。人们死得太惨了,特别是无数的孩子们,心痛呵...
胡涣 回复 悄悄话 向你问安!

让我们在灾难中献出爱,让我们在灾难中感受爱!

能给我们写一点第一手的见闻吗?
