What to Remember When Waking
by David Whyte
In that first
hardly noticed
moment
in which you wake,
coming back
to this life
from the other more secret,
moveable
and fighteningly
honest world
where everything
began,
there is a small
opening
into the day
which closes
the moment
you begin
your plans
夢醒時分
(夢的世界真實又誠懇甚至有一點嚇人)
有那麼一刻
一切混沌不明
充滿了可能性
What you can plan
is too small
for you to live.
任何計畫都是有範疇的
但是生命是不能設限的
What you can live
wholeheartedly
will make plans
enough
for the vitality
hidden in your sleep.
睡著的時候是不是比醒著的時候更有能量?
睡夢中的能量可以成為現實人生的活力嗎?
To be human
is to become visible
while carrying
what is hidden
as a gift to others.
我們要把深藏在裡面的天賦
貢獻出來
如此才能真正現身世上
To remember
the other world
in this world
is to live in your
true inheritance.
睡著 醒著
前世 今生
這輩子要做什麼功課?
You are not
a troubled guest
on this earth,
you are not
an accident
amidst other accidents
you were invited
from another and greater
night
than the one
from which
you have just emerged.
如果我們不是過客
也不是意外
是不是每個人都有與生俱來的
生存的意義
Now, looking through
the slanting light
of the morning
window toward
the mountain
presence
of everything
that can be,
what urgency
calls you to your
one love? What shape
waits in the seed
of you to grow
and spread
its branches
against a future sky?
在晨光中
看蘊藏無限可能的山
看蘊藏發芽能量的種籽
我們會以什麼樣的姿態伸向天空?
Is it waiting
in the fertile sea?
In the trees
beyond the house?
In the life
you can imagine
for yourself?
In the open
and lovely
white page
on the waiting desk?
未來的海洋 天際 生活 白紙
有什麼在等著你?
