The Music Within
Guidance for Reciting
Life has been a single sail navigating in vast ocean,annotating in tide the true meaning of life.
Life…What is it?
See it in the colors of autumn,
A gentle snowfall in winter,
A sudden shower in spring,
The radiance of a summer day.
Behold it in the laughter of the young and the old.
Know of it in a surge of hope,
The blessings that are bountiful.
What is life?
It is joy,awareness,
And the music within.

诵读导言
生命是浩瀚大海中航行的一叶扁舟,在潮起潮落中,诠释了生命的真谛。
生命是什么?
它浸染在五彩缤纷的秋色里,
飘融在轻柔无语的冬雪中,
在阵阵春雨里,
在绚丽夏日中。
它包含在老人爽朗的笑声里,
也隐匿在孩子们的嬉戏中。
它汹涌在人们的希望里,
它荡漾在美好的祝福中,
生命是什么?
是欢乐,是领悟,
是心灵深处的音乐。
