第24章 清晨最美好的愿望A Morning Wish

朝阳在新的一天冉冉升起。我期望这—天带给我什么呢?希望不是任何让世界或他人更贫穷的东西,不是任何损害别人的东西,而是那些到来、经过或者聚集力量时,不会阻止我前进并且能触动我心灵的东西。我盼望这一天会带来一些知心的朋友,希望我们的友谊天长地久;我也希望这一天能够给我带来一份真正有价值的工作。我盼望这一天会带给我无畏远行的胸怀,纵然旅途中没有光明在闪耀;我还盼望这一天会带给我善解人意之心。我盼望这一天会让我看到永久屹立的山冈,看到一望无际的蓝色海洋,看到人类的双手创造出的美丽事物。佚名/Anonymous我盼望这—天会带给我幽默感、笑的力量和无事可做的短暂悠闲。这天早上,我渴望短暂宁静的冥想。

The sun is just rising in the morning of another day.What can I wish that this day may bring me?Nothing that shall make the world or others poorer,nothing at the expense of other men;but just those few things which in their coming do not stop me but touch me rather,as they pass and gather strength.I wish that this day could bring me a few friends,who understand me,and yet remain my friends;I also wish that this day could bring me a work to do which has real value.I wish that this day could bring me a mind unafraid to travel,even though the trail be not blazed,and I wish that this day could bring me an understanding heart.I wish that this day could bring me a sight of the eternal hills,and the blue sea stretching to the horizon,and of something beautiful which the hands of men have made.I wish that this day could bring me a sense of humor,and the power to laugh,a little leisure with nothing to do.And I crave for a few moments of quiet,silent meditation in the morning of this day.
