通幽之径

主啊, 请给我指条通向宁静的路
那里有仇恨, 我将送去爱情
那里有邪恶
我将送去宽恕的灵魂
那里有噪声, 我将送去和睦
那里有罪恶,我将送去真诚
那里有困惑,我将送去期盼
那里有阴影,我将送去光明
那里有悲哀,我将送去欢乐
主啊, 请允许我追寻
宁愿慰籍而不求慰籍
宁愿理解而不求理解
宁愿爱而不求被爱
只有忘我才能彻悟。
只有宽恕才能被宽恕。
只有死亡才能抵达永生。

A Path to Peace
By: Saint France

Lord, make me the channel of thy peace,
that where there is hatred, I may bring love;
that where there is wrong,
I may bring the spirit of forgiveness;
that where there is discord, I may bring harmony;
that where there is error, I may bring truth;
that where there is doubt, I may bring hope;
that where there is despair, I may bring faith;
that where there are shadows, I may bring light;
that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that I may seek
rather to comfort than to be comforted;
to understand, than to be understood;
to love, than to be loved.
For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.

这是在我最迷惘的时候, 一位西人朋友发到我信箱里的诗歌
第二天, 他送我一盆不知名的草花. 淡淡的蓝色, 毫不张扬的笑着, 陪我渡过了那段日子……
