You jump I jump

 You jump, I jump.

一對石頭在跳下後的途中對話：

啊.. 是誰喊'你跳我也跳'的？

你咯！

我亂喊而已，你竟真的跳？

你叫我跳，我就跳咯。那你為什麼也跳？

我的話已說出口，所以你跳我也得跳呀！

"You jump, I jump."

The conversations of a pair of Rocks when they are jumping down:

"Ahh... Who yelled 'you jump, I jump'?"

"You!"

"I just said it without any purpose, why did you really jump down?"

"You told me to jump, so I jumped. But, why did you jump also?"

"I already said you jump, I jump, that's why I needed to jump, too."

Naked beauty

赤裸裸的美

樹

越冷穿得越少

婀娜多枝

豪放在冬天

Naked beauty

Tree likes unwinding during winter times

 

Sea disagreed

續 Continued..

錯！

海不認同岩石的說法：不是啦，我那有温柔，那有耐心，慢慢的跟你們磨！是你們阻礙了我的去路，我只好繞來繞去。你是圓是扁，關我屁事！

岩石反駁：不是你，會是誰？

海想了想：可能是時間。

時間即刻回應：是嗎？我什麼都不會，除了有大把的時間。

"Wrong!"

Sea disagreed with Rock: "Not true, I don't think I am soft and patient enough to train you! It is because you guys disturb me on my way, so I need to turn around to go on. I don't care if you are more gentle or whatever, it's not my business!"

Rock disagreed: "If not you, then who is?"

Sea thinks awhile: "Maybe Time."

Time responds immediately: "Are you sure? I don't have any skills, besides time."

 

Sea is the softest teacher

小石不解的問岩石：你很殘忍呀，為什麼你把我推下海？

岩石說：你太尖銳了，只有温柔的海才有耐心的磨練磨練你，把你鋒利傷人的性格磨練得圓滑一些。

Pebble asks Rock curiously: "You are mean to me, why did you push me into the sea?"

Rock says: "You are too sharp and sometimes hurt others. Sea is the softest teacher who can train you patiently, so that you will become more gentle one day."

 

Air is a VVIP

空氣很懊腦：為什麼人們都這麼怕我，戴着口罩？我做錯了什麼嗎？

陽光說：這不是你的錯，只是病菌在利用你行凶，散播病毒。

那我能做什麼？

清者自清，你還是世界上的VVlP，没有你，他們是無法活下去的，他們只能做好防護措施。希望病菌盡快消失，恢復常態。

Air is annoyed: "Why does everyone feel so afraid of me, and put on masks? Did I do something wrong?"

Sunshine says: "This is not your fault. It's because Virus is using you to spread illness."

"Then what can I do?"

"You are all good, you are still a VVIP in the world. They cannot live without you, they need to do whatever to protect themselves. Hope that the Virus is gone asap, and everything returns to normal again."

 

Reflections and perspectives

陽光好奇的問雲：怎麽昨天很像老者，今天又像小孩，有時你很像天使，有時又像惡魔？

雲說：你所看到的這些，只能說那都是你自己的投射及觀念。我還是我。

Sunshine asks Cloud curiously: Why did you look like an old guy yesterday, but you look like a kid today? Sometimes you look like an angel, and sometimes you look like a devil?

Cloud says: Those forms you see are all reflections and perspectives from yourself. I am still just me.

 

Glacier loves Snow

續 Continued..

Let it go, let it go...

雪很傷心，離開時還聽草在哼着：走吧，走吧…

這時，雪才猛然覺知什麼是愛。唯有冰川才是深愛雪的，總把雪珍惜在心里。

Snow was so sad to leave, and could even hear Grass humming let it go, let it go...

At this moment, what Snow realizes about love is that Glacier is the only one who loves Snow so much, always keeping Snow in its heart.

* Glacier's picture taken in Iceland 2016

 

Snow's blanket

昨晚，草問雪：你不覺得冷嗎？

雪即刻說：我不覺得冷哦。不過，我就是知道你很冷，所以我特來給你蓋上被。

草冷得發抖：雪中送被？滾！我已活得很艱苦了，你給我滾得越遠越好，最好滾到天邊去。滾！

Last night, Grass asked Snow: Don't you feel cold?

Snow replied immediately: I never feel cold. However, I know you are cold, that's why I cover you the blanket.

Grass was shaking: Snow's blanket? Go! My life is so tough now, you better go away as far as sky is. Go! Go! Go!

 

Magic Mirror 魔鏡

不管是春夏還是秋冬，常常，樹都會問：魔鏡呀魔鏡，誰是天下最美的樹？
Whether it is during spring, summer, fall or winter, Tree often asks: Magic Mirror, who is the fairest Tree of all in the world?

你是愛美愛到瘋了嗎？我是湖，我是湖啦！魔鏡？什麼魔鏡？天下那有什麼魔鏡？你真是瘋了！
You must be crazy? I am Lake, I am Lake! Magic Mirror? What is Magic Mirror? Where can you find a Magic Mirror in the world? You are crazy!

 

湖隨雨起起落落

續..

風走後，湖沉靜在思想着風說的話。
突然聽到急促的敲門聲，湖開門一看，原來是雨，湖問：有什麼事呀？
雨没有直接回應，却嘘哩嘩啦的一大堆，時而抱怨，時而低吟，時而高歌，時而哭泣。
湖除了隨雨起起落落，也不知道能做些什麼。
不知過了多久，却靜下來了。
湖才察覺，雨走了。

 

好好做自己

湖享受着陽光，很平靜，覺得這是'真我'。

突然狂風掃過，湖說：你怎會常常這麽煩，不好好做自己？你知道什麼是'真我'嗎？

風又狂呼一聲，吹皺湖的平靜，現起陣陣漣漪。
風回頭說：我一直好好在做自己啊！

 

雲是藝術家

没上過學校
也没讀過書
不須上網課
也不須學位文憑
無師自通
雲是天下聞名的藝術家

 

巨大的影子拖着身體

懶洋洋慢活過日子
巨大的影子
繪聲繪影
不斷拖着身體前進
感覺日子
還是一樣過得非常快啊

 

樹很孤獨

没有葉的日子
樹很孤獨
雪、雨時不時冷言冷語潑冷水
太陽、月亮卻常常來關懷安慰
唯有土地默默陪伴
就這樣一年又一年
樹咬緊牙根堅持活下去

 

何苦爭論

即使有在大的心湖，也無法反照全部的實况，除非有他心通。
任何領袖當免不了被人批判，除非是聖者。
有些美國人在爭議各自支持的領袖，尚情有可原，除非是袖手旁觀者。
有些馬來西亞人在爭論那位才是美國的好領袖，相互惡語對罵… 把自己捲進旋渦，何苦呢？
有意見觀點提出來當然很好，被不被接受，又有何妨？

除非地球會因此而停轉。

 

Earth's new cloth 地的新衣

Everyone heard that.. 聽說…
Tree is the one who designed the Emperor's new clothes...
樹就是為國王製造新衣的設計師…

地也很嚮往有一件與眾不同的新衣已久…
所以地向樹訂製了一件…
Earth also admired and wanted a special cloth for a while..
So Earth ordered Tree to make one..

樹花了很長時間才製好這特別的葉衣裳..
Finally, Tree spent many days and came out a cloth with leaves pattern...

當陽光幫地穿上新衣後…
After Sunshine helped Earth put on the new cloth..
Earth is so proud to show off to everyone...
地驕傲的遊街示眾…

Who dares to say the cloth isn't pretty?
誰敢說地的新衣不好看呀？

同樣下場

花凋了
葉落了
不管有多美
還不是都一樣
也遭同樣的下場

 

總有一天等到你

葉請求風：請你動手晚一點。
風不屑狂吼：樹都不挽留你，你還是走吧，走吧。
地望着樹：你也别神氣，我總有一天等到你。

 

問誰啊？

一覺醒來…
樹不禁驚叫：是誰把我的葉染成黄色了，是誰啊？

問陽光，陽光理也不理。
問雲，雲聳聳肩。
問風，風呼呼聲：你去Google查查看。
問雨，雨唏哩嘩啦：你問Alexa找答案。

樹又氣又急…
把葉染成黄色…那可不是時髦愛漂亮的玩意，不久葉一一脱落，那就要成光頭了！

夏水仙

昨日媚麗喜迎展
今朝陣雨暴摧殘

命運寫照

停止轉貼仇恨的社論

坐在摇椅，向窗外看，我看到的只是花花綠綠..

這疫情期，在看FB社論，有者積極協助提供物資給需要的人；有者籌款或捐款；有者激勵人心共度時艱，那是感動滿滿。

可是若看到有者還糾結病毒是那國放的或開始的；有者糾結中共沒人權；有者糾結美國怎會有個瘋狂的總統；有者(有些美國人)抗議認為被控制失去自由，等等，那是加重負向情緒。

某位朋友在檳城算是出名的人，她在FB轉貼關於美國須為疫情道歉.. 我comment: 我們必須停止轉貼這些有仇恨的，因為他們引更多人更增多仇恨…
結果她unfriend我了。

還是坐在我的摇椅上，曬曬陽光，看看花好。

 

我有在

 

吠聲嚮起，把我的注意轉移，那是隔壁家的狗在吠。
我問狗：你為什麼要吠啊？
狗說：吠是要讓過路人知道我有在咯。
有在？
狗又說：就像你貼文，不是一樣讓人知道你有在！路過的人，有些會看你幾眼，然後批頭評足，可愛哦、讚啊、感動、好笑.. 有些暗地心裡駡，難看、無聊啦.. 有些看都不看你。

哎喲，原來貼文是… 我有在！
