關於孩子
一位懷抱嬰兒的婦女說：「請為我們講講孩子吧。」
他說道： 你們的孩子並不是你們的孩子。
他們是對生命本身有所渴求的子女。
他們經你們而來，卻非出自於你們。
儘管他們跟你們在一起，但並不屬於你們。
你可以給他們的，是你的愛而非想法， 因為他們有自己的想法。
你們可以建房給他們的身體居住，但無法讓他們的靈魂居住在裡面，
因為他們的靈魂，住在明日之屋中，甚至在夢中，你們也無法探訪。
你們可以努力效仿他們，卻不可試圖讓他們像你們一樣。
因為生命無法倒退，也不會逗留於昨日
如果你們是弓，那麼你們的孩子便是被發射出的活躍之箭。
弓箭手看準在永恆小徑上的箭靶，施展全力將你拉開，使箭射得又快又遠。
愉悅地在弓箭手的手中彎曲吧；
正如同他既愛飛馳的箭，也愛平穩的弓。
On Children
And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said,
"Speak to us of Children." And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Lifes longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archers hand be for gladness;
For even as he loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable. |
