聲音簡介

SOUL AND THE OLD WOMAN

What is the soul ? Consciousness. The more awareness , the deeper the soul , and when
such essence overflows , you feel a sacredness around . It ' s so simple to tell one who
puts on a robe and pretends to be a dervish from the real thing . We know the taste
of pure water . Words can sound like a poem but not have any juice , no flavor to
relish . How long do you look at pictures on a bathhouse wall ? Soul is what draws
you away from these pictures to talk with the old woman who sits outside by the door
in the sun . She ' s half blind , but she has what soul loves to flow into . She ' s kind , she weeps .
She makes quick personal decisions , and laughs so easily .

《靈魂與老婦人》

什么是靈魂？是意識(shí)。意識(shí)越多，靈魂越深，當(dāng)這種本質(zhì)溢出時(shí)，你會(huì)感覺到周圍的神圣。要分辨出一個(gè)穿上長袍假裝苦行僧的人很簡單，因?yàn)槲覀冎兰儍糁奈兜?。言語或許聽起來像首詩，卻了無汁液，無味可品。你會(huì)注視澡堂墻上的圖片多久？靈魂能把你從那些圖片上拉走，讓你去和門外曬太陽的老婦人聊聊天。她雙眼半盲，但擁有靈魂喜于浸潤的品質(zhì)。她善良，會(huì)哭泣。她敏于決定且笑對(duì)人生。
