Quote of the moment

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

-Wendell Berry: The Peace or the Wild Things

Demons

與填滿頭腦的魔鬼作戰
不能被遺留的過去時中
投射在旁邊,僅僅另外一沒什麼東西
透過一個世界那不跟我一起唱歌

Fighting Demons of the mind
Unable to leave the past behind
Declared to be but a nothing
While the world without me can sing
