In the Name of Love
愛的體驗是一種心理狀態。
沉浸在愛裏,
你會感到幸福快樂、生氣勃勃、自由自在。
自我感覺良好,
生活就會非常美好。
當你把這種愛的體驗帶進生活時,
生活就會變得輕鬆自如,
充滿喜悅。

On Marriage
卡裏?紀伯倫 / Kahlil Gibran
Then Almitra spoke again and said, and what of Marriage, master?
And he answered saying:
You were born together, and together you shall be forever more.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you,
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’ s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other’ s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’ s shadow.
艾爾梅特拉再度開口問道:大師,和我們談談有關婚姻的事,好嗎?
於是,他回答道:
你們一同出生,也將長相廝守。
當死神之翼驅散你們的日子時,你們也應在一起。
即使在上帝的記憶中,你們也將始終相守,
但是請在你們彼此的世界中保留一些空間,
好讓空中的風在你們之間舞蹈。
