喜樂美語

Hold on to something that turns over and over and does not stop: a wheel on a road, a wave coming in, a ball across a floor. Nothing about it is sharp. It rises, it falls, it comes round again, and the point that touches the ground keeps changing. Lay that picture on land and you get long soft . Lay it on work and you get a job that keeps going, a piece at a time. Lay it on sound and you get thunder that rumbles on instead of cracking once.

可以想成一個一直翻過去、停不下來的東西：路上的輪子、打進來的浪、地板上滾動的球。它沒有稜角，只有一起一伏，而且碰到地面的那一點一直在換。把這個畫面放到土地上，就是長長的、緩緩的坡；放到做事情上，就是工作沒停，一批接一批往前推；放到聲音上，就是雷聲滾過天空，不是「砰」一聲就沒了。這只是一個幫助記憶的想法。
