时间与烦劳

我们总认为自己将来会有所改变,
我们内心所向往的和谐境界,
也会一点一点,一天地实现。

事实上,时间并不会带来任何的和谐与平安,
我们必须停止这种渐近的想法。

这意味着,使我们平安的明天是根本不存在的,
我们必须在当下这一刻找到和谐。
《Freedom, From the know》 ——J. Krishnamuti

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me
Black as the pit from pole to pole
I think what ever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is blooding, but unbowed

Beyond the place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of shade
And get the menace of years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid

It matters not how strait the gate
How charge with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul.
