Quiet

安靜 quiet

.................

暴風雨來臨前，是安靜的 It is quiet before the storm coming.

吵架的兩個人之間，是安靜的 It is quiet between the fighting couple.

哭泣的母親，是安靜的 It is quiet when the mother is crying.

無助的父親，是安靜的 It is quiet when the father feels helpless.

抬頭看著天空的時候，是安靜的 It is quiet when looking at the cloud.

花瓣飄落在頭髮上，是安靜的 It is quiet when the petal falling on her hair.

濕衣服被太陽曬乾，是安靜的 It is quiet when the laundry drying in the sun.

小狗睡覺時，是安靜的 It is quiet when the dog is sleeping.

夕陽落下，是安靜的 It is quiet when the sun is falling.

神訴說的話語，是安靜的 It is quiet when God whispers.

聽見別人心裡的聲音，是需要安靜的 Keeping quiet is a needy when you litsen to others’ hearts.

幸福悄悄來臨時，是很安靜的 It is very quiet when the happiness arrives.

願我能將這份小小的寧靜送給你 我們靈魂的渴望，是能夠回到像家一般暖暖滿滿的愛裡。 家，是擁抱生命最初的搖籃， 但我們所渴望的這份安全感與愛，可能在現實中並不如我們所期待的完滿。 這樣的渴望，有時像隱隱作痛的傷口，提醒著這份破滅。 最後一張餐桌上吃飯的圖，有許多人建議我把媽媽爸爸一起畫在餐桌上， 這樣才比較符合我們人生的幸福藍圖。 但對於那份外在完整形式的渴求，有時就像在鞭打那個已經受傷了的自己。 而我覺得，這個小孩，或許已經可以在自己單獨的安靜裡，感受到了一份寧靜與愛。 在餐桌上的可以是家人、朋友、伴侶或著是他自己一人。 我出生的家庭裡常常有大大小小的暴風雨， 當我接受了家族裡每一個人的個性，不套上社會制約給我們每個人的角色定義， 一種允許與尊重，就給予了所有人自由。 願你在單獨中，也送給自己一份寧靜。

Wish I could deliver this little peace to you The desire of our soul, is to return to the warming home where is full of love.

Home, is the first cradle embracing us when we were born.

The love and safety that we desire for may not as complete as we expected.

Sometimes it is like a wound hidden in our back, which remind us this unreachable dream.

The last page which the child was dining at the table, some friends suggest me the draw the parents with him. This image is more fit to the blueprint of the ideal family.

However, I think this desire of looking like wholeness, sometimes it is like to tear apart this wound again.

I think this child maybe already feels his own peacefulness alone in his quiet time.

On the table, we can dine with family, friends or just alone.

I was born in the family with many storms.

When I accept everyone’s character in the family, instead of not putting the stereotype role on them, this allowing and respect gives us the freedom.

Wish you will find the peacefulness in your quiet time alone.

願我的平靜，是你的平靜 願你的平靜，也是我的平靜 May my peace , be your peace May your peace, be my peace too.
