新年的祈祷 - A Prayer for the New Year

Written by 琪子 on 12月 31st, 2007

我亲爱的万能神:
我从不曾相信你的存在,起码我从不相信你属于任何一个宗教。我不相信这世界上有一个或数个有着庞大力量却成日无所事事的神,时时刻刻深切关注着我们这些渺小的人类,把我们的一举一动纪录在一个本子上,给我们的善恶德行打份。好像奥林匹克裁判一样,在我们的短暂表演结束后,竖起一个个写着数字的小牌,彼此争执着,看最后的综合份是要我们上天堂还是下地狱。
不我不信那个。我不为死后的去处忧虑,不为来生今世而活。我为的是现在,为的是我脚下的这一趟旅程。
我相信这个世上如果有你存在的话,那么你是一种力量,充斥于天地之间,无知觉,无自我,有你自己的运行规律,存于世间,却不依附世间,纵横宇宙内外,你不会因人而异,你是真理,你是法则,你是世间一切美好事物的代名词,你是爱。
在过去的一年里,你赐予我很多。在2007年落幕前,我满怀欣喜地回想这一年来我所经历的一切。这是很奇异的一年,充满了意外,有好有坏。我想起了所有我相识并爱着的人,我想起我的朋友和家人。他们让我意识到我对自己还如此不了解。真与美一层层的显现在我眼前,这是你对我的恩宠。
如果说我对新的一年有什么愿望的话,那就是我希望我能有足够的力量去接受我被赐予的,去做我该做的事,当我该当的人,去找到我的命运、我在这世上应该充当的角色,去做这一切,并带着爱。请赐我智慧,使我明白怎样让自己的心灵永远敞开,让我爱周围的人更多一些。如果可以的话,请让世间人都拥有爱的自由,去寻找自我,寻找他人,并让我们和谐共处。
阿门。


My dear omnipotent God,
I’ve never believed in your existence, at least not in the sense of any religion. I’ve never believed that there exists one or several of You, capable of exercising enormous power over the fate of the living and yet have nothing better to do than to focus Your attention on us insignificant humans; that You record our every move and give scores on our relative merits like Olympic judges, raising little numbered placards at the end of our brief performance, arguing with each other about whether to send us to heaven or hell.
No, I don’t believe in that. I never worry about the comings and goings of my soul — if it exists — after death. I don’t believe in reincarnations and I don’t live for any other life but this one, for the path currently under my feet.
I do believe that if You exist in this world, then You’re a power filling heaven and earth, unconscious and unaware. You have Your own movement and rhythm. You exist in this world but are independent of it, Your visage immutable. You are Truth. You are Law. You represent all that is honest and good in this world. You are Love.
I have been blessed by You in this past year. It was a strange year, full of surprises both good and bad. Yet at its conclusion I stand in amazement at all that I have seen and experienced. I think about all the people that I have met and whom I have come to love. I think about my friends and family. I think about all the people who have helped me realize how little I know yet of myself. Layer after layer Truth and Beauty have revealed themselves to me, and for that I am blessed.
If there is one wish I have for the new year, it is that I will have enough strength to accept all that I am given, to do what I must, to be who I am, to find my destiny and place in this world, and to do it all with Love. Please give me wisdom, so that my heart may remain forever open to receive, so that I may love those around me a little more. And if You could, please grant everyone in this world the freedom to love and to seek the truth about themselves and others, so that we may all exist in harmony and peace.
Amen.

    中英对照就是好啊.很好的示范学习材料
    反转底扫N年前就很多人玩了.色里有很多这样的片子.
    从我感觉,还是DIGITAL更强大.特别是RAW.给了人更多的空间.
    黑白灰的调子搞对,然后可以调整GAMMA.
    色彩的浓厚就可以出来了.更容易一些.
    或者还可以观察通道的状态.
    我看了很多欧洲的片子.大体全是数码了.色彩都是一贯的浓厚.
    我觉得工具上的差异已经不大了.就看应用的人的发挥了。

    =====除了琪琪谁也看不到的分割线=========
    十分辛苦了一年,有了个小猪娃,现在已经百天了,长相随我,性格随我,爱笑爱玩,每天嗯嗯啊啊的话很多,脾气也挺大,不乐意了就直着嗓子哭,看得我们直乐。有许多照片,还有洗澡时候的裸照和短片,可惜我不会贴,否则贴过来给你看
    你现在也忙的不见人影,几次欲到这里留言,来又不见更新,于是也就沉默。心下微微惆怅,但相信你会将自己打理的非常好。
    仍然常常想念,想念会自己生长。

    葱葱,你好我就放心了。近来时常牵挂。可还记得当初在客栈发的帖子?说起要和你在N年后的荫荫树下喝茶携手话家常。不知如今的你是否变了。俺有很多话要跟你说。啥时候能写信或msn啊?你不是要逼我去客栈发帖子诉衷肠吧?
