摘要
拉爾夫‧沃爾多‧愛默生是十九世紀著名的美國散文家、哲學家、講師、詩人、暨超越論哲學運動領袖。他的文學影響了許多著名作家，包括亨利‧大衛‧梭羅和華特‧惠特曼。愛默生最出名的是他的文章表達了自由、靈性、獨特的想法、還有近乎了解一切的人類偉大能力，以及靈魂和周遭世界之間的關係。拉爾夫‧沃爾多‧愛默生到處旅行演講，並以作品《散文選》和《論自然》而聞名。今天我們將摘錄愛默生先生真知灼見的散文「靈性法則」，來激發我們的心與靈。「宇宙的簡單性大異於機械的簡單性。本質的純樸或許並不易解讀，卻用之不竭。最後所做的分析不見得明智。我們以一個人的期盼論斷其智慧，了解對本質無窮無盡的感知是不朽的青春。在將我們的刻板名聲與善變意識做比較時，能感受到本質的狂野創造力。」

「對我們周遭每天發生的事稍加關心，會讓我們看到，高於我們意志的律法規範著事宜；我們辛苦的勞動不必要，也沒有結果；我們唯有從容、單純、自發的行動，我們才能強大，並順從滿足於我們自身，我們變得神聖。信念與愛—有信心的愛，會減輕我們的重擔。我的弟兄啊，上帝存在。本質的核心有個靈魂，凌駕每個人的意志，這樣才沒人可以擾亂宇宙。它已將其強大的魅力注入本質，當我們接受其忠告時，我們就會昌盛成功，當我們費力傷害其創造物時，我們的雙手將被制伏，或捶打自己的胸口。整個事情的過程教會了我們信念。我們只需順服。我們每個人都有指引，藉由謙恭地聆聽，我們將聽到正確話語。為何您要如此痛苦地選擇您的住處、職業和同事，行動模式和娛樂方式呢？」Words of Wisdom

Details
Ralph Waldo Emerson was a renowned 19th-century American essayist, philosopher, lecturer, poet, and a leader of the transcendental philosophical movement. His literature influenced many other celebrated writers, including Henry David Thoreau and Walt Whitman. Emerson is most famous for his essays, through which he expresses ideas of freedom, spirituality, individuality, the great ability of humans to realize almost everything, and the relationship between the soul and the surrounding world. Ralph Waldo Emerson traveled widely giving lectures and became well known for his publications “Essays” and “Nature.” Today, we will invigorate our minds and spirits with an excerpt from one of Mr. Emerson’s perceptive essays entitled, “Spiritual Laws.” “The simplicity of the universe is very different from the simplicity of a machine. The simplicity of nature is not that which may easily be read, but is inexhaustible. The last analysis can no wise be made. We judge of a man’s wisdom by his hope, knowing that the perception of the inexhaustibleness of nature is an immortal youth. The wild fertility of nature is felt in comparing our rigid names and reputations with our fluid consciousness.” “A little consideration of what takes place around us every day would show us, that a higher law than that of our will regulates events; that our painful labors are unnecessary, and fruitless; that only in our easy, simple, spontaneous action are we strong, and by contenting ourselves with obedience, we become divine. Belief and love, — a believing love will relieve us of a vast load of care. O my brothers, God exists. There is a soul at the center of nature, and over the will of every man, so that none of us can wrong the universe. It has so infused its strong enchantment into nature, that we prosper when we accept its advice, and when we struggle to wound its creatures, our hands are glued to our sides, or they beat our own breasts. The whole course of things goes to teach us faith. We need only obey. There is guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening, we shall hear the right word. Why need you choose so painfully your place, and occupation, and associates, and modes of action, and of entertainment?”Like a woman said

The dark mist covers the soul of the sun

Just a flowing cloud in the sky

Love is the sad color of people

Finally recovered for happiness

There are joyful smiles on their faces

I see the world with wandering clouds

The sun turned over happily

Dreamlike sweet time

Walking alone on an empty street

I feel the end of life

As if it never happened

像一家妇人说

黯雾遮了太阳的灵魂

只是天空的一片流云

爱的是人们悲哀的颜色

终于为了快乐复苏

她们的脸上露出喜悦的笑容

我附着流荡的流云看世界

太阳愉悦的翻了个身

有如梦的甜蜜的时候

在无人的街道上独自行走

我就感到人生的尽头

仿佛这事从未发生过
