On children 论孩子

作者:纪伯伦 译者:冰心

你们的孩子,

都不是你们的孩子。

乃是生命为自己所渴望的儿女。

他们是借你们而来,

却不是从你们而来。


他们虽和你同在,

却不属于你们。


你们可以给他们爱,

你们却不可以给他们思想,

因为他们有自己的思想。


你们可以荫庇他们的身体,

却不能荫蔽他们的灵魂。

因为他们的灵魂,

是住在明日的宅中,

那是你们在梦中也不能想见的。


你们可以努力去模仿他们,

却不能使他们来像你们。

因为生命是不倒行的,

也不与昨日一同停留。


你们是弓,

你们的孩子

是从弦上发出的生命的箭矢。


那射者在无穷之间看定了目标,

也用神力将你们引满,

使他的箭矢

迅速而遥远的射了出来。


让你们在射者手中的弯曲

成为喜乐吧。


因为他爱那飞出的箭,

也爱了那静止的弓。

Your children are not your children

They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself

They come through you but not from you

And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you


You may give them your love but not your thought

For they have their own thoughts


You may house their bodies but not their souls

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow

Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams


You may strive to be like them

But seek not to make them like you

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday


You are the bows from which your children

As living arrows are sent forth

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite

And He bends you with His might

That His arrows may go swift and far


Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness

For even as He loves the arrow that flies

So He loves also the bow that is stable


小编说:


父母抚育孩子,孩子成长为父母又接着抚育他们的孩子,生命因此一代代延续。


如纪伯伦文中所写:生命是不倒行的,也不与昨日一同停留。


也如托马斯·希伯尔所讲,每个孩子都有"存在"(being)的权利,成为TA自己的权利。


父母的爱,滋养孩子的生命,伴随他们成长,也许长大后,他们生命的线条又往更高更远的地方延伸。


“所谓父母子女一场,你和TA的缘分就是今生今世不断地在目送TA的背影渐行渐远。你站在小路的这一段,看着TA逐渐消失在小路转弯的地方,而且,TA用背影告诉你:不必追。”


在哪一个时刻你突然感觉到,可以放手让孩子走得更远?
