雙語美文：我們生活在光裏
As I look outside from my desk at work,
當我工作之餘從桌前向外探望
I have a view of the mountains,

a beautiful, partially cloudy blue sky
雲海半遮，天際蔚藍的美景
and the random car traffic on our quiet road.

where my desk or cubicle had no window view

and there are associates at my current company

who do not have a view.

I know I am lucky

Maybe this day had a restful night to start it,
