愛在一切細節裏

I have always believed that reading books can expand the mind, touch the heart, and enrich the soul. They can also cause you. imagination to do some funny things at times. I can remember several years ago reading a book where the hero went through several tragedies and at one point in the midst of his pain and torment cried out: “Where is Love?”. At that moment in my imagination I leapt into the story, grabbed him by the arm and told him: “It’s everywhere! It’s everywhere!”Love is everywhere. You just have to open your heart to see it.
我一直秉持着讀書能夠開闊視野、直抵內心、豐滿靈魂這一觀點。在書中有些描寫有趣的事情還會激發你的想象力。猶記得多年前讀過的一本書中，裏面的英雄幾度經歷悲苦，在飽受折磨和痛苦中，一次他不禁吶喊：“哪裏有愛？”看到此處，我彷彿也縱身如故事中，抓着他的手臂，對他說，“到處都是！無處不在！”愛一直都在，只要你用心感受。

For me it is there every time I watch the dawn break upon a new day. It is there every time a brisk winter breeze blows across my face. It is there in the first flower of Spring. It is there in the green grass of Summer. It is there in the last leaf of Fall. It is there every time my handicapped sons give me a hug. It is there every time my daughter laughs at one of my dumb jokes. It is there in the adoring eyes of my old beagle and my new puppy. It is there in the purring cat that naps on my chest. It is there in the smile of the clerk behind the counter. It is there in the old man who opens a door for me. It is there when I read a letter from a friend. It is there every time I pray. It is there in everything I write and every act of kindness I do.
對我來說愛在，黎明破曉新一天。愛在冬日冷風迎面，春日初花綻放，夏日綠草如茵，秋日孤葉凋零。對我來說，愛在身患殘疾的兒子們給我的每一個擁抱裏，在女兒對我的冷笑話給予的微笑裏，愛在我的老獵犬和新寵物狗崇拜的目光中，在我胸前小憩喵咪的呼嚕聲中。愛在櫃檯後面服務員微笑，老人爲我開門。愛在閱讀友人來信，在我的每次禱告。愛在我的字裏行間，愛在我的一言一行。

The Bible tells us that “God is Love.” And since God is without beginning or end then so is love. It fills all of His creation. It fills us as well every time we open our hearts and souls to it. Don’t shut out love then. Don’t live your life in pain. Open your heart instead. Share your love instead. You will find that the more love you give away, the more love you will have. You will find that the more love you share, the more God’s love will surround you. You will find that when you live your life in love, you will find love everywhere.
聖經中說，上帝仁愛。上帝不生不滅是因爲愛，他把愛傾注在造物中。愛不只是口頭表達，不要生活在痛苦中。不要緊閉心門，來吧，分享你的愛。你會發現給予更多，就會得到更多。施與很多愛，上帝的恩寵也會與你形影不離。當你的生活沐浴在愛之中，愛就無處不在。
