閱讀全文 ➜ Reach & You Raise Me Up
最近面對了一些轉折和改變,更深一層看見自己內在變化的過程中,三不五時會聽到一些曲子,聽的當下百感交集,總覺得自己還有太多要努力和操練的部分。
標題是兩首最近十分觸動我的歌-
When I am down and oh my soul so weary
每當我心情低落,我的靈魂如此疲憊
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
每當麻煩接踵而來,我的內心苦不堪言
Then I am still and wait here in the silence
然後,我會在這裡靜靜的等待
Until you come and sit a while with me
直到你出現陪我坐一會兒
You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
有你的鼓勵,所以我能攀上的高山
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
有你的鼓勵,所以我能橫渡狂風暴雨的大海
I am stong when I am on your shoulders
我是如此堅強,當我倚靠著你時
You raise me up....to more than can be.
因為你的鼓舞....讓我超越了自己.
There is no life, no life without its hunger
沒有任何人的人生,可以不經歷痛苦
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly
每一顆躍動不停的心,是如此不完美
But when you come and I am filled with wonder
但當你出現,我的生命便充滿驚奇
Sometimes I think I glimpse eternity.
有時候,我以為我看見了永恆
You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
有你的鼓勵,所以我能攀上的高山
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
有你的鼓勵,所以我能橫渡狂風暴雨的大海
I am stong when I am on your shoulders
我是如此堅強,當我倚靠著你時
You raise me up....to more than can be.
因為你的鼓舞....讓我超越了自己.
最近一直有機會被人家問到「你當初是怎麼走上這一行的」,剛好又在某個舊部落格裡,看見自己在2006年左右寫下的文章。我發現那時候的自己真的很憂鬱啊!憂鬱到會閉著眼睛過馬路。然而到了谷底之後,就起死回生了。
大部分的時候,我是不記得這些往事的,因為相關的人事物,這兩年內療癒得差不多了,有時候想起過去,稀薄破碎的畫面,彷彿孟婆湯沒喝乾淨,剩了點湯在碗底,於是就留下了那麼點記憶渣滓。
當我看見我以前過的日子時,我能堅定的告訴自己,未來有什麼好怕的呢?我已經在2006年死過一次了,不是嗎?
剛開始接個案的時候,我也會開玩笑的對我的朋友說:「啊~失敗了頂多打回原形,摸摸鼻子回去當國文老師而已,不會怎樣的~」
但我某一天忽然懂了,我現在才是被打回原形。
聽著「You raise me up」,我想,在車禍就要發生的那一刻,上師真的拉了我一把,然後把我拉上現在的道路吧?
Some dreams live on in time forever
Those dreams, you want with all your heart
And I'll do whatever it takes
Follow through with the promise I made
Put it all on the line
What I hoped for at last would be mine
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach
Some days are meant to be remembered
Those days we rise above the stars
So I'll go the distance this time
Seeing more the higher I climb
That the more I believe
All the more that this dream will be mine
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
I'm gonna be stronger
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be so much stronger yes I am
Know that I've tried my very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach higher
If I could, if I could
If I could reach
Reach, I'd reach, I'd reach
I'd reach I'd reach so much higher
Be stronger
「Reach」是1996年亞特蘭大奧運主題曲,會拿到這張專輯,是一個高中時代交情還不錯的學長,考上大學之後送給我的,算算CD放在我家也快10年了。
走上靈性修為的道路,確實和MV裡的奧運運動員是有幾分相似的--我相信一個人願意為了某一種運動付出全副的心力、時間、精力,以及金錢,是因為他真的非常熱愛做這件事情。
然而,在練習的過程中,會有挫折、有汗水、有淚,也有像歌詞裡面說的,「值得紀念的一天,因為那天我們抵達比星星還高的地方」。
在靈性修為的過程中,最衰弱的部分會一直跳出來挑戰我們,一層又一層,反覆螺旋似的,同一個課題愈做愈深、愈爬愈高。有時候確實會挫折,然而,絕大多數的時間我是感恩而快樂的。
我感恩我有機會認識自己更多,包括認識到自己的弱點、認識到自己的逃避;認識到自己的優點、認識到自己的福氣及幸運。我快樂我會的一些事情,能夠讓某些人跟我一起快樂起來。
我快樂我能看見自己需要持續寬恕的部分,我感恩我有機會能跌倒之後,還有力氣爬起來,這個世界是如此的善待我,帶給我這樣多的幫助及精彩的生活。
最後一首是Because you loved me,我想,歌詞已經很白話了,就不需要我多做註解了。
For all those times you stood by me
那些你在我身邊的時光
For all the truth that you made me see
那些你讓我看見的真相
For all the joy you brought to my life
那些你使我的人生增添的喜悅
For all the wrong that you made right
那些你改正的錯誤
For every dream you made come true
那些你使之成真的夢想
For all the love I found in you
那些我在你身上找到的愛
I'll be forever thankful, baby
我永遠感謝你,寶貝
You're the one who held me up
你始終扶持著我
Never let me fall
從不讓我跌倒
You're the one who saw me through, through it all
你是真正瞭解我的人,瞭解我的一切
You were my strength when I was weak
當我軟弱無力,你是我的力量
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
當我無法言語,你是我的聲音
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
當我看不見時,你是我的雙眼
You saw the best there was in me
你看見了我心中的美好
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
當我拿不到時,你將我高高舉起
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
你給了我信心,因為你相信
I'm everything I am
我有了一切
Because you loved me
因為你愛我
You gave me wings and made me fly
你給了我翅膀,使我飛翔
You touched my hand, I could touch the sky
你觸摸我的手,使我能碰到天空
I lost my faith , you gave it back to me
當我失去信心,你為我拾回
You said no star was out of reach
你說沒有摘不到的星星
You stood by me and I stood tall
你隨伺在側,讓我高高在上
I had your love, I had it all
我擁有你的愛,擁有了一切
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
我感激你賜給我的每一天
Maybe I don't know that much
也許我了解的不多
But I know this much is true
但我明白這都是千真萬確的
I was blessed because I was loved by you
因為被你所愛,使我蒙受祝福
You were always there for me
你總是在我身旁
The tender wind that carried me
像溫柔的風跟著我
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
像黑暗中的光,將愛射向我的生命
You've been my inspiration
你是我的靈感泉源
Through the lies you were the truth
穿越重重謊言,你才是真理
My world is a better place because of you
因為有你,我的世界才更美好
