A Star with No Name

A Star with No Name

When a baby is taken from the wet nurse,

it easily forgets her and starts eating solid food.

Seeds feed on ground awhile, then lift up into

the sun. So you should taste

filtered light and work toward what has no

personal covering.

That's how you came here, like a star with no name.

Move in the night sky with those anonymous lights.

- Rumi

無名的星星

當一個嬰兒離開奶媽後，

他很快的忘了她，

並開始吃固體食物。

種子也是一樣，

它先在地下攝取營養，

然後迎向陽光。

所以你也應該像種子一樣，

先間接地吸收陽光，

然後破殻，赤裸地成長。

這就是你最初來到世界的模樣，

像一顆無名的星星，

和無數無名的星星在夜空移動。
