緬懷父親 - Memory of father

 



 嚴以律己,寬以待人 

是父親留給我們的訓誡。

也是他一生持守的做人處事生活態度。


小時候

他厚實的手常緊緊牽著我慢慢走。

記得有一個週末,

他帶我去他的辦公室。

看他專注整理資料,

我則坐在可旋轉的辦公椅上

開心的玩了一個上午。

然後爸帶我去午餐,

美味可口的台菜令人印象深刻。

回家途中,

沿著麥克阿瑟公路漫步。

我仰望夕陽映照著爸的笑容⋯

當時的他就是我的唯一。

我懷念那單純的幸福與快樂。

 

之後的歲月、成長⋯

覺得自己長大了,

有自己的想法,

有自己的個性。

有時候我們溝通不良,

傷爸的心而不自覺。

然而他從來不會計較,

總是以寬容的愛心

教導我如何成為更好的人。


無論遭遇任何困難,

總是有勇氣與毅力去面對。

從來不怨天尤人。

在我心目中

父親永遠都是善良、正直、慷慨的典範。


~此文獻給我敬愛的父親~



 Be tough on yourself and 

understanding to others 

It is the admonition that our father left us. 

It is also his attitude toward life.


When I was little,

his thick hands held me tightly

and walked slowly often.

I remember a weekend,

he took me to his office.

Looked at him focus on sorting out 

the information, 

I sat in a swivel office chair 

having a lot of fun.

Then my dad brought me lunch.

DeliciousTaiwanese dishes are impressive. 

On the way home,

walking beside the MacArthur Thruway.

I looked up at the sunset reflected

Dad's smile…

He was the one and only. 

I miss that simple happiness and joy.


Later years, 

I felt grown up 

and grew out of my idea 

also have my own personality. 

Sometimes we were miscommunication  

I hurt Dad's heart without realising it. 

However, he never complained, 

still with much tolerant love to let me know 

how to be a better person.


With great perseverance and courage

no matter what difficulties he encountered.

My father has always been a role model of kindness, integrity, and generosity 

in my mind.

紀念母親 - Commenmorate mother

 



「十五歲時媽媽就離世了。

最深刻的印象

是我常偎在她溫暖的臂彎睡著⋯」-

母親訴說著過往,

雙眸閃著淚光。


在父兄嫂呵護中成長,

原本嬌弱的她

為母則強。

管理家務,

督促我們學習,

園藝,

整修房屋,

歌唱,

傳統扇舞,

對於親友的支持⋯

凡事都難不倒她。


不曾看她掉過涙。

直到那年暑假結束前向媽辭行,

她突然痛哭。

我難過地緊擁著她⋯

曾幾何時母親變得如此脆弱


此文獻給我敬愛的母親 ~


« My mother passed away 

when I was fifteen.  

What impressed me the most 

was that I often cuddled in her warm arms 

and fell asleep... » -

When my mom was talking 

about the past, 

her eyes were glistening.


She was a delicate girl,

growing up in the care of 

father, brothers and sister-in-law.

But to be stronger 

when as a mother.

manage housework, 

supervised our learning, 

horticulture, 

renovated house, 

singing, 

dancing with paper fan...

She has given family and friends 

great support... 

Nothing stumped her.


She never shed a tear 

until that summer time, 

she burst into tears 

when the moment I was leaving home.

I held her in my arms,

I felt so sad , since when my mom 

became so fragile?

with my respect and gratitude ~

台北天空 - Taipei sky

 



盈珍攝影 - Ying Chen photography 

旅居海外多年,

對我來說家並不遠,

經常往返,時時關注,

無論如何,

台北常駐我心,

永遠是我的摯愛。


柔美曙光

揭開傳統市場的序幕。

午後小販幽揚的叫賣聲,

亂中有序的車站人群,

一切都那麼熟悉親切。


黃昏時分,夜市人生才開始。

飲食小吃遊樂場⋯

到處充滿熱情歡笑。


藝文園區瀰漫著創意靈氣,

也是休閒活動的好去處。


大街小巷,

新社區、老社區⋯

說不盡為生活努力奮鬥成長的故事。


老榕樹兀自傲立在巷口。

看到一張張樸實的臉,

人來人往⋯

這兒種種的純真善良

沒有隨時光流逝。


夜深人靜,

仰望遙遠的星空,

閃爍著一道光⋯

許了個願,

為眾生平安幸福祈禱。

Living abroad,

home is not far for me. 

Back and forth often, 

always care about my country. 

Anyhow,

Taipei is always in my heart,

and will always be my love.


Soft dawn unveiled the prelude 

to the traditional market.

The quiet cries of hawkers in the afternoon.

Orderly crowd at the station.

Everything is so familiar and kind.


At dusk, 

life in the night market just begins.

Eating snack playground...

there is enthusiastic laughter everywhere.


Those art parks are filled with 

creative aura.

Also good places for leisure activities.


The old marabutan tree 

still standing proudly in the alley.

Look at the plain faces,

people come and go...

The innocence and kindness here 

does not pass away at any time. 


In the quite night,

look up at the distant starry sky 

shining a light…

pray for the peace and happiness 

of all beings.

# Me Too ( # 我也是 )

 


盈珍水彩畫 - Ying Chen watercolor painting 



# Me Too ( # 我也是 

源起於2017年美國,

20183月散播至臺灣。


此運動目的是療癒受到性侵、

性騷擾與霸凌的受害者,

受害者的申訴

引發社會迴響的同時推動社會文化的改變,

省思如何提升社會善良風俗。

揭發加害者邪惡、邪淫的真面目,

希望社會不要道德淪喪,不要再有受害者。

 

萬惡淫為首。

老天有眼,凡走過必留下痕跡,

一切邪淫不倫的行為

總有報應的一天。


# Me Too, originated from the United States 

in the 2017. 

At march in 2013 spread to Taiwan. 


The purpose of this movement is to heal victims of sexual assault, harassment and bullying. 

Complaints of Victims 

cause social repercussions. 

At the same time 

achieving societal and cultural change.

Meanwhile, thinking about how to promote good social customs.

Expose the perpetrator’s evil and adultery.

Hope the society will not be morally corrupt

and there will be no more victims in society. 

 

Sexual misconduct is root of all evils.

Fornication is the foremost evil.

All past will leave traces. 

God is never blind to your tears. 

There will always be a day of retribution 

for wrong, not moral

and evil behavior.

人生的意義 - Meaning of life

 


盈珍攝影 - Ying Chen Photography


人生的意義何在?

為何而來?

我們日常遭遇的種種

都是在酬業 - 恩情債務的酬償,

是過去與現在的業力消長。

我們的起心動念無不在造業,

而這些業(善業或惡業)

將如影隨行影響我們。

然而只要我們願意放下執著,

改邪歸正修善,

自然可以減輕業力。


人生還有更重要的

是我們此生的生命課題 -

學習,成長,擔當,使命⋯

是各人的覺悟與抉擇,

是每個人自己本身的課題,

後果也是自己需承擔的。

雖然只是自己本身的生命課程,

但是所有的真誠,善良,慈悲,

寬容,明智,超越自我,

尋回初始的真善美⋯

都是在影響周遭,

令世界更美好。


What is the meaning of life

Why do we come to the world

Our daily encounters  

cause of karma-reward,

for repaying debt of gratitude

to release our karma of past 

and present.

Every thought is the origin of karma.

Good karma or bad karma

will follow us

as the shadow follows the form.

However, if we let go of attachment,  

correct the error and be good

we can release our bad karma. 

We reap what we sow. 


The most important things 

in our life -

learn, grow, take responsibility, mission...

that’s everyone’s  consciousness 

and choice,

that’s everyone’s own subject. 

The consequences are also to be borne 

by oneself. 

Although it's just our own life course 

but all the sincerity, benevolence, compassion,

tolerance, wise, exceed ourself. 

find the original heart of truthfulness, benevolence and beauty 

will influence our surroundings 

and making the world a better place.

婚姻是由姻緣業力感召。

無論是善緣、惡緣、

良緣、孽緣⋯

結果如何?

幸福與否?

由夫妻二人決定。


有彼此的真愛、忠誠、尊重、理解、支持

才能維護良好的互動,

成就美好姻緣,

建立幸福和諧的家庭。


Marriage inspired by married karma. 

Regardless of good karma, bad karma , 

right or unrightful reason…

How is the result ? 

Happy or not ? 

It is up to the couple to decide. 


Love, mutual loyalty, 

respect, understanding and support 

that’s important for interacting  well 

each other

and building a happy, harmonious family.
