昨天，
傍晚七点，
从学校大门走出。
细雨刚逝，落日金黄。
眼前呈现 一片180度虹彩！！
［这是老刘一辈子当中，
第一次看到那么壮观的180度半圆彩虹。
90度／35度彩虹倒是看过几次，
但180度彩虹还真是仅此一次：》 ］
背着一叠作业本到咖啡店去吃饭，
惊奇地观望天空。
都 7点05了，天怎么还没暗？
太阳还挂在天的一角，仍旧送放金光。
［有点像平日6：30的情景］
忽然感觉，像是老天格外赠送半小时日光，
心里美滋滋的。:>
幻想着，要是老天送老刘半小时日光，
老刘应当如何善加运用？
朝思泉涌，高尚浪漫。
半小时吃完晚餐，日光渐逝，夜幕低垂。
回家执笔书下，
一点感悟＼几番蜜语。
赠与友人共享。
老刘敬上

Extra half hour of Daylight
If You grant me an extra half hour of Daylight,
How shall I spend it lovingly ?
Shall I watch the sun set graciously
& marvel at the wondrous Grace
as Day gives way to Night
& the hustle & bustles of the morns
Give way to the silent & peaceful hymns of
creatures of the night ?
Shall I visit the oceans,
& allow the elements of air, water, fire, earth to swirl around me,
the wind in my hair, the sand upon my feet,
the sea embracing me, & the last ray of Dusk
blessing the hairline upon my forehead?
Shall I sing You devotional songs,
& envelop myself in sweet Remembrance,
as many a Devotee does,
in ancient time of the past,
Following a scared lineage,
to times of the present?
Shall I enter a closet
& study the writings of saints & sages,
Allowing the wisdom of the scriptures,
to cleanse and gently massages a soul
leaden with the heavy energy of this world?
Shall I sit in silent meditation,
& focus on the inner light & sound
which shines forth from all beings
that walk, move & live on this lovely planet ?
Shall I sit among our animal friends,
& learn from them ,
the gentle manners of submission,
the warmth of family life,
the contentment for simple joys of life ?
Shall I seek to understand Mother Earth’s plight,
& heed Her plead to 'Live and let live'
to preserve our food & water resources,
& not take More from Nature
than what we really need ?

古代灵性诗人如Tagora/Gibran/Rumi/Hafiz经常都有深沉的感悟，
他们对高尚的力量总有一种甜蜜的／优美的情感。
现代灵性诗人如清海师父，Daniel Ladinsky,
灵性歌唱者Snatam Kuar 和Sami Yusuf
也都有类似的灵思。
这是许多伟大艺术的发源地，许多高尚美术的灵感。
老刘偶有所悟，与朋友分享。：）
今年还蛮丰收的嘛！：〉
