【马叔日记】[2014.02.17]像梦中飘过一支丁香般的

Last night, Idreamed many dreams at once. Each dream look like a shredof paper after that paper had been through a shredder.Thousands of shreds were all tangled up ineach other like two dimensional spaghetti. Like Bob Dylan’s hair in that classicMilton Glaser print. Strands upon strandslike old stuffing in my mind. But fortunately I had the ability to see this entanglement, this too-many-thoughts-at-oncechallenge before me. And it was as if I had said, “one dream at a time please,”as all of a sudden all of the shreds formed a single line, and all that therewas before me became one single strip ofpaper, one story to be told, one path to be walked, one dream to be lived.
昨晚，我一下子做了好多梦。每一场梦境都好似被碎纸机绞过的一片纸。成千上万纸的碎片像意大利面或者Bob Dylan（美民谣歌手）的头发或者MiltonGlaser（美设计师）的作品一样纠缠在一起，仿佛老旧的填充物般在我脑海中牵扯出一条一条丝线。但当我看清楚这面纷乱思绪绕结而成的网后，好像轻声祷告，瞬间所有线条都化作一条直线，所有碎片都化作一条长长的纸，一个长长的故事，一条长长的路，一场梦想中的人生。

When I awoke, Irealized my dream was symbolic of what I often do in my waking life. Thinkingtoo many thoughts at once. Dreaming too many dreams at the same time. Nothaving one focus, but many.
Mind control hasbeen a central story for me for a long time. “Don’t let your mind stop you fromhaving a good time.” Or “I won’t worry my life away.” Etc.
To remedy this, Ifocus my attention on one thing. My penis.
Just kidding.
醒来后，我发现我的梦境是现实的写照，总是一下子想太多，一下子做许多梦，没有焦点。
我总是进行心理暗示，“别让坏心情毁了这一天”或者“我不会担心我的人生（“I won’t worry my life away.” the remedy歌词）”等等。
为了解决这问题（用了remedy），我把注意力集中到一件事上：我的丁丁。
开玩笑的。

You might haveheard the phrase, “to know God, serve others.” Well, in my experience, God isthe one voice in our hearts and minds that gives life to all the other voiceswe create. And Spirituality is the work oftaking all of those voices and fine-tuning them back into one voice. Servingothers is a good way to let go of our mental chatter, surrendering to a good deed, thus feeling betterand sleeping better.
你可能听到过别人这么说：要想接近上帝，就要为人民服务。就我自己而言，我觉得上帝是把我们所有的声音赋予生命的力量，灵性就是把所有声音汇集成一只乐曲的能力。为他人服务可以让我们摆脱掉脑海里的嗡嗡作响的絮语，做些好事，嘴角上扬，做个好梦。

You can also serveyourself; through prayer, meditation, yoga,exercise, writing, gardening or maybe just going for a long drive. Whatever itis for you, those tasks help train your mind to focus on just one thing. Doingso helps fine-tune and strengthen the inner God or Guide-voice that guides you,the voice you share your life with, not the add-on voices given to you byfamily, fears, and society. Your heart’s voice, the life energy given to eachof us, the energy we have access to the moment we are born, before we even knowwhat words are, that energy is the true voice, the true one voice that directsus to the dreams we are here to realize. And knowing what your dream is andliving it, that is the key to success. That is the key to happiness.
你也可以为自己做点什么，通过祷告，冥想，瑜伽，锻炼，写作，园艺或者只是开很长时间的车，不管你为自己做什么，都要帮助你把注意力集中到一件事上。这样就能听清内心中上帝的声音，指引你的声音，向它袒露灵魂的声音，而不是亲友或者社会强加给你的噪音。内心中的声音，我们每个人的灵魂力量，这是一种在生命本源就出现的力量，甚至在我们知道它的存在之前，它就已经化作一种实现梦想的指引。并且，明确你的梦境并且活在其中，是打开成功之门的钥匙，也是打开幸福之门的钥匙。

Whatever yourdreams look like, and they do look different for each of us, you are here tolive specifically for that dream. If you think you don’t know what your dreamis just stop and listen. Listen to the all the layers of your surroundingenvironment. The hush of distant traffic.The closeness of busy bees. The melodicmumble of birds chirping. The faint hovering whirof a helicopter. The conversation from the neighbor’s television. The sub stereo bass of a passing car. Or the sound ofyour own breathe. Your own deep inhales andlong slow exhales… In that peacefulnon-sound of your stillness, that’s where your dream lives.
不管你的梦是什么样子的，每个人的梦境都不同，你只为你的梦想而生。如果你不知道自己的梦想是什么，就停下脚步，仔细倾听吧。听一听周遭的声音，听一听远处的交通堵塞，听一听身边蜜蜂忙碌的嗡鸣，听鸟的啁啾，直升飞机的悬停，邻居电视的声音，汽车驶过发出的男低音，或者自己的呼吸声，深深吸气，再慢慢地、长长地呼出来……在静止的平和中，你的梦已经被悄悄唤醒了。

You are not yourmany concerns and your dream is not the concern of others. Your dream is whoyou really are.
And it’s alwaysthere singing to you, you just have to give yourself a moment to hear it.
Now go, be that ballerina you always wanted to be.
Or, What’s thename of a male ballerina? A baller?
Yeah, go be aballer.
你不活在自己的忧虑中，你也不活在别人谁的眼中，你活在自己的梦里。
你的梦想永远在某处对你低吟浅唱，只是需要你花点时间去倾听它。
你不是一直像当个芭蕾舞演员么，去做吧。
呃，男芭蕾舞演员怎么说？芭芭爸爸？
就是这样，跳去吧小子。
