「你的孩子不是你的孩子」(Your children are not your children)

from《先知 The Prophet》- On Children 孩子 by Khalil Gibran 紀伯倫

你的孩子，並非你的孩子。 他們是生命自身的渴望所孕育的子女。 他們藉由你而來，卻非源自於你們。 他們雖與你同在，卻不屬於你。 你可以給予他們你的愛，卻不能給予他們你的思想， 因為他們有自己的思想。 你可以庇護他們的身體，而非他們的靈魂， 因為他們的靈魂屬於明日，就連你們夢中也無法到達的明日。 你們可努力仿效他們，而非試圖讓他們仿效你們。 因為生命不能倒退，也不會逗留在昨日。 你們就像是弓，你們的孩子則是發射出去往前飛的活生生的箭 弓箭手看見無盡旅途上的標靶 祂用力使你們彎曲，好讓祂的箭飛馳得又快又遠 好好享受在弓箭手的手中彎曲的樂趣吧 因為即便祂喜愛飛馳的箭，祂也喜愛穩定的弓

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls. For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness. For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Music of the Wyld (1987) — Andy Portman *Andy Portman 是一位活跃於 1980 年代末期的英國電子與新世紀音樂（New Age）作曲家暨鍵盤手。他最著名的作品是以極簡主義（Minimal）與邊緣音樂（Leftfield）風格為核心的冥想放鬆音樂

Before Andy Portman carried Dimitri to the moon, before he found the Holy Grail and recorded Vision of Forever, before the Owl Wars had ended and the Progbarians renewed their hunt for the Blue Crystals, there was a period when Portman wandered the Wyld. In 1987, the Dawn Awakening Sagegazer recorded Music of the Wyld, a transmission inspired by these last territories untouched by Progbarian thinking. The Wyld was not merely forest or sea, but a realm of waves, moonlight, birds, wind, memory, and recurring cycles. Through transmissions such as First Light, Dream Search, Fallen Beech, and Calm Sea, Portman sought wisdom not in conquest or certainty, but in attentive observation. While the Progbarians attempted to categorize every phenomenon they encountered, Portman listened for the deeper signal flowing beneath appearances.

. . .

As his wanderings continued, Portman came to understand that the Wyld was not a place at all, but a condition of awareness. Through breath, mantra, earthlight, and the mysterious sensation of déjà vu, he discovered that the Blue Crystal did not merely amplify power; it amplified perception. The signal revealed itself in the turning of tides, the circling of the moon, and the recurring patterns connecting all living things. The lessons Portman learned in the Wyld would later guide him through the Owl Wars, aid him in his quest for the Holy Grail, and help preserve the Sagegazers during some of the darkest years of the Patchoulilight.

. . .

The Sagegazer understands that true wisdom is not found in mastery, but in attunement.
