My Shadow 我的影子

My Shadow 我的影子

Joseph Fu 傅耀賢

Camino Frances路上隨想文

清早我有巨人的影子,就像小時候有無限的希望,

我認真的踏出每一步要去捉影,可是它遙不可及,我走的愈快,

它也離我愈快.有時雲霧遮日,我就看不見我的影子,

我只能慣性地踏出下一步.相信它還會出現.漸漸長大,

巨影變小了,我的目標也變小了.日正當中時,

我的影子就在我腳下,好像我已捉到影子,

可是那目標是多麼的渺小,再過片刻它已在我背後.

原來這一切都是陽光造就的,我就開始跟隨太陽,可是它曬得刺痛,

我憑信繼續跟隨,當太陽快下山時,黃昏的景色多麼燦爛繽紛,

可惜我一天的行程也要結束,當我躺下時,我的影子也消失了！

My Shadow 5/1/24

In the early morning I have the shadow of a giant, just like the infinite hope I had as a child.

I take every step seriously to catch the shadow, but it is out of reach.

The faster I walk, the faster it moves away from me.

Sometimes the clouds cover the sun, and I cannot see my shadow. I can only take the next step out of inertia, believing that it will appear again.

As I grow older, the giant shadow becomes smaller, and my goal also becomes smaller.

When the sun is at its highest point, my shadow is right under my feet, as if I have caught the shadow, but that goal is so small that it is behind me a moment later.

It turns out that all this is caused by the sunlight, so I start to follow the sun, but it hurts so much. I continue to follow it by faith.

When the sun is about to set, the evening scenery is so brilliant and colorful, but it is a pity that my day's journey is about to end.

When I lie down, my shadow also disappears!
