I have seen the sun break through
to illuminate a small field for a while,
and gone my way an forgotten it.
But that was the pearl of great price,
the one field that had treasure in it.
I realize now that I must give all that
I have to possess it.
Life is not hurryingon to a receding future, nor hankering after an imagined past.
It is the turning aside like
Moses to the miracle of the lit bush,
to a brightness that seemed as
transitory as your youth once,
but is the eternity that awaits you.
我看到那一瞬间，
太阳穿刺云层
照亮了一片大地。
而我在前行的途中遗失了它。
但那是高贵的珍珠是藏宝的大地。
我意识到必须倾尽所有去拥有它。
生命不是赶往一个不断远去的未来，
亦不是渴求一个想象中的过去。
它就如引导摩西走向那奇迹般燃烧的灌木丛，引导你走向那青春一般短暂的光明，而那就是一直等待你的永恒。
