Fragments with children, in simple everyday moments.

1

若只如
初见

As If Always
the First Meeting

看孩子们玩耍、争抢，
又很快重新一起笑。

Watching children play, quarrel,
and return to laughter moments later.

有时像是在看一场戏。

Sometimes it feels like watching a play.

不是抽离地看，
而是知道什么时候需要走上舞台，
什么时候只是让场景自然流动。

Not from a distance,
but sensing when to step in,
and when the scene can simply unfold.

很久以前，
看到他们的冲突会紧张。

Long ago,
their conflicts would bring tension.

担心关系会断裂，
担心需要新的朋友，
担心情绪会留下痕迹。

There were worries
that friendships might break,
that new companions would be needed,
that emotions might leave marks.

现在再看，
只是一些短暂的波动。

Now they appear
as passing waves.

在他们的世界里，
冲突不会停留太久。

In their world,
conflict does not stay long.

一幕结束，
舞台的光已经换了。

One scene ends,
and the light on the stage has already changed.

没有谁是主角。

No one is the protagonist.

只是生命在不同角色之间流动。

Life simply moves
through different roles.

若只如初见。

As if every meeting
were the first.

Simple
Enough

简单

Sometimes a thought appears:

How can this simplicity
be kept?

有时会生出一个念头：

如何维持
那一份简单。

Yet the moment it arises,
it is already clear—

但念头刚刚升起，
已经看见——

The wish to maintain it
has already complicated it.

想要维持，
已经让它变得复杂。

The flow
never needed maintenance.

那份流动
从来不需要被维持。

So what remains
is a small smile.

于是只剩下一点点笑意。

And a quiet admission—

还有一句——

Nothing more to say.

真是无语。

一扇小窗

A Small Window
in Ordinary Life

只是很普通地聊着孩子。

We were simply talking about the children.

关于他们的玩耍、争抢，
以及那些短暂的情绪。

About their play, their conflicts

their brief emotions.

不知什么时候，
话题轻轻转向了另一件事。

Somewhere along the way,
the conversation gently shifted.

伴侣说：

也许还有一些情绪
需要表达。

My partner said:

Perhaps there are still emotions
that need to be expressed.

否则它们会挡在那里。

Otherwise they stand in the way.

挡在什么前面？

In the way of what?

挡在完全体验当下的前面。

In the way of fully experiencing the present.

那一刻有一点安静。

For a moment, there was quiet.

没有谁在解释什么。

No one was explaining anything.

只是突然看见
生活里这样一扇小小的窗。

Just suddenly seeing
a small window open in the middle of life.

从孩子的世界
轻轻通向临在。

From the children's world
gently opening into presence.

这一切并不是被安排的。

None of it had been arranged.

只是发生。

It simply happened.

这一刻
是谁在发生

Who Is Happening
in This Moment

The child becomes restless.

孩子忽然躁动起来。

Moving back and forth,
a current running through the body.

来回走动，
身体里像有一股停不下来的能量。

I do not intervene immediately.

我没有马上做什么。

I simply watch.

只是看着。

Then suddenly
something becomes still.

忽然有一刻
一切像定住了一样。

As if time paused
for a breath.

像时间轻轻停了一下。

In that moment it becomes difficult to tell:

这一刻很难分辨：

who exactly
this is happening to.

是谁在发生。

Is the restlessness
in the child?

这份躁动
是在孩子身上？

Or within me?

还是在我之内？

Or simply appearing

in the space between us.

又或者
只是出现在这个场里。

There is no answer.

没有答案。

Only the boundaries
become very light.

只是界线
突然变得很轻。

Like the surface of water
softly moving.

像水面轻轻晃动。

And then
life continues.
