于匆忙中清静片刻
荷叶/译
清静片刻。
倾听周围的世界。感觉自己的呼吸。倾听自己的思绪。观察周围的细节。
于清静中感到平和。
在当今世界，活动和运动是默认模式，如果身体没动，至少我们的大脑在动，我们在关注着。我们终日匆忙，做事，谈话，发邮件，收发信息，从一个页面到另一页面，一个链接到另一链接地点击着。
我们总在忙，联系着，思考着，谈论着。没有片刻清静，终日坐在抓狂的电脑前，然后坐在多动的电视前，这都不能视为清静。
忙碌是要付出代价的，我们不再观察，不再倾听，失去了深思，失去了宁静。
更糟的是：终日匆忙往往事与愿违。我知道，在我们所处的社会中，行为是极其重要的，不作为被视为懒散，被动和无所事事。然而，有时行为过度还不如一事不做。你可以跑来跑去，大喊大叫，疯狂暴怒，但什么事也做不成。你也可以做成很多事，但一件也不重要。你还可以因做事而把 局面搞糟，还不如根本就不行动。
当我们被迫静止时，当我们在排队等候时，当我们等医生看病时，当我们坐在公交或火车上时，我们常常会烦躁不安，我们需要找点事做。一些人带上可移动设备，一些人带上笔记本或文件夹来读或处理，还有一些人会坐立不安。清静不是我们习惯的状态。
拿出片刻时间来思考一下你的日子是如何度过的，工作中，工作后，准备去工作，晚上还有周末。你是否总是匆匆忙忙？你是否总在读信息、回信息、核实新闻和最新消息？你是否总是试图做许多事情，像机器一样把完成的任务一样一样从清单上勾掉，仓促处理着自己的日程安排？
这就是你想要度过自己生命的方式吗？
如果是，祝你安宁。如果不是，请清静片刻。不要去想你不得不做的事情，也不要想你已经做过的事情。要活在此刻。
片刻之后，默想你的生活，你想要它成为什么样子。让生活中少一点运动，少做点事，少一点匆忙，多一点清静，多一点深思，多一点安宁。
然后，定格在这个画面。
实际上，这很简单。你所需要做的只是每天静坐片刻。一旦习惯，每天试着少做点事。当感觉自己动得太快时，深呼吸。慢下来。活在当下。从此时此刻中寻找幸福，而不是等待幸福的到来。

Be still. Just for a moment. Listen to the world around you. Feel your breath coming in and going out. Listen to your thoughts.See the details of your surroundings. Be at peace with being still. In this modern world, activity and movement are the default modes, if not with our bodies thenat least with our minds, with our attention. We rush around all day, doing things, talking, emailing, sending and reading messages, clicking from browser tab to the next, one link to the next. We are always on,always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no time forstillness -- and sitting in front of a frenetic computer all day, and then infront of the hyperactive television, doesn't count as stillness. This comes at acost: we lose that time for contemplation, for observing and listening. We lose peace. And worse yet: allthe rushing around is often counterproductive. I know, in our society action isall-important -- inaction is seen as lazy and passive and unproductive.However, sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, all sound and fury, but get nothing done. Or you can get a lotdone -- but nothing important. Or you can hurt things with your actions, makethings worse than if you'd stayed still. And when we are forced tobe still -- because we're in line for something, or waiting at a doctor's appointment, or on a bus or train -- we often get antsy, and need to findsomething to do. Some of us will have our mobile devices, others will have a notebook or folder with things to do or read, others will fidget. Being still isn't something we're used to. Take a moment to think about how you spend your days -- at work, after work, getting ready forwork, evenings and weekends. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering messages, checking on the news and the latest stream of information? Are you always trying to Get Lots of Things Done, ticking off tasks from your list like a machine, rushing through your schedule? Is this how you want to spend your life? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be still. Don't think about what you have to do，or what you've done already. Just be in the moment. Then after a minute or two of doing that, contemplate your life, and how you'd like it to be. See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more contemplation, more peace. Then be thatvision. It's pretty simple,actually: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day. Onceyou've gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too fast. Slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of waiting for it. Savor the stillness. It's a treasure, and it's available to us, always.
