"Thank you" were the two simple words

就像我腦中的音樂， 充滿了我的兩耳之間。

This was experienced profoundly during the pandemic,

在疫情期間，這種感受很深刻，

as everyone connected to me

因為和我連結的每個人

was filled with fear and doubt and anxiety,

都滿是恐懼、懷疑、焦慮，

and I had to do something different.

我得用不同的做法。

The first thought came to my mind, first thing in the morning as I woke up,

我早上醒來的第一個念頭

was, "Thank you."

就是「謝謝」。

And the last thought occupied my mind when I went to sleep at night

在我晚上入睡前， 佔據我腦袋的最後一個想法

was, "Thank you."

也是「謝謝」。

無論是吃飯、喝水、工作、 走路時、靜靜坐著時，

I was thinking, "Thank you"

when I ate, when I drank, when I worked,

when I walked, sat silently,

或是消費所有人造物品時，

when I consumed every man-made material.

我總是想著「謝謝」。

It was like a music in my mind.

那就像是我腦中的音樂。

Sometimes I said the word "thank you" loudly

有時，我甚至是對著 無生命的物體說「謝謝」，

even to inanimate objects like sun and the moon and the stars,

像是太陽、月亮、星星、

birds, butterflies, trees,

鳥、蝴蝶、樹木、花園中的小生物，

little creatures in the garden

as if I was greeting them.

似乎是在跟它們打招呼。

When you say "thank you,"

當你說「謝謝」時，

it creates a harmony between you

這兩個字會在你 與眼見的外在條件之間

and the external condition under observation.

創造出一種和諧。

It helps you to bring your attention inwards.

It may be initially just a word running in your head

一開始，它可能只是 你腦海中的幾個字，

without a true feeling of gratitude in your heart.

你還沒有感受到發自內心的感激。

A word is a sound,

字就是聲音，

and a sound is a vibration,

聲音就是震動，

and vibration creates energy.

震動能創造能量。

So when you keep thinking, "Thank you,"

所以當你持續想著「謝謝」，

after a while, that energy start penetrating

一陣子之後，那能量會開始滲入

into your heart center and the rest of the body.

你的心中以及身體其他地方。

We cannot do much about troubled times and conditions in life,

我們無法改變

混亂的時代及生活中的境況，

but we certainly can do something to calm ourselves during troubled times.

但在混亂的時代我們肯定可以

做點什麼來讓我們自己平靜下來。

Human mind is like water.

and you cannot see the depth.

你就看不見水面下的東西。
