同行的朋友你好,我是严喆。好久好久不见,正在收听节目的你最近都还好吗?
今天的节目里我想和大家分享一首诗 Remember 是由美国本土女诗人,音乐家,剧作家Joy Harjo创作的。Joy通过这首诗阐释了人和万物生灵亲密无间的关系,语言清新易懂,蕴意却深长。想跟大家分享这首诗的初衷也是因为观察到身边的朋友每天都非常忙碌,为了生活而奔波,为了家庭而奋斗,为了自己的理想努力坚持。我想我们能做的就是彼此打气,在这个纷闹喧嚣的世界里找到自己内心的那一方净土,但在这个过程中我们也不要忘了要慢下来,停下来,去听一听鸟鸣,闻一闻花香,摸一摸大树。接下来请在听节目的你试着停下忙碌的脚步,静心下来,我读给你听。
Remember
