歲月是個雕刻家，找不到你的靈魂的時候，就雕刻你的手

　　為什麼總是望著窗前的樹發呆，伸出你的左手，那是遠方，打開高處的窗，用你的右手托起夢的翅膀，你會看到藍天的鳥兒在飛翔，你會看到遠處的大山在歌唱，你還會看到河流裡流著你期待已久的夢想。再多的迷茫也被風煙吹散，因為你的左手永遠在右手的身旁。

　　為什麼不肯釋懷，伸出你的左手，那是快樂，覆在你的右手上，那是往日的傷痛，再多的傷痛都可以掩埋。

　　為什麼總是那麼的悲哀，伸出你的左手，那是你的愛人，包住你的右手上，那是脆弱中的你，再多的挫折都可以挺過。

　　為什麼總是看著殘缺的東西，伸出你的左手，那是另一半，合著你的右手，那是你的一半，只是沒有比心更好的形狀。有時候也許你殘缺的就是一顆完整的心。

　　如果你真的困惑，請攤開你的雙手，整個世界在你的手上，還有什麼看不清楚。

　　如果你真的貧窮，請攤開你的雙手，什麼都沒有，什麼也都有。你的思想長在手的線上，你的希望延伸自你的指尖上，你的經歷被雕刻在厚厚的繭上。有時候人在一無所有的時候恰恰纔知道自己的財富有多少。

　　假如有一天，你丟失了愛情，請打開你的雙手，左手是過去，右手是未來，合在一起，中間的就是你自己的現在。你在一開一合中存在，所以又有什麼悲哀，過去的總是一面，未來的纔另一面。請不要讓右手孤單，生命沒有太多的時間浪費在開合之間。過去了就把它合上，開始新的詩篇。

　　Why are you gazing lonely trees outside of window, reach out your left hand which is the distance, open the high window, and use your right to free your dream, then you will see the flying birds on the sky, enjoy songs of distant mountains, and also you will find out your longing dream. No amount of the confusing could live with the flowing wind for your right hand is always beside your left.

　　Why are you so clung to the past, reach out your left hand which is happiness, and make it on the right which is the pain for the last, no more pain could exist with comfort.

　　Why are so sad, reach out your left hand which is your lover, and make it covered your right which is yourself tender, no more frustration could be remained with love.

　　Why are you looking at the broken things, reach out your left which is the other part, and make it with your right hand which is one part, no other shapes is better than the round. Sometimes what a cripple for you is just a whole soul.

　　If you」re really confused, open your hands, make the entire world in your hands, and any things at sea in your eyes?

　　If you」re poor, open your hands, nothing on, while all the things on. Your thoughts live in your hand lines; your hope is extending between the fingers, and your experience also carved in the cocoon. Sometimes it」s just when you」re poor you can make sure of your fortune.

　　If one day you lost your love, open your hands, the left is the past, the right is the future, and make the twice the whole, where there is yourself between the opening and closing, so that no sadness for the past is one part and the future is the other only. Pls don」t make the right hand alone, for the life hasn」t much more time to waste. Since you」ve got it, you should have new pages.
