智慧人生篇章 第8期:春回大地

In the front gardens, even in the rain, I notice thefirst signs of spring and the greyness of winter givingway to small yellow white and purple flowers. Springis rising in all the animals which include us humans.So we smile good mornings to our neighbours andput out food for our fellow creatures. I try to savesome small spiders who’ve climbed up the waterpipes into my bath. I manoeuvre them with myflannel out of the danger zone and put nourishingcake crumbs before them, which terrifies them!Nature isn't always red in tooth and claw. Iremember how birds clean crocodiles' teeth in the Nile, and the orphaned animals and birds inthe Siberian forests who are adopted into the dens and nests of other creatures even otherspecies as Kropotkin witnessed. And I suddenly pray to God not asking for anything, just tothank him for the wonder of waking up in spring which the rabbis called the little resurrection.

即使在雨中，我也能从花园前感受到春回大地的气息，黄黄紫紫的小花取代了冬天那暗沉沉的色调。所有动物，包括我们人类，都能感受到春的临近。因此我们微笑着向邻居们道早安，给小动物们喂食。我想救几只顺着水暖管道爬进我家浴室的小蜘蛛。我用我的法兰绒裤子把它们挪出了危险地带，还在它们面前放了点面包屑，这可把它们吓坏了。大自然并不只有尖牙利爪的血腥。我记得尼罗河上的鸟给鳄鱼清洁牙齿。Kropotkin说，在西伯利亚的丛林里，失沽的幼兽和幼鸟会被同类甚至异类收养。我突然很想向上帝祷告，我无所求，只是想感谢他创造了春天万物苏醒的神奇，拉比称之为复活。
