你的孩子 - 纪伯伦
你的孩子不属于你
他们是生命的渴望
是生命自己的儿女
经由你生 与你相守
却有自己独立的轨迹
给他们爱而不是你的意志
孩子有自己的见地
给他一个栖身的家
不要把他的精神关闭
他们的灵魂属于明日世界
你无从闯入 梦中寻访也将被拒
让自己变得像个孩子
不要让孩子成为你的复制
昨天已经过去
生命向前奔涌
无法回头 川流不息
你是生命之弓 孩子是生命之矢
幸福而谦卑地弯身吧
把羽箭般的孩子射向远方
送往无际的未来
爱——是孩子的飞翔
也是你强健沉稳的姿态
(完)
以下为英文原文:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable. - Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet, Chapter 4
微录阁有感:
我很有幸,有两个孩子,说真的,有的时候,我会发愁怎么教育他们,有的时候,我也会想,他们有他们的天空。纪伯伦大师的诗中表达的,给孩子爱,不要让孩子成为你的复制,对于我这个被传统教育洗过脑,自己知识面又有限的人来说真的是“觉得有理却无从下手”的感觉。
幸好在读到这首诗的时候,还看到了一本《无条件养育》的书,豆瓣评分8.5分,也看到艾玛等人的推荐。《无条件养育》的主题并非局限于管教,从更广泛的意义来讲,它告诉我们如何与孩子相处以及如何看待并感受他们。我已找到这本书的电子书,放在这里(无条件养育在线阅读)学习。为避免不必要的麻烦,电子书为加密阅读,如果你也需要,可以到微录阁公众号发送“无条件养育”获取密码。
