这些图片是积少成多地收藏的, 已搞不清出处.
今天想到以这个名目分类, 就有了分享的动力.

整理,分组,甚至排序的过程, 都是乐趣! 赏心悦目!

又想到我正在看的新书:《当下的觉醒》Stillness Speaks.
其中第七章《自然》与此篇主题颇有呼应.
抄几段中英对照穿插于图片之间, 与各位共勉!

[We depend on nature not only for our physical survival. We also need nature to show us the way home, the way out of the prison of our own minds. We got lost in doing, thinking, remembering, anticipating -- lost in a maze of complexity and a world of problems.

We have forgotten what rocks, plants, and animals still know. We have forgotten how to be -- to be still, to be ourselves, to be where life is:  Here and Now.
 
我们依赖自然, 不仅是为了肉体活存的需要, 也是为了让它指引我们走出心智囚笼, 回归本性. 我们迷失在不停地做,不停地想,不停地记存,不停地期待之中, 我们迷失在一个错综复杂的迷宫和问题重重的世界之中.

我们遗忘了那些岩石,植物,动物都还知道的事. 我们遗忘了如何去活---如何寂静下来; 如何做自己; 如何回归生命的本质---就在此地与当下.]

[Watch an animal, a flower, a tree, and see how it rests in Being.  It is itself.  It has enormous dignity, innocence, and holiness.  However, for you to see that, you need to go beyond the mental habit of naming and labeling.  The moment you look beyond mental labels, you feel that ineffable dimension of nature that cannot be understood by thought or perceived through the senses.  It is a harmony, a sacredness that permeates not only the whole of nature but is also within you.

凝视一只动物, 一朵花, 一棵树, 观看它如何安住于本体之中. 它就是它自己, 拥有极大的庄严,纯真与神圣.  然而, 若你想看到这一切, 就必须超越为自然命名与归类的心理习惯, 当你跨越标签式的观看, 那一刻, 你将感受到自然里一种难以名状的层面, 那层面无法透过思考去了解, 也无法通过感官去感受, 它是一种和谐, 一种不仅弥漫于整个自然之中, 同时也充满于你内在的神圣.]

[Only when you are still inside do you have access to the realm of stillness that rocks, plants, and animals inhabit.  Only when your noisy mind subsides can you connect with nature at a deep level and go beyond the sense of separation created by excessive thinking.
 
唯有内在寂静下来, 你才可能真正进入岩石,植物,动物所安住的寂照之中;  唯有喧闹的心智沉静了, 你才可能摆脱过度思考所带来的分离感, 并在内心深处与自然真正连结.]

[Nature can bring you to stillness.  That is its gift to you.  When you perceive and join with nature in the field of stillness, that field becomes permeated with your awareness.  That is your gift to nature.
 
Through you nature becomes aware of itself.  Nature has been waiting for you, as it were, for millions of years.
 
自然可以引你来到寂照之境, 那是它送给你的礼物.  当你于此寂照中, 深刻感受并与自然相结合之后, 那里将充满了你的觉性, 那是你送给自然的礼物.
 
透过你, 自然觉察到它自己. 千万年来, 自然一直在等待着你.]
