小靈魂與太陽（中英雙語版）

《小靈魂與太陽》（中文版）

很久很久以前，有一個小靈魂，他對神說：「我知道我是誰了！」

於是，神說：「那真是太好了！那麼你是誰呢？」

小靈魂大聲地說：「我是光啊！」

神大笑了起來，並大聲地說：「沒錯！你就是光。」

小靈魂覺得非常高興，因為他為神的國度裡所有還在尋找答案的靈魂找到了答案。「哇，這真是太好了！」

但是很快地，小靈魂覺得知道自己是誰還不夠，他的內心有些激動，現在，他想「是」自己。於是，小靈魂來到神的身邊，他說：「嗨，神！現在，我知道我是誰了，那麼我可不可以是自己呢？」

於是神說：「你的意思是，你想是『已經是的你』嗎？」

「嗯，」小靈魂回答，「知道自己是誰是一回事；是真正的自己又是另一回事。我想感覺一下『光』到底像什麼？」

「但是，你已經是光了。」神一邊重複，一邊又笑了起來。

「沒錯。但是，我想知道那感覺像什麼。」小靈魂大聲說著。

「嗯，」神咯咯地笑著說，

「我早該知道你總是喜歡冒險了。」然後，神的表情變了：「只是有一件事⋯⋯」

「什麼事？」小靈魂問道。

ONCE UPON NO TIME there was a Little Soul who said to God, “I know who I am!” And God said, “That’s wonderful! Who are you?” And the Little Soul shouted, “I’m the Light!” God smiled a big smile. “That’s right!” God exclaimed. “You are the Light.” The Little Soul was so happy, for it had figured out what all the souls in the Kingdom were there to figure out. “Wow,” said the Little Soul, “this is really cool!”

But soon, knowing who it was was not enough. The Little Soul felt stirrings inside, and now wanted to be who it was. And so the Little Soul went back to God (which is not a bad idea for all souls who want to be Who They Really Are) and said, “Hi, God! Now that I know Who I Am, is it okay for me to be it?” And God said, “You mean you want to be Who You Already Are?” “Well,” replied the Little Soul, “it’s one thing to know Who I Am, and another thing altogether to actually be it. I want to feel what it’s like to be the Light!” “But you already are the Light,” God repeated, smiling again. “Yes, but I want to see what that feels like!” cried the Little Soul. “Well,” said God with a chuckle, “I suppose I should have known. You always were the adventuresome one.” Then God’s expression changed. “There’s only one thing...” “What?” asked the Little Soul.
