我們在一起
成都美視學校小學部語文教師　　紀嵐
見到大家安然健康地回到美視這個家園里，我們所有的老師心底里由衷地高興：真好，見到了你——孩子，見到了你——小乖乖！真好——我們在一起。
今天是5月26日，是“５．１２”大災難過去兩周的日子。此刻，我們在一起，因為血脈相連的心中有著深切的同情，因為大愛無疆里有一份溫暖與堅定，需要我們用力所能及的方式去傳遞。
當然，我們在一起，還有著更為重要的意義：鼓勵他人的同時，我們也在激勵自己。災難的陰霾劃過每個人的心頭，我們與身邊的人共同經歷著、體驗著。今天的我們，心中應該會有更深的啟示與對生命的警醒。對于學習者也好，成年人也好，這是一次精神上的洗禮，更是一次心理成長中重大而高尚的學習。
我們在一起，學習面對，學會珍惜。看著熟悉的校園祥和安寧，看著身旁的良師益友與知己，想想自己擁有的健康與呵護吧。因為珍惜，才會發(fā)現(xiàn)屬于自己的幸福從未離去，真的觸手可及。
因為珍惜，我們心存感激。珍惜這份幸福吧，感激為自己成長付出艱辛勞動的父母、師長以及所有的人們；珍惜這如水般流走的光陰呵，那么一定會感激過去、現(xiàn)在以及未來的時光中令我們快樂健康的一切原因：也許是沉默的樹、微笑的花，是啾啾歌唱的小鳥、潺潺流動的小溪，甚至是那些靜靜工作在崗位上的背影，還是那鐘擺正催促著你我更好、更堅定地前行，從不停息……
我們在一起，請伸出你的手握住你身邊的同伴。我們每個人這平凡的雙手必定不同，或者寬大或者嬌小，或者柔嫩或者有力，但是借著雙手傳遞的力量都來自熱血沸騰的心靈，那是一份堅韌的毅力，是一份面對困難的勇氣，是一片對未來充滿希望的愿景。輕輕地握住彼此的雙手，請相信，在給予他人溫暖的同時，也在重新塑造著堅強勇敢的自己。
因為珍惜著這樣的緣分，因為內心深處涌動的感恩，就因為健康快樂的成長本身就是生命中最重要的意義——因為，我們在一起。
那么，請握緊彼此的手，告訴他人也告訴自己：我們永遠在一起！

After some weeks’ confusion, we are here again without much change in appearance. Legs, arms and all what we owned still belong to us, except that our minds have already been changed by what we have heard, seen and felt since the day of May 12th.
You might wonder why here, why this time, and why those innocent people who did nothing, deserve suffering. I will not say it was an accident nor a matter of being lucky or unlucky. We all have different ways in which we are destined to end up with. And this recent event was just another inevitable end, for those people who died under the earthquake. There’s no such problem as “supposed to be or not supposed to be.” It was their way of ending, and ours we will meet.
However, still remaining here, we have the responsibility to carry on our own performing our fates and to proving that as things pass, love and hope can never die away. We have been shocked and have been shaken, as a result we all should be awaken. What the earthquakes brought is not a tragedy but a test of the whole world’s humanity. Through helping, giving, and encouraging, again we find the value of our existence.
Why should we care about somebody we don’t have any relationships with? Because this is the reason why a human being deserves to have a soul. Why is sharing our own assets with somebody who might not requite the right thing? Because our house did not fall and it isour duty.
Disasters seem to be horrible, but they have, indeed, given humans the chance to re-think, re-learn, and re-build the faith in each other and the virtues that had almost been forgotten among the coldness of this skewed generation. We also got the chance to witness that beauty can still be grown from a broken heart. People being physically and mentally injured will use their privilege to exhibit an amazing resilience and witness the incredible miracles that can happen in human lives. Suffering forges, molds, and strengthens us. Despite the loss, it cultivates great tenacity, great patience, and greater wisdom in us. Appreciate the awesomeness of the nature, see beyond the earthquakes’ destruction. Recognize amazing true stories about beautiful humanity miracles that are also going to be told.? All the bitter, you taste, will only make the upcoming sweeter and sweeter. What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.
We have the right to have fear, but please remember that lights will always recover from the darkest despair. There is no time for remorse for people who won’t come back. They had already done all what they should do on Earth. Although their end came tough, they still finished their missions, regardless of the length, it was a good job. And again, for us who have not yet finished our vocation, let’s be the lights that can’t be snuffed out in day nor night. That’s the reason why we are still here, alive.

在板塊喘息的間歇中，我們又健全地帶著本來就屬于我們的腿與手臂回到這里。除了也許忘了刮的胡子及沒空剪而變了型的頭發(fā)，我們的外表是一如往昔，但相信大家都意識到，我們的內心早自五月十二日那天，就被所聽、所見及所感受的震撼，改變了。也許有人會懷疑：為什么偏偏在這里？為什么偏偏這個時候？為什么是那些也許一輩子不偷不搶不貪污的無辜人民被壓又被埋。我不會說這是個意外，也不認為這是幸運或不幸運的問題。地球上廣大的人民自有自己注定遇到的結局。而這次眾所皆知的災難，也就只是那上萬人民一起遭遇的另一個不可避免的人生終點。沒有應不應該或配不配，總有一天我們也會以各種不同的方式畫上句點。
但在那之前，我們有責任盡所能地繼續(xù)背負我們進行中的人生，也有義務在其中證明愛與希望永遠不會隨事物消逝。一次次地我們被驚嚇、被動搖，因此我們也早應該從短視中被喚醒。地震所帶來的不是一場以哭泣閉幕的悲劇，而是一場令人振奮的人性考驗。在幫助、付出與鼓勵彼此中，我們又重新找到自己實實存在的價值。為什么要關心某位與我們無相干的人士？因為這就是人類除了心之外還擁有靈魂的證據(jù)。又為了什么我們要分享自己的財產給一個也許永遠不會回報的人士？因為這就是我們自己住的住宅還穩(wěn)穩(wěn)地站立著的目的。
在這個幾乎冷漠又人性扭曲的世代，被看似可怕無情的種種天災大難卻總賜給人類重新思考、重新學習并重新建立對彼此的信心及喚醒好德行的機會。我們也因此有機會在其中目睹破碎心靈也能開出美麗花朵的動人見證。身心兩受創(chuàng)的人民也將利用殘缺向世界展現(xiàn)人類驚人的恢復力及許許多多讓人難以置信的奇跡?；茧y磨練我們、塑造我們更大大的強化我們。雖然總有失喪，但患難激發(fā)我們的能耐也教導我們許多智慧甚至哲理。難道你們看不到大自然的奇妙嗎？在地震對人造物的悚人毀壞之上，板塊運動不僅建立了地表上更多的雄偉景觀、促進生物界的循環(huán)，更帶來了許多將被傳頌、關于美好人性的感人故事?？嘧寣⒌絹淼拿鄹稹Р涣四愕闹粫鼓愀鼜妷?。
我們都被賦予恐懼的權利。但是請記得，最黑暗的絕望也必會被光明蓋去。已經沒有多余的時間給我們繼續(xù)為那些回不來的人痛悔了。雖然這些人的結局來得艱苦，他們都實實在在地以血肉之軀完成自己在地球上或長或短的使命。
最后，我再一次地說，讓我們這些使命尚未完成的人一起成為日夜不滅的光，照亮這個依然美麗的世界。這就是為什么我們還站在這里、心臟踴躍地繼續(xù)跳動的理由。
