Being Peaceful by Myself

by Ying Deng-Klein

My years are ageing me, easy in mind.
I've seen through the world, gradually,
Now, I know that freedom and inner peace
are the most important.

The freedom and inner peace
they're a heart
at its best,
just enjoyable for one person.

I love this quiet time very much,
throwing the noise aside,
to seek a quiet life
to seek blank space from Chinese painting.

English translated by Chen Zihong

独享安宁

邓瑛

岁月渐老，心渐淡。
慢慢看透了世事，
才知自由与安宁
最重要。

自由与安宁，
是一颗心
最好的状态，
只宜一人独享。

爱极这静处的时光，
摒弃噪杂，
寻求宁静
美似水墨画里的留白。.
