Gratitude 1 for Every Single Moment of Life    感激生活的每一刻

莱斯特•伯翰姆:我常听人说人临死前的一瞬间,他的整个一生都会闪现在眼前。首先那一瞬间根本就不是一秒一刻。那一瞬间绵延无限,象是时间的海洋。对我而言,那一瞬间就是在男孩训练营仰卧看星星坠落;看黄叶从枫树上飘落,洒满街头;或看奶奶的手,那像纸一样的皮肤。我以为对于发生在自己身上的事会很恼怒,但这世界充满美丽,我又怎能忿忿不休。有时候,我觉得一下子看到了全部,太多太多。整颗心鼓涨得像个气球,随时都会爆破。然后我记得要放松,不要过于执著。然后,它就像雨水流过我身上,我没别的感觉,只觉得对我这愚蠢的一生中的每一刻时光充满感激。我肯定你不会知道我在说什么,但不用担心,有一天你会的
