穀雨至，萬物開始挺立。
最平易的，其實也最繁華。
With Grain Rain,
all things come to stand.
What is simplest
is also
most abundant.

｜茁壯
我學會了脫下自己的美麗，默默等待，
當有一個美麗的日子，我將慎重穿上。
卻一直不曾出現那一天。
我以為是我等著時間，
卻沒發現是時間等待著我。
等待我，終於了然，
我並非因為這一切而美麗，
而是我使得這一切美麗。
等待我，終於覺得自己值得，
昂然活出自己，最美麗的樣子。

Seasoning — Inner Alignment
Grain Rain — Thriving
I learned
to take off my beauty,
and wait—
quietly—
for a beautiful day
to wear it again.
But that day
never came.
Until I saw—
it was not I
waiting for time,
but time
waiting for me.
Waiting for me to realize:
I am not made beautiful
by what surrounds me—
I am the one
who makes it so.
I am not made worthy
by what I receive—
I have always been.
And so,
I rise—
living, at last,
as the most beautiful way
I can be.
穀雨一候｜平凡
剛開始，我努力想和別人一樣，所以我不停羨慕著，我沒有的。
後來，我努力想和別人不一樣，所以我不停厭棄著，我擁有的。
在生活裡輾轉徘徊起伏漂泊，我終於明白，無論如何，我都是眾人之一。
惶惶發現如此渴望被幫助。不同卻無力的劇本，原來我們都一樣。
無意中到處幫助了別人，原來我們都努力，讓一切不一樣。
漸漸成為真正可靠的人。成為自己的幸福，成為別人的幸運。
或許，最終只是盡忠職守，任何被生命分配到的平凡位置，如一盞盞接連的路燈，剛好亮起。
甘於平凡，原是最不平凡的事。

Grain Rain · First Phase
— Commonplace
At first,
I tried to be like others,
longing for what I did not have.
Then,
I tried to be unlike them,
rejecting what was already mine.
Carried through the turning of living—
drifting, rising, falling—
I came to see, at last:
no matter how I move,
I remain one among many.
What I thought was mine alone—
this helpless, struggling story—
is shared by all.
And how deeply
we all long to be helped.
Without knowing,
we begin to hold others—
and in holding,
find ourselves held.
Little by little,
we become someone
others can lean into—
a quiet ground
beneath our own feet,
and an open sky
where others can breathe.
Perhaps in the end,
it is only this:
to stand where life places us—
like streetlights along the road,
each coming into light
in its own time.
To stand at ease
in the commonplace—
is no commonplace thing.
