Traveling at Home by Wendell Berry

Even in a country you know by heart

it’s hard to go the same way twice.

The life of the going changes.

The chances change and make a new way.

Any tree or stone or bird

can be the bud of a new direction. The

natural correction is to make intent

of accident. To get back before dark

is the art of going.

居家旅行

即使在你熟悉的鄉下

也很難重複同樣的路，

因為生命旅程在變化。

機遇的改變開拓出新路，

任何一塊石頭，一隻鳥

或一顆樹，都可能成為

新走向的蓓蕾嶄露。

大自然的矯正是為了

讓事件受到關注。

能在天黑前返回家園

才是行走的藝術。
