望著路口紅燈後車子徐徐而行！

中午 約朋友在 101 大樓頂層的餐廳吃飯 見腳底道路中，汽車似鴨子在水面上悠緩划行！

再從更高處往下看

Seeing the Voice

I walk on the mountain trail.

Suddenly, a car recklessly passes by in front of me!

Early in the morning, I smell the breakfast tea on the eighteenth-floor balcony, Seeing cars slowly proceeding after they stop at the traffic lights!

At noon, my friends and I have lunch at the restaurant on the top-floor of Taipei 101.

I see cars slowly moving on the roads under my feet as if they were ducks leisurely paddling on the water!

Then I look down from a higher place…

從太陽系邊緣 從銀河系邊緣．．．．． 這時 我看到了 『我、我的列祖列宗及子孫們』 都在同一時空裡

From the edge of the Solar System, from the edge of the Galactic System…

At this moment, I see “myself, my ancestors, and my descendants” existing

那 是我們的原點

in the same space-time.

當我們從初始分開後；未知、黑暗、恐懼、孤獨，成了與生俱來的 生物宿命！

That is our origin.

Since we separated from the initial start, the unknown, darkness, fear, and

proceed forward.

However, where is the spirit?

In the middle of the night, I hear the calling from the depth of the Universe.

I look up at the sky, and I see the voice!
