Lessons lost in time
“聞起來好香！”
{“That smells delicious!”} exclaimed James as he entered the room. The aroma of fish stew filling the air.
Chunhau smiled and bowed her head in gratitude.
Bohai smiled walking over to him.
“詹姆斯閉上眼睛，告訴我你看到了什麼？”
{“Close your eyes James and tell me what you see?”} requested Bohai.
“閉著眼睛渤海，我什麼也看不見！”
{“With my eyes closed Bohai, I will not be able to see anything!”} James giggled.
“嘗試。”
{“Try.”} smiled Bohai
James closed his eyes.
“現在您可以看到香氣了嗎？ 你能嚐嚐嗎？ 您能感覺到嘴裡魚的肉質嗎？ 您能聽到我們準備飯菜的聲音嗎？”
{“Now can you see the aroma? Can you taste it? Can you feel the succulence of the fish in your mouth? Can you hear the sound of our meal being prepared?”}
“看到，感覺，味道，氣味，聽覺，結合智慧使我們對詹姆斯的許多事情都了解。”
{“Seeing, feeling, taste, smell, hearing, combine wisdom to give us understanding for many things James.”}
“借助開明的智慧，我們可以看到魚在寧靜的水域中游泳。 在古老的海洋課程中呼吸。”
“你能和詹姆斯魚一起旅行以了解它現在給我們的禮物嗎？”
{“With enlightened wisdom we can watch the fish as it swims in tranquil waters. Breathing in ancient lessons of the oceans.”
“Can you travel with the fish James to understand the gift it now gives us?”}
“在所有事物中，都有更深刻的理解可供發現。”
{“In all things there is a deeper understanding to discover.”}
“就像微風一樣，不只是； 微風。
對於那些睜開眼睛的人來說，可以看到，感覺到，聞到，聽到它，並且在其中，您可以品嚐到自然呼吸的甜蜜。
一塊岩石不只是一塊岩石， 一片葉子，而不僅僅是一片葉子； 一朵花，而不僅僅是一朵花； 樹枝，而不僅僅是樹枝； 聲音開始在某個地方被聽到。”
{“Just as a breeze, is not just; a breeze.
To those whose eyes are opened it can be seen, felt, smelled, heard and in it, you can taste the sweetness of nature’s breath.
A rock is not just a rock; a leaf, not just a leaf; a flower, not just a flower; a twig, not just a twig; and a sound begins somewhere to be heard.”}
James opened his eyes smiling at the wise old man.
“謝謝渤海”
{“Thank you Bohai”} James said, humbled with gratitude.
