這是北美印第安Blackfoot部落酋長Ispwo Mukika Crowfoot (1783-1850)的臨終遺言。生命只是一個稍縱即逝的瞬間,與大自然生息與共的印第安人似乎更明白這一點。在Crowfoot即將永遠閉上的雙眼中,生命這個瞬間,依然很美麗……
A little while and
I will be gone from among you,
From nowhere we come;
Into nowhere we go.
What is life?
It is a flash of a firefly
In the night.
It is a breath of a buffalo
In the winter time.
It is the little shadow
That runs across the grass
And loses itself in the sunset.
