學會寬恕 Forgiveness

quoted Special Issue 1 April, 2010 pp21-26 few lines only

彼得再次來到這個熟悉的大湖,以前他曾在這裏度過大部分光陰。船兒吱吱嘎嘎的聲音,海浪拍打船邊的響聲,還有粗糙的魚網握在掌心的感覺,這一切都來得那麼親切,那麼熟悉。那個晚上,他有沒有想過,既然(老師)在地上的職務已經結束,他自己以後的日子應該怎麼過呢?他想回復以前做漁夫時那種平靜簡單的生活嗎?
Once again, Peter found himself on the lake where he had spent much of his earlier life. The creaking of the boat, the lapping of the waves, the feel of the coarse nets in his hands must all have seemed comfortingly familiar.Did he wonder that night just how he should direct his life now that teacher's earthly ministry was over? Did the simple life of a fisherman beckon?
