若云如人，人若云，我们是否都应该去飘，感受风的力量，而不是让我们扎根这里。或许只有飘动起来，我们才能向天高歌。我们是人海里的过客，就让我们一起呼吸着微风的气息，在其中寻找我们精神的根，长成快乐的大树。

好英文娓娓动听 Words and Expressions
I've opened the curtain of my east window here above the computer，and I sit now in a holy theater before a sky-blue stage.A little cloud above the neighbor's trees resembles Jimmy Durante's nose for a while，then becomes amorphous as it slips on north.Other clouds follow，big and little and tiny on their march toward whereness.Wisps of them lead or droop because there must always be leading and drooping.
The trees seem to laugh at the clouds while yet reaching for them with swaying branches.[A]Trees must think that they are real，rooted，somebody，and that perhaps the clouds are only tickled water which sometimes bIocks their sun.But trees are clouds，too，of green leaves-clouds that only move a little.Trees grow and change and dissipate like their airborne cousins.
And what am I but a cloud of thoughts and feelings and aspirations？Don'tI put out tentative mists here and there？Don'tI occasionally appear to other people as a ridiculous shape of thoughts without my intending to？[B]Don't I drift toward the north when I feel the breezes of love and the warmth of compassion？
If clouds are beings，and beings are clouds，are we not all well advised to drift，to feel the wind tucking us in here and pIucking us out there？Are we such rock-hard bodily Iumps as we imagine？
Drift，let me.Sing to the sky，will I.One in many，are we.[C]Let us breathe the breeze and flnd therein our roots in the spirit.

[A]The story is told of two boys who were walking through a field and found some corn seeds scattered across the ground.They each took one of the seeds home and planted it.
When the flrst boy didn't see a tiny sprout after the second day，he dug up the seed to see if it had sprouted.Each day he dug up the seed and repIanted it，but the corn would not grow.The seed had germinated；yet the boy had not allowed it to maintain contact with the soil，take root，and obtain nutrients.So，it died.
[B]The second boy planted his seed and left it alone.He imagined a tall staIk of corn where he had planted the seed.He waited patiently as rains came and sunshine bathed the ground with warmth.In ten days，a small sprout had broken through the ground，its curled leaves reaching toward the sky.
