难以说是连续的情节，却被内在一以贯之的的某种东西感动着

每一帧都足以撼动内心最柔软的角落

无我的合一里 舞蹈是信仰 是狂欢 是消弭 是重生

无以言表

If you come to me at this moment

　　Your minutes will become hours

　　Your hours will become days

　　And your days will become a lifetime

　　To the Princess of the Elephants

　　I dissapeared exactly one year ago

　　On that day, I received a letter

　　It called me back to the place where my life with the Elephants began

　　Please forgive me for the silence between us has been unbroken for one year

　　This letter breaks that silence

　　It marks the first of my three hundred and sixty five letters to you

　　One for each day of silence

　　I will never be more myself, than in these letters

　　They are my maps of the bird path

　　And they are all that I know

　　To be true

　　You will remember everything

　　All will be as before

　　In the begining of time, the skies were filled with flying elephants

　　Every night they lay down in the same place in the sky

　　And dreamt with one eye open

　　When you gaze up at the stars at night

　　You are looking into the unblinking eyes of elephants, who sleep with one eye open

　　To best keep watch over us

　　Ever since my house burnt down

　　I see the moon more clearly

　　I gazed upon all the Edens that have fallen in me

　　I saw Edens that I had held in my hands, but let go

　　I saw promises I did not keep

　　Pains I did not sooth

　　Wounds I did not heal

　　Tears I did not shed

　　I saw deaths I did not mourn

　　Prayers I did not answer

　　Doors I did not open

　　Doors I did not close

　　Lovers I left behind

　　And dreams I did not live

　　I saw all that was offered to me, that I could not accept

　　I saw the letters I wished for, but never received

　　I saw all that could have been, but never will be

　　An elephant with his trunk raised is a letter to the stars

　　A breaching whale is a letter from the bottom of the sea

　　These images are a letter to my dreams

　　These letters are my letters to you

　　My heart is like an old house, who's windows have not been opened for years

　　But now I hear the windows opening

　　I remember the cranes floating above the melting snows of the Himalayas

　　Sleeping on tails of manatees

　　The songs of the bearded seals

　　The bark of the zeebra

　　The clicks of the sand

　　The ears of the caracals

　　The sway of the elephants

　　The breaching of whales

　　And the silhouette of the eland

　　I remember the curl of the meerkat's toes

　　Floating on the Ganges

　　Sailing on the Nile

　　Ascending the steps of ****** *****

　　I remember wandering through the corridors of Hatshepsut and the faces of many women

　　Endless seas and thousands of miles of rivers

　　...I remember father to children...

　　...And the taste...I remember...

　　...and the pealing of the peach...

　　I remember everything

　　But I do not remember ever having left

　　remember your dreams

　　remember your dreams

　　remember your dreams

　　remember

　　The longer I watch the Savanna elephants,

　　the more I listen, the more that I open,

　　they remind me of who I am

　　May the guardian elephants hear my wish to collaborate with all the musicians of nature's orchestra

　　I want to see through the eyes of the elephant

　　I want to join the dance that has no steps

　　I want to become the dance

　　I can't tell if you are getting closer or farther away

　　I long for the serenity I found when I looked upon your face

　　Perhaps if your face could be returned to me now,

　　I would find it easier to recover the face I seemed to have lost my own

　　Feather to fire

　　fire to blood

　　blood to bone

　　bone to marrow

　　marrow to ashes

　　ashes to snow

　　The whales do not sing because they have an answer.

　　They sing because they have a song.

　　What matters, is not what is written on the page,

　　what matters, is what is written in the heart.

　　So burn the letters

　　And lay their ashes on the snow

　　At the river's edge

　　When spring comes and the snow melts

　　And the river rizes

　　Return to the banks of the river

　　And reread my letters with your eyes closed

　　Let the words and the images wash over your body like waves

　　Reread the letters, with your hand cupped over your ear

　　Listen to the songs of Eden

　　Page, after page, after page

　　Fly the bird path

　　Fly

　　Fly

　　Fly

此刻，若你到我面前
　　分成时 时成日 而你的一日，成一生
　　
　　致象之公主：
　　我是在整整一年之前离去，那一天，我收到了一封信
　　它把我唤回到我生命里开始有象的地方
　　请原谅我，这一年来让我们之间只有沉默
　　这封信打破沉默，它将是第一封
　　我给你的三百六十五封信的第一封，一封信，为一个沉默的日子
　　
　　在这些信里，我将最是我自己
　　它们是我的地图，描绘飞鸟的徙途
　　它们是我所知道的，通往“真”的全部
　　
　　你将会记住每样东西，所有的，都一如从前
　　在时间的源头，天空满是飞翔的大象
　　每个夜晚，它们都休憩在天空中相同的地方
　　做梦，一只眼睛，却睁开着
　　
　　当你凝视夜幕上的群星，你正望进，那些不眨的眼睛
　　它们是象的，是那些开一目而眠的象的
　　是那些如此以守护我们的大象的
　　
　　自我的屋子被焚尽，我把月亮，看得更清
　　我看见了我内心所有坍塌的伊甸园，那些伊甸园曾就握在我手里，终却失去
　　我看见那些我没有信守的承诺，我没有抚慰的痛苦
　　我没有弥补的伤疡，我没有放任的泪水
　　我看见那些我没有哀悼的死亡，我没有回应的祈祷
　　我没有打开的门，我没有关闭的门
　　还有，我离弃的爱人，和没有实现的梦想
　　我看见了全部那些我没有接受的呈请，我看见了全部那些我希望收到却始终未来的信
　　我看见了全部那些本可以的却再也没有实现的
　　
　　举起鼻子的象是发往群星的信，跃出水面的鲸是寄自海底的信
　　而这些图景是写给我梦想的信，这些信是我，给你的信
　　
　　我的心仿如一座老屋，窗户已多年没有开启，可现在我听见窗户打开了
　　
　　我记起，鹤群在喜玛拉雅的消雪上漂游
　　在海牛的尾鳍上休憩，有须海豹的歌唱
　　斑马的啸嘶，沙砾的喀哒声，狞獾的耳朵
　　象的倾摇、鲸的翔跃、和羚羊的剪影
　　我记起猫鼬脚趾上的卷毛，恒河的流淌
　　尼罗河上的船航、上升的脚步
　　
　　我记起在哈特茜普苏德女王神殿回廊上的徘徊
　　和很多女人的脸，无际的大海和绵延千里的河流
　　...我记起父亲变成孩子......还有那些味道...我记起.....桃子发出的铃响...
　　
　　我记起，所有，可我却不记得我曾经，离去过
　　记住你的梦想，记住你的梦想，记住你的梦想，记住
　　
　　我注视那些草原象越久 ，倾听那些草原象越久
　　我就变得越可汇纳 ，它们提醒我 ，我是谁
　　
　　愿这些守护象听到我的祈望
　　我想要和大自然里所有的管弦乐家合作，我要通过大象的眼睛去看
　　我想加入这无须舞步的舞蹈 ，我想要成为这个舞蹈
　　
　　我不能告诉你
　　你是在更接近，还是在更远离， 我渴望那看着你脸的时候所获得的宁静
　　也许现在，若你的脸能重新浮现 ，我会更容易地复得那张我以为已经失去了的我自己的脸
　　
　　羽成焰 焰成血 血成骨 骨成髓 髓成灰 灰成雪
　　鲸不歌唱是因为它们有一个答案 ， 它们歌唱是因为他们有一首歌
　　
　　重要的，不是记载在纸上的 ， 重要的是，是书写在心里的
　　所以，烧了这些信吧 ， 把它们的灰撒到雪上
　　在河边 当春天来临，冰雪消融 ，河水漫溢，攀上河岸
　　
　　这时再用闭上的眼睛重读我的信 ， 让那些话语和图景如浪花般洗刷你的身体
　　当你的双手罩着你的耳朵再重读我的信，倾听伊甸园的歌声.......
　　一页，接着一页，再接着一页，沿鸟的徙途 飞翔 飞翔 飞翔......
