It starts with seeing my own needs從看見自己的需要開始
True maturity begins when I can see my own needs.
真正的成熟,從看見自己的需要開始。
Then we learn to see the needs of those beside us and build safe relationships. We stay present without taking advantage of one another.
接著,我們學會看見身邊的人的需要,並建立一種安全的連結——沒有人掠奪對方,也沒有人逃開。
“We” is a way of being together「我們」是一種關係的狀態
When we say “we,” we mean how people are with one another. It looks like this:
我們說「我們」,說的是人和人之間怎麼相處。它長這個樣子:
We lift together the burdens that would overwhelm one person. Each of us also carries our own backpack.
壓垮人的重擔,我們一起抬;自己的背包,各人自己背。
Soil we tend together一起耕耘的土壤
Nobody here has to fight alone. This is soil we tend together.
在這裡,沒有人需要獨自奮戰。這是我們一起耕耘的土壤。
Life begins in the soil. Every seed must first fall into the ground before it can break through and grow.
生命從土壤開始。所有的種子都要先落在土裡,才能破土而出、向上生長。
Our hearts are like soil waiting to be tended. At times they are broken and dry, yet they remain full of possibility.
我們的心,像一塊等待耕耘的土地——有時破碎、乾涸,卻也充滿可能。
As roots grow deeper, they meet other roots and form an unseen network of support.
當根往下扎得夠深,就會碰到別的根,連成一張彼此托住的地下網絡。
Growing up together, young and old老老少少,一起長大
Our hope is a community where generations grow in emotional maturity side by side.
我們的盼望,是一個跨世代、一起在情緒上長大的群體。
Younger people learn to recognize their emotions and respond with steadiness. Those in their middle years learn to carry responsibility. Older people share what life has taught them and bless those who follow.
年輕的一代學會辨認、調節自己的情緒;中間的一代操練承擔與負責;年長的一代把一生學到的傳下去,祝福後面的人。
Here, we are speaking of physical generations. Inner maturity is different—a forty-year-old may still be very young inside.這裡說的是身體的世代。情緒年齡是另一回事——四十歲的人,情緒年齡可能還很小。
This road is for people who are willing to keep showing up and growing. As we walk together, we gradually learn to take responsibility for our own part.
這條路,給願意持續付出、持續長大的人。為自己的部分負責,是我們一起走的時候慢慢長出來的。
We walk this road in small groups, using bilingual workbooks and practicing together. We learn to be real, take responsibility for our part, and stay connected.
我們在小組裡同行,用雙語工作手冊,一起操練——一起學習真實、承擔與連結。
