not just my dream / 不只是我的夢想

過去有一陣子還挺希望自己的作品登上刊物，不過這一年以來，心願變得很小，只希望能夠認真地、熱情地畫下去，這個自我期許說來沒甚麼，但是要總是充滿熱情，怎麼樣都不是想像地那麼容易。

For a while I hoped to see my works in published forms as often as possible. But in the past year, my wish has shrunk--I want nothing more than to go on with my art with a serious and passionate attitude. This self-expectation doesn't sound quite grand, but to be always full of passion, it's actually much harder than it seems.

今天薛吉把朱銘美術館的雜誌給我的時候，我還真是大大地吃了一驚，雅鈞引了不少我之前寫過的文字，我深深地感覺，果然只要埋頭向前進，沒有期待的都會從天上掉下來。

Today when Shaggy gave me the magazine by Juming Art Museum, it really came as a very pleasant surprise. Ya-jun (the staff of the museum) quoted much from my writing on the blog this past summer. I was reminded again that once I bury my head in the task, what I don't expect will fall from the sky.

其實過了暑假之後，一切都由繁華走向寂靜，沒有歡樂的共同作畫，只有每天下班後拖著疲憊的身軀回家，儘管身心急需休息，在大約清醒的狀態之下，我還是會坐到書桌前，進行每日的畫畫練習。ㄧ個人的作畫時間比起瘋狂的暑假，有些寂寞，但是我必須要向前走了。

After the summer break, everything died down from the wacky climax. Without the merriment of painting together, I drag my exhausted body home after work. Despite the call for a rest from my poor physique and mentality, I would sit down at my desk as long as I am 70% sober and start my painting session. My one-man's art time, compared with the mural project in the museum is a little bit lonely. Yet I have to move on.

不過我的夢想真的不只是我的夢想了，每次我看到自己訴說著夢想，你臉上散發的光芒，啊，我ㄧ定會達到我的目標，因為我想，我也會因此讓你找到你的夢想和目標。

Tonight I realized again that my dream isn't just my dream. Every time when I talk about my dream, I see the glow on your face. I will reach my goal because in that way, I will make you find your dream and goal...
