I dreamt that I was interviewing an Israeli bald man. He was a boatman of a small boat. I asked him what he was doing, and he said he was preparing to shoot an Uber advertisement about canoeists. I couldn't help but wonder: Is Uber expanding into another industry?
夢見我在訪問一位以色列光頭男。他是一位小舟船伕。我問他在做什麼，他說他準備幫 Uber 拍一部關於泛舟人的廣告片。我不禁想：莫非 Uber 要跨產業？
標題：清晨漫步
清晨，我在海邊漫步，看到一位光頭船伕。我過去和他閒聊。
「您好。一大清早，您在忙什麼呢？」我愉悅地問。
「我接了個 Uber 廣告，他們待會會過來拍片呢！」船伕微笑回答我。
實在有趣，我不知道 Uber 和船運業有關。
「您的船維持地很好，又乾淨，應該很多婚紗攝影都會喜歡用你的船來拍照呢！」我說。
船伕呵呵地笑著。他停頓了一下「其實我注意妳一陣子了，妳每天早上都會來散步。之前妳的眉頭深鎖，看來心不在焉。但妳現在看來平靜許多，似乎也開始欣賞美景。表示之前困擾妳的問題可能已經解決了。」
我心中一動，有些訝異。回家已經一年多，試著遠離塵囂，放下過去工作上的不愉快，重新調心再出發。沒想到這一切的變化都展現我的面容上。而且，我竟然完全沒注意到這船伕和他的船的存在。
我不禁想，其實我是生活在人人稱羨的仙境。心不開，身處天堂也享受不到美景。實在太可惜了。
「妳如果喜歡海，每天早上妳散步過來，我來帶妳出海看看，也教妳簡單航海技巧。清晨太陽不曬，海景很美。大海會讓妳對人生有不同的體驗。」船伕說，眼中閃爍慈祥的目光。
我開心地說「好啊！我是雙魚座，我一直覺得和大海有緣。如果您不嫌麻煩，我是非常樂意出海看看呢！」
「就這麼一言為定！我看得出妳會學習很快喔！」船伕呵呵地笑著。
Uber 攝影團隊也抵達。我和船伕道別，繼續我的散步。
我想起很多年以前，我曾試著列出這輩子想做的 100 件事，航海就是其中一件。沒想到，我竟然可以去完成它了。應該重新列出我想做的事，排計劃去做。
師父說「只要還有一口呼吸在，就有無限的希望，就是最大的財富。」這次我會把腳步站穩，重新展開了人生的旅程。
Title: Morning Walk
As dawn broke, I found myself strolling along the seashore, where I encountered a bald boatman. Curious, I struck up a conversation with him.
"Good morning. What brings you out so early?" I asked, a smile playing on my lips.
"I've got an Uber ad shoot scheduled soon!" he replied, his tone cheerful.
Intrigued, I remarked, "Your boat is impeccably maintained and so clean. I bet many couples would love to use it for their wedding photoshoots!"
The boatman chuckled before pausing and saying, "You know, I've noticed you around lately. You come here every morning. You used to seem preoccupied, but now, you appear much calmer, as if you're starting to appreciate the beauty around you. It seems like whatever was troubling you before might have been resolved."
His words caught me off guard, leaving me somewhat surprised. It had been over a year since I moved here, seeking solace from the chaos, letting go of past grievances, and embracing a fresh start. I hadn't realized how much these changes had begun to reflect on my demeanor. Moreover, I hadn't even noticed the boatman and his vessel until now.
Reflecting on his words, I couldn't help but think about the wasted beauty of paradise when seen with a closed heart.
"If you're fond of the sea, why not join me for a sail sometime? I can teach you a few sailing basics. The morning sun isn't too harsh, and the views out at sea are breathtaking. It might just give you a fresh perspective on life," the boatman suggested, his eyes filled with kindness.
Thrilled by the idea, I exclaimed, "That sounds wonderful! I've always felt a special connection to the sea. If you don't mind, I'd love to join you!"
"Consider it a plan! I have no doubt you'll pick up the skills quickly," he replied, his voice warm with enthusiasm.
As the Uber photography team arrived, I bid the boatman farewell and continued my leisurely walk along the shore.
Reflecting on our conversation, I couldn't help but think about the dreams and aspirations I once penned down, including sailing. Little did I know that this dream was within reach. It was time to revisit my aspirations and make plans to pursue them.
Remembering the wise words of my master – "As long as there is breath in you, there is infinite hope, the greatest wealth" – I resolved to embark on this new journey of life with renewed determination.
