《往事並不如煙》
看鮑蓓的畫,我會感覺到:仿佛一轉眼,我們就換了容顏。
在歲月的陰陽裏,將生命的悲喜化解在無言中,任命運雨打風吹。
有一天,我們會發現外界強加於我們的東西越來越少,
我們內心渴望的卻在目光中駐足——
“童年的天空”、“故鄉的顏色”、“雨中的春花”、“風中的山林”,
這些似有非無的記憶,像一首唱不完的歌,總在寂寞時響起;
於是,我們感到溫暖,那溫暖像母親的微笑一樣可靠;
於是,我們欣慰,我們在往事裏找到了自己;
於是,我們知道往事並不如煙。
我們經歷的都是我們要告別的;
越走越遠的腳步恰似越走越近的心靈。
走遠了,就知道回來的路。
舊事與新景都在鮑蓓的色彩中化成驛路上的梨花;
它仿佛在告訴我們:
穿過梨園,繞過春水,看見青山翠竹,
就離家不遠了,
離往事也不遠了。

Bao Pei’s paintings remind me that everything changes completely as time flies.
As hours and minutes rush by, all joy and sadness in life melts into silence;
and fate is gone with wind.
One day, we may discover that the effect of the outside world upon on us has faded.
And what our hearts have longed for is still within sight ——
、、、,
Forgotten memories linger like an endless song, always singing in solitude.
They bring us the warmth of a mother’s smile;
They bring us images of ourselves from the past;
They teach us When Memory Exists Still.
Our experiences are that to which we must always bid farewell;
The more steps we take along life’s path, the closer we come to our soul;
Eventually, we will find the road back home.
Memories, combined with fresh insight, are transformed into pear flowers
by the colors in Bao Pei’s paintings.
Her art tells us that,
Passing through a pear garden, turning toward the spring waters,
Home is close to us whenever we see bamboo;
So is Memory.
