跟那麼多毛小孩靠近 磨蹭
感受到真實的 
一隻隻熱情的、怕人的 、
驚恐的、防衛性強的毛小孩 
各種情緒 各種神情 
各種姿態 各種個性 
都讓我們看到甚麼是生靈 
甚麼是有情 甚麼是習性的艱苦
讓我們在人世間一起流轉

By being so close to and touching so many animals, I witnessed their friendliness, fear, terror, and defensiveness, all kinds of emotions, expressions, attitudes, and personalities. It allowed me to see what a sentient being really is, what emotion is, what habitual suffering is, and what keeps us moving on in this world.

在刷洗 清理 安撫 
每一隻毛小孩的時刻裡 
告訴牠們 今天我們在

Every moment that I was washing, cleaning, or comforting an animal was telling them, “We are here today.”

忙中的安靜 讓我們靜下來
回頭看自己 
如何的個性  
跟著自己走一輩子
是不是有一樣的牛脾氣 狗個性
讓我們在人道 畜生道 輪迴在輪迴

This time of tranquility within our busy lives allows us to calm down, look at ourselves, and reflect on our own personalities perhaps for the first time ever. Do we not have the same stubborn temperament of a bull or the attachment of a dog, causing us to be reincarnated again and again as humans or animals?

毛孩子們
我們在今年今天有因緣相遇 
就讓我們互許 
日後可以的話
長遠的相見

在每三個月的一天  
我幫你清清狗舍
理理貓屋 
刷刷妳的毛
洗洗你睡與玩樂打滾曬太陽的地
我們互相安慰 打氣 
做一點能盡的力
承許一日的陪伴 守護 
盼望更好的你/妳  更好的自己

Dear animals, it was destiny to meet with you today. Let’s promise each other that, if possible, we will come together one day every three months so I can clean out your homes, brush your hair, and wash the places where you sleep and play. We will comfort each other, encourage each other, put effort into each other, be with each other, and protect each other. I look forward to you and me becoming better.
