A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
地球
Planet
Perhaps two million years ago the creatures of a planet in some remote galaxy faced a musical crisis similar to that which we earthly composers face today.
也许两百万年以前,某个遥远星系的某个星球上的生物面临着一场音乐危机,就像我们地球上的作曲家今天所面临的一样。
There's room for everybody on the planet to be creative and conscious if you are your own person. If you're trying to be like somebody else, then there is isn't.
如果你是你自己,这个星球上的每个人都有发挥创造力和意识的空间。如果你想成为别人,那就没有。
If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.
如果你相信长时间的感觉不好或担心会改变过去或未来的事件,那么你就生活在另一个星球上,拥有一个不同的现实系统。
When we have peace, then we have a chance to save the planet. But if we are not united in peace, if we do not practice mindful consumption, we cannot save our planet.
当我们有了和平,那么我们就有机会拯救地球。但是,如果我们不能在和平中团结起来,如果我们不实行有意识的消费,我们就无法拯救我们的地球。
I've never liked topical material, because it has no shelf life, but sometimes you just have to say something because there's too much going on that's hard on our country and the planet.
我从来都不喜欢主题材料,因为它没有保质期,但有时你不得不说些什么,因为有太多的事情正在发生,这对我们的国家和这个星球来说是困难的。
Life on our planet has been a constant series of cataclysmic events, and we are more suitable for extinction than a trilobite or a reptile. So we will vanish. There's no doubt in my heart.
地球上的生命是一系列不断发生的灾难性事件,我们比三叶虫或爬行动物更适合灭绝。所以我们会消失。我心里毫无疑问。
I'm surrounded by it. I have so many lovely people around me who are supportive, gentle, kind and considerate. I'm so grateful for every day that I'm on the planet and that continues to be so.

If I make a speech, I need a translator. But music does not need a translation. People understand me through the sound. That I think is very important. This is just one planet, like one family.

Through all of history mankind has ingested psychedelic substances. Those substances exist to put you in touch with spirits beyond yourself, with the creator, with the creative impulse of the planet.

Whether things turn out for the better depends on what we do. We ought not spend our time masterminding the future, but recognize our marching orders: to do the best we can for history and the planet.

The way I see it, the earth is going to be here after we're dead and gone. Even if it's a polluted planet, and they messed it up. Where do they go from here - to another planet so they can mess that up too?
在我看来,地球在我们死后还会存在。即使这是一个被污染的星球,他们把它搞砸了。它们从这里到另一个星球去了哪里?
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
While I'm here on this planet, I really want to create art and do creative things.
当我在这个星球上的时候,我真的很想创造艺术,做一些有创意的事情。
Style, I think, is panache. Who are you? What did you do today? And what are you worth to me? What do you have to offer the world? How did you spend your time today on this planet? How are you spending your time every second? What are you doing now? Are you alive, or are you somnambulant?
我认为,风格是一种炫耀。你是谁?你今天做了什么?你对我有什么价值?你能给这个世界带来什么?你今天在这个星球上是如何度过的?你每一秒的时间是怎么度过的?你现在在做什么?你还活着,还是在梦游?
