life, is like a ping pong match / 人生,有如一場乒乓球賽

artist statement

At a presentation by Master Asaba‭, ‬he said‭,‬

“Life‭, ‬is like a game of ping pong‭.‬

The ball is now at your side of the table‭, ‬you strike it back‭.
‬The ball is here again‭, ‬and again you strike it back‭…‬”
His words were imprinted on my mind‭.‬

Life is so unpredictable‭,‬

and events can catch you by surprise‭, ‬one after another‭.‬

The volcanic eruption of Iceland‭,‬

earthquakes in various countries and the tsunami in Japan‭.‬

Just when we thought we knew
the rule of the game‭,‬
the rules are changed‭, ‬demanding double effort‭.‬

Will you still take the challenge‭?‬

聽了淺葉克己老師一次演講這樣說:
「人生,有如一場乒乓球賽。
球過來,你就推過去。
球又再過來,你又再推回去⋯⋯」
很深刻的記在心裡。

人生無常,世間無常之事接二連三,
冰島火山爆發,不同國家之地震和日本海嘯。

當大家認定了球賽的規則時,
突然發現被改加了一倍難度;
你可還落場應戰這場遊戲嗎?
