惠陈部落
一棵新树一旦拱出地面
就必须面对大自然
各式各样的挑战
狂风暴雨，诸如此类
一棵树有可能长大成材
落叶枯枝聚集地面
就是这样开垦立足的
成熟之树还会散播种子
培养小树幼苗
从而有树丛出现
假以时日，木能成林，大小不等
这个过程历来艰辛
灾难总是伴随着成长
世界向来残忍
不久前我移民到了这个镇间
对我这样的人来说
这算是最好的地方了
也许因为之前的惠陈人
在这里生息了几千年了
说不定他们曾经是
古华夏的一个部落
真的跨越了
冰冻了的白令海峡
他们来到这里把自己当成树
开垦出一个全新的世界
当然他们早已
被除根了。只是
我还能嗅闻到他们的枝叶
芬芳的氛围
日夜庇佑着我
犹如令人沐浴美好的光环
从而这个镇子很适合于我
为此我得感谢

后记：惠陈人是欧龙(Ohlone)部落的一个分支 (Huichin Band). 有意思的是从 Lake Tahoe （大湖）到 Huichen （惠陈）到 Ohlone （欧龙）都有远古华夏的味道。
When a new tree breaks earth
June, 2011
It must face up to
all the elements of nature
Big storms, howling winds, and so forth
A tree may grow up
and drop leaves and twigs
around its roots
This is called cultivation.
A mature tree scatters seeds
to nurture little trees
Thus we see a grove here and there
Even woods, and forest
It's never easy
Calamity stays in the way of growth
The world can be so cruel
I migrated to this town not long ago
It's the best place
for people of my own kind
Maybe because the Huichin folks
used to live here for thousand years
Perhaps they were even a tribe
of the ancient Huaxia in the East
who, indeed, walked
across the frozen plank of the Barring Sea
They came and planted themselves here as a tree
to cultivate a brand new world
Of course by now
they have long been eliminated
Still, I smell their leaves and twigs
A marvelous scent blesses me
I bask in good omen
Thus this town agrees with me
For that, I am thankful
to the Huichin Tribe
all the elements of nature
Big storms, howling winds, and so forth
A tree may grow up
and drop leaves and twigs
around its roots
This is called cultivation.

当然我们是站在现代人的角度想象，因为Huichen 和 Ohlone 在不同语言系统里有不同的含义。另外一个依据就是外表形象，美国土著印第安人和蒙古人，远东人相似。这个欧洲和非洲没法否定。悲剧也许就是因为这些人太像远东人了。
