2. Taste the faint feeling of life

I like the faint feeling, perhaps because of a melancholy? I don't know

I don't know whether I am happy or not.

I just like that faint feeling.

I like to see the faint green on the branches.

It is a symbol of life, it is the messenger of spring, and the faint light is better than the noisy purple.

I pursue subtle friendship.

To be friends, we don't have to meet often, and occasionally we say, "How are you?"

Light greetings spread like budding thoughts at this time, and a ray of warmth overflows your heart.

As the saying goes, a friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, but I don't know how much sincerity and tacit understanding a word "light" contains.

Love should also be weak.

And that faint smile. I like light water. I am very thirsty. Boiled water can quench thirst best.

It makes women more gentle and shy, and men more mature and generous.

It makes children more naive and beautiful.

Light skirts are very popular.

despise

But now

Because I miss you lightly.

That's why these vague words ...

Everything is faint.

Just a little light.

Past, present and future,

The picture of life is depicted tenderly.

Tears falling and smiles spreading.

With that weak blow

Walking in the crowd, there are always some girls, which make people keep looking back.

There is no dazzling red skirt wrapped in green, and the blue shirt and purple skirt flowing in the wind.

Only a youth and a naive.

A faint smile is very mellow.

When children meet strangers, they always hide behind adults and then quietly show half their faces.

A faint smile naturally emerges from the eyes and corners of the mouth.

When the teenager sent a bouquet of faint fragrant roses to the girl, he had already filled the girl's heart.

The brighter sky is high above.

No clouds, no bright blue eyes, just faint.

There is blue in gray, and blue contains gray.

That lingering faint smoke.

I like to hum "cherry red, banana green"

A trace of nostalgia ...

A person, just a quiet person.

Melt yourself in lingering fragrance and melodious music, open old photo albums and open dusty memories.

Remember you, you never need to remember, never forget.

This "light" leads to a lot of emotions, a lot of pain and helplessness.

Faint, always unforgettable. ...

I don't know who said, "You can't drag, but you can't run."

Friends, remember: only a touch of love will make you lucky to grow old.

3. You don't have to be perfect.

Of course, we should try our best, but people can't ask for perfection. The situation we are facing is so complicated that no one can always make mistakes.

However, sometimes people can't treat their mistakes correctly. Maybe our parents expect us to be perfect; Maybe our friends often talk about our shortcomings because they want us to correct them. What they can't understand is that our mistakes always touch their hearts when they are most vulnerable.

This makes us feel guilty. But before taking the fault, we must ask ourselves, is this really the burden we should bear?

Maybe it's loss that makes us whole. A perfect person, in a sense, is a poor person. He will never feel the feeling of pursuing something and hoping for something. He will never feel the joy when people who love him bring him what he always wants.

A person who has the courage to give up his dreams that cannot be realized is complete; A person who can face the grief of losing a loved one is complete-because they have experienced the worst experience, but they have successfully resisted the impact.

Life is not a false trap that God uses to play tricks on you. You won't fail because of one mistake. Life is a ball game, the best team loses points and the worst team has a glorious day. Our goal is to lose as much as possible.

When we accept people's imperfections, when we can be grateful for the continued operation of life, we can achieve integrity; Others long for completeness-when they are confused about perfection.

If we can bravely love, forgive, generously express our gratification for the happiness of others, and rationally cherish the love around us, then we can achieve perfection that other lives have never achieved.

4. spend time on your thoughts

My friend took me to see a collector's collection. It is said that his collection is all top-notch things, and he will charge more than10 million for any one.

We crossed the alley and came to an ordinary apartment. I wonder how top antiques can be collected in such a place.

The collector came to open the door, opened three stainless steel doors in a row, and then walked into the house. It took me a few seconds to get used to the dim light in the room. At this time, I suddenly saw that the whole house was full of antiques, so much so that I had to walk carefully before I could walk sideways.

There are ceramics, bronzes and tins everywhere, and there are many painting and calligraphy scrolls crowded in the cylinder. The host finally took us to the sofa, which was also buried in the antique pile. After some sorting, we can sit down.

I don't know how to describe that feeling. Antiques are so crowded that people seem to be in the garbage. I don't think anything can be overdone. It would be terrible to overdo it.

We all like butterflies, but if the room is full of butterflies, it will not be beautiful, and the thought of butterflies will make the room full of caterpillars, which is terrible.

We all like birds, but too many birds can hurt people. Hitchcock's masterpiece Birds is creepy.

In a trance, the host brought out a plate, but it was not tea or coffee, but a plate of jade. Because my friend boasted to my master that I was an expert, although I strongly denied it according to the facts, my master just felt that I was modest and couldn't wait to "appreciate" his collection for me.

In this case, I have to appreciate and praise them one by one. Speaking of a piece of tawny jade, I thought to myself: Why not serve tea?

After seeing the jade, we went to the master's bedroom to see the pottery and bronzes, only to find that there was only one bed in the master's bedroom, and the rest were piled up from the ground to the roof.

Although these ancient bronzes are worth more than 10 million yuan, they can't be felt when they are piled together. After seeing several rooms, it was still the same. What surprises me most is that even the kitchen and toilet are full of antiques, and the host family has not started a business for a long time.

The owner of the antique told me why he chose to live in a humble alley, because he was afraid of causing gangsters to covet him.

Moreover, he has set up so many iron gates with various security functions that ordinary people can't even look at his antiques from the outside.

The friend added: "He is crazy about antiques, and his wife and children can't stand it. He emigrated abroad. "

The owner of the antique said, "What do women and children know?"

I said to him, "Your antiques are so valuable, so many. Why not sell a few pieces and buy a big exhibition space for more people to enjoy? " ? In this way, the house will not even have no place to sit! "

He said, "I don't want to sell any good antiques."

He said, "How much do laymen know about antiques?"

I felt a little sad when I left. No matter how great an antique is, it is just an "object". How can it be compared with all beings? Besides, in order to possess antiques, I was afraid when I was alive, just like a prisoner trapped in a cell with several iron gates and a beggar living in a garbage dump. Why bother?

Besides, people will leave this world, just like the old owner of antiques in his hand, there will always be a moment when he can't take anything away. Real possession is not necessarily possession, and real antique connoisseurs are not necessarily collectors; Occasionally, you should appreciate antiques, go to the Palace Museum, spend tens of yuan on tickets and see real rare antiques. Tired, isn't it nice to spend tens of yuan drinking oolong tea specially selected by the Forbidden City in Sanxi Hall? When I get home, the window is bright and clean, and I don't need three iron gates to defend it, nor do I need to compete with ruthless things for position. It's not too fast to replace things with things!

Our life is so short that if we have a plan, we will be troubled; Perseverance will be bound; What you get, you lose.

If we spend time on wealth, we have no time to spend on our hearts.

If we run around for our desires day and night, we will lose our health.

If we become pot addicts, stone addicts, jade addicts and antique addicts, we will forget the preciousness of all sentient beings.

What is the value of a good meal and a cup of tea, a happy day without worries and a sleepless night without dreams?

"A hundred flowers blossom, and not a leaf touches the body". That kind of life is the life we yearn for. In all flowers, there is "awareness", and not touching the leaves is "awareness".

Misunderstanding and appreciation, criticism and praise are all like misty rain in Lushan and tidal waves in Zhejiang, but there is nothing in them.

The best spring tea last spring is tasteless this year. We should drink this year's spring tea.

Spring tea is good every year, and so is the rough pottery teacup in front of me. Leave the burden of antiques, antiques, diamonds, pearls and even everything to those who are willing to bear it.

Smile at flowers

As soon as I turned around, the grass behind me was in full bloom. A large area. It seems that someone told a joke and made a beach of grass laugh.

I lay on the hillside thinking. Is it what I think-a strange idea in a person's mind makes the grass feel funny and laughs my head off in the breeze. Some laughed, some half covered their lips and couldn't help laughing. Two flowers are close to me, one is facing me, with thin pink petals, as if singing and laughing; The other turned his head to hide his face, but still couldn't hide his smile. I can't help laughing. Laugh first, then laugh.

This is my first time in the wilderness, laughing alone.

Another time, I slept in a green grass field south of the wheat field. I like this green grass very much. It is dark green and dark green, which is in sharp contrast with the surrounding yellow fields.

I think about a month ago, the man who watered the wheat field didn't care about water at all. Maybe he put the water in the wheat field and went to bed. The water overflowed the ridge and ran down the dry ditch. Weeds that have withered for many years have finally come to life. That kind of green has been accumulated for many years, just like hunger in my eyes. Although I can't rush to eat like a cow, I can sleep in the green grass. It is also very satisfying to sleep and dream with what you like.

A man who has been busy in the yellow field for half his life has finally waited for the green leaves for a year. Will a small piece of vegetation wait until the day when I get ahead?

These plants simply grow a few leaves, stretch a few branches and open a few small flowers, which have never grown taller or flourished. Every year from my smiling face and listless walking, is it depression?

I live too seriously, and my dull face seems to be numb to life, forgetting to smile at a flower and rejoice for a new leaf. It is not easy to bloom at one time, and it is a rare leaf. In the wilderness, my smile may be a welcome and encouragement to humble life. Like green grass, I can see the bright future in my life that has not yet come.

Later, I felt that I had become a member of the wilderness. In fact, it is not easy to really enter a wilderness. The wilderness is wide open, and this huge door makes you inadvertently come out when you try to enter and become an outsider. Its details are always closed to you.

Walking into a meadow, a drop of water or a bug may be further. Knowing a grass is not limited to feeding it into your mouth and chewing it. Dig a hole, plant yourself in it, water it, stand and wait for a while, wait for a long time. It may just be a sore leg and backache, but it can't be concluded that vegetation has grown in the soil. People don't have roots as deep as vegetation, and they can't know what is deep in the soil. People are buried in their own affairs and in the darkness. When people finish one thing and do it well, people will gradually come out.

What I get from vegetation is only the truth of some people, not the truth of vegetation. I thought I knew them, but I know myself. I don't understand them.
