For a while, I was alienated from the writing I had always liked. The reason may be that it was difficult to keep up with the busy days.
In fact, I have always longed for a peaceful life - go to work, rest, do housework, write some words, let the chapters of daily life, accompanied by the fragrance of firewood, rice, oil and salt, follow your own mood Taste to taste happiness. Let some ordinary past sway in the window that can be touched by the soul. You can either stop or move forward, completely within the rhythm of life that you can control.
To be a low-key and down-to-earth ordinary person, you do not need to shine on the earth like the sun, do not need to be surrounded by stars like the moon, do not need to be as dazzling with neon as the riverside, and do not need to attract bees and butterflies like flowers. I just need to give you a place to live and inhabit, so that you can be at ease in your own chapter of life, write a true and straightforward self, be comfortable, peaceful, moved, happy, content in the ordinary, and be at peace in simplicity. , is the scenery of life that I can achieve.
I know that in this society, many people are not content with being ordinary. They like to fight in the arena, yearn for grandeur, chase the feasting and feasting, and long to be heard and respected by the princes. They are busy every day, calculating, flattering, showing off, and sinking, so that their footsteps can never keep up with their own souls. As everyone knows, in this society, only a few people can climb to the top of the pyramid. The world of mortals is sitting in my heart, and success or failure becomes empty in a blink of an eye, leaving eternal events behind only to be laughed at.
So, it is actually good to be willing to be an ordinary person. Only when people return to the ordinary can they be grounded, humble, see the true feelings, and accomplish things. Only then can they get closer to their true selves, hear their truest voices, and enjoy the most authentic life. If you live a "low-key luxury with connotation" in the ordinary, you will definitely be extraordinary and "not envious of mandarin ducks nor immortals".
Ordinary life can be a field for cultivating hope. There are fragrant fertile soil, green seedlings all year round, ditches with clear streams flowing, huts shaded by old trees, and wild flowers all over the mountains and plains... You just need to hold the seasons in hand, stay away from the hustle and bustle, and work at sunrise, Rest after sunset, just quietly sow your thoughts in your own field, and you will reap melons and beans as you sow. When you are tired or tired, you can stay on the field ridge where your soul is resting, and be intoxicated by the spring scenery, soaked in summer flowers, stained by autumn frost, and pure by winter snow... Everything is so ordinary, and everything seems so free and easy. , happy and natural.
Ordinary life can be a cup of tea that you pour and drink by yourself. This cup of tea takes a lifetime to brew according to your heart, spontaneity and fate. Whether the water is warm enough and the tea tastes good to your taste, you need to touch and taste it yourself. Whether it's hot, cool, fragrant or bitter, you might as well swallow it calmly. In this way, let the rising mist of tea nourish the dryness of a heart, and practice the Zen philosophy of understanding life. Come lightly, go lightly, quietly in a quiet place, giving people fragrance and elegance to themselves.
Ordinary life can be a way to experience the world. Practice brings true knowledge. Ordinary people can leave just as they say. I once remembered that when I was in junior high school, there was a story about "Two Monks from Sichuan Go to the South China Sea". The rich monk wanted to go but hesitated, and the poor monk came with "a bottle and a bowl", which fully explained to us that "the world is under heaven". Things may be difficult or easy. If you do them, the difficult ones will become easy; if you don't do them, the easy ones will also become difficult." Therefore, ordinary people understand a truth - "It is always better to do something than nothing." For the sake of life, being busy and walking non-stop is the time when he has peace in his heart and can reach the end of the world he hopes for. You may sigh at the poverty and vicissitudes of life on the faces of travelers on the road. In fact, you are wrong. You laugh at those who are crazy, but you don’t understand the meaning. They are also full of abundance in their hearts. There are roads under their feet and mountains and rivers in their hearts. They occasionally enjoy the paths full of flowers and listen to the mountains and rivers. , independent of small bridges and flowing water, detached from "dare to ask where the road is, the road is at your feet."
Ordinaryness can be a song that accompanies you with your heart. I am often moved by this song: The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old together with you. To most people, it seems ordinary and insignificant for a couple to grow old together. In fact, carrying a love through to the end in a person's life is enough to shock the world and make the gods and ghosts cry. After you have gone through all kinds of situations and scenery in the world, how many people can still maintain the sweet taste, warm feeling, and romantic emotions when facing a weather-beaten lover every day? Therefore, I am moved by those ordinary people who guard each other in the light years, love each other silently, hold hands, walk through wind and rain, know their lovers, respect the elderly, care for their children, support their friends, care for their colleagues, and stick to it for the rest of their lives. The years are quiet and good.
Let us be mortals, quietly close the door, listen to the passing years, sort out the years, occasionally be romantic and elegant, do what we want to do, love the people we should love, and turn every ordinary day into a melodious one. Song.
