Chapter 38 who cannot be added

I was surprised—it turned out that I didn't even prepare a gift in the end.I had received an invitation letter from her to "make a wish" a long time ago. At that time, I just thought it would not be difficult to buy a gift.However, tomorrow, she will make a wish, and I still haven't found a suitable gift. I met her for the first time on a mountain in Danshui, in a quaint monastery, green grape clusters were not yet ripe, a huge copper cross was placed low in the scent of flowers in the four windows, and her white clothes were burning with a strange white color. . She is about to officially make a vow, and I should give her a gift. They are so kind to me, and from such a distant mountain, they send me home-baked hot cakes and big homemade candles.But I couldn't find a gift to give her—on her vow day, on the day she made a lifelong goal of poverty and service.

If I give her a little knick-knack, where should she put it?If I send her a basket of flowers, how will the perishable blossoms fit her everlasting vows—and I doubt she'll scold me, saying, "Why don't you use it to give to the poor?" Can I give her lipstick?When she kissed the little orphan, she already had the most beautiful red lips.Can I send her rouge?When she was running on the mountain trails to serve people, she already had the most charming red cheeks.Can I give her clothes?The sacred white robe has married her to the ideal, what other colorful clothes in the world are enough to adorn her?What armlets are there to splendor the arms she manipulates?What necklace can reflect her hanging over the head of the lowly?What earrings are there for the ear that hangs to listen to other people's troubles?What pins can embellish that worrying heart?What ring could be worn on the finger that folds hands and prays.

The world is so big, the market is so noisy, but I can't buy a gift that can be given to her. I was planning to give this a gift to a pastor abroad.The same difficulty arose again.I just suddenly discovered that there is a kind of person in this world, you can hardly increase him with anything, he is already a perfect universe. Maybe I can follow others and give him pork jerky, beef jerky and other things as local products.But I know that for a busy, busy person, he won't have time to sit down and munch on a snack. All the food seemed to be off his mind, and his snacks were either forgotten or shared with others.

If I gift him a shirt or a tie pin and cufflinks or something, he won't remember to dress himself up either.His pair of spectacle frames have been used for ten years, and they were so loose that they slipped on the nose, but he still refused to change them, only saying: "Why bother? We have become old friends, and we already have feelings for each other!" Send him something small to put on the mantelpiece?The day he chose to be a priest he had said goodbye to the couch--and he didn't have a fireplace either.Give him some luxury?His parish was inhabited by some of the poorest working men, among whom he lived the most modest existence.Any small things that are entangled in life may not be meaningful to him. He is a person who often forgets himself-he has to be repeatedly reminded by others to suddenly exist as a person, whether he is not in his care within the range.

Perhaps, I could send him a book, but what books can add to his wisdom, what knowledge can increase his value to a man who has embraced the world. It turns out that there is a kind of person in this world, you can't add anything to him, he is a perfect universe in himself.
