on the cloud 林清玄 2084Words 2018-03-18
Moon and Typhoon Mid-Autumn Festival is almost here, and the Gregorian calendar is September. In the nature textbook for my child, I need to observe the astronomical phenomena in September, especially to observe and record the moon, from the beginning of August to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Every night after dinner, the child would stand on the balcony and wait for the moon to come out. Sometimes he even ran to the dark rooftop to look up at the sky, and then he would enter the room with his head downcast and say, "The moon still hasn't come out." I saw that the boy wrote in his homework, and for several days there were sentences like this: "The clouds are too thick, the sky is gray, and the moon hasn't come out, so I can't observe it."

In the past few days, several typhoons have hit in a row, and the moon has no shadow. The child is very unhappy. He said, "Dad, why is September so bad, I can't even see the moon!" "September is not bad! The hottest weather has passed, and the temperature is starting to turn cold. It is the most beautiful autumn and has the best moon. It's just that the weather is a little worse these days." I told my child that although typhoons are annoying and destructive, they also have many benefits. For example, it will bring abundant rainfall and relieve drought problems; for example, it will clean up garbage and bad things at once. ; Another example makes us feel the smallness of the human body, so we are in awe of nature.

"Since you can't observe the moon, why don't you observe the typhoon?" "Good idea!" said the child happily. I saw a poetic record in his workbook: "The wind blows from east to west, north and south, clouds race in the sky, the rain becomes stronger and smaller, and umbrellas bloom on the road." The beauty of typhoons may not be lost to the moon. the moon is never lost It is really a disappointment to have no moon on Mid-Autumn Festival. It occurred to me that what we care about may not be the moon, but the disappointment of our expectations. Otherwise, the full moon would be full on the fifteenth of every month, and most people would not feel it.

Life is so busy that most people don’t have time to look at the sky. The Mid-Autumn Festival is almost the only day to look at the sky. We prepared mooncakes, grapefruit, and tea to show how seriously we want to look at the moon and let the moon look at it. us. it is good!Since the moon doesn’t appear, let’s forget about it. We eat mooncakes, taste grapefruit, go to sleep in the dark, and start our busy life tomorrow, looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Moon next year. In fact, the moon is never lost. The moon is invisible only because it is covered by clouds, and it will never leave the place where it exists.This is why Buddhism refers to the self-nature as the moon. People who cannot see the moon are just covered by clouds, not without the moon.

It's a pity that we only see the moon once a year. How many people see their own light once a year?In this world, no one can really understand or know us. If they can't even find the root of life, if they can't perceive the light of self, even they can't know themselves. Theoretically, everyone knows that the moon is always there. In fact, it is not easy to touch that light. It is not that it is not easy to touch, but it is unwilling to practice, unwilling to explore, and rarely go out of the outdoors. lonely journey In this lonely age, no one can fully understand each other, even our confidantes and closest people can hardly touch our inner world.

Therefore, every life is a lonely journey. I often think that the world is divided into men and women, parents and children, friends and enemies, husband and wife because of the loneliness and insufficiency of life. In a perfect and complete world, one person is enough. Also because of this loneliness and division, we will never be able to understand each other. It is enough if we can understand our own hearts and face them honestly; Very good. The reason why there are so many differences in life, with various causes and relationships, is that we hope that we can get out of loneliness and try to understand the insufficiency of life.

It is also because of loneliness and inadequacy that some higher-level things touch us, attract us, and lead us. touch of life How necessary is the touch of life! When a language touches our minds, it is poetry or literature. When a certain color touches our eyes, it is painting. When a certain sound touches our heart, it is music. When some kind of legend or story touches us, it is drama! When a certain emotion touches us, it is love; when a certain kind of love elevates us, it is compassion; Mind is clear, heaven and earth are clear In real life, nothing is perfect, sometimes calm, sometimes ecstatic; sometimes lonely, sometimes lively; either joyful or sad.

In the real universe, nothing is perfect. Sometimes the sunny weather is a sign of violent storms; sometimes the cloudy sky is a sign of earthquakes and typhoons;Unexpected wind and rain will come out after the afternoon clear. I often wonder, is this ever-changing universe a reflection of our ever-changing mind?If you have a clear mind, wouldn't the world be bright and clear? I can't find the answer, the only thing I know is that when the typhoon comes, if we build the house stronger, we can still read under the calm and warm lamp. sad and sing Life inevitably sings sad songs. But those who have sung will find that the more sad the song we sing, the more it can cleanse our sadness.

"Singing sad" is very different from "singing sad". Whether it's sad or singing, it's just a short journey in life. Both good sadness and good singing will move us, moving is the best, moving makes us know the ardor of life, moving makes us witness the existence of the soul, moving makes us sad or happy, crying and laughing suddenly, strengthens The elasticity of life. It is good to be able to grieve. It is good to be able to sing. When you are sad, be sad! Sing high when you sing! big deal Several friends came to me at the same time to complain, they all worked in the same office, they had bad and complicated relationships, but they were my friends separately.

All they see in each other are faults, probably because of the proximity. I see that they are all advantages, which may be due to the distance. After receiving several phone calls in a row, it feels like watching "Rashomon", each of which is the truth, and each of them is not the truth. I always say to every friend: "Don't care so much, there is no big deal in the world!" If the president dies, there will be a new president; if the country is divided, there will be a new country; let alone a small office? Really, don't care too much, don't be too persistent, there are no big things in the world!

september is good September is a very good month. The moon is full, the clouds are light and the wind is clear, and it is gentle and cool. Really, September is a great month. The recent typhoon has also passed, and September is very good.
