Chapter 72 race against the sun

When I was in the third grade of elementary school, I came home from school one day and saw the sunset in the sky, and the sunset glows rising from the valley one by one. "I want to race against the sun, and I want to run home before the sun goes down." A voice in my heart said.Then, I ran wildly and ran back to the courtyard in my hometown without stopping for a moment.When I stood outside the red door of the hall, the last corner of the setting sun was still showing, and the blurred light and shadow reflected the lion head steel buckle on the red door. I stood quietly in front of the hall, watching the sunset sinking to the back of the mountain one by one, my heart was filled with emotion, I ran into the kitchen and said to my mother who was cooking and cooking: "I have outrun the sun, I have outrun the sun gone."

Next, my primary school days were almost always racing against the sun, returning home before the sun set, admiring the beautiful sunset on the banana orchard.My sense of beauty about life came from that time. I felt that if I didn’t run one step faster than time, I would have no space and no mood to enjoy the beauty of the sunset. However, the tragedy of life is that we think we are one step ahead of time, but the years are quickly buried by time. For the lofty goal of life, although we have rushed forward like when we were racing against the sun, sometimes we stood in front of the red door and smiled, thinking that we had won something, but the sunset always sinks when we smile.

Of course, if we weep, it will sink. Therefore, any pursuit and pursuit must have some illusory essence!It's better to go back to this present moment, devote oneself wholeheartedly to every change, adapt, have no regrets, and rejoice in the changes of causes and conditions. At the age of forty, you may not be able to say such passionate words as "I ran better than the sun". However, every day when I wake up, the first thing I do when I look in the mirror is to say to my own image: "Darkness! Let's create something for life today!" Every day, with a smile on my face, I come to work together with the ruthlessness of time and space in the universe and the changeability of life over time. Then in Dahua, there will also be beautiful scenery like the bright moon on the river, the breeze in the mountains, and the weeping willows on the bank. reflect.

I, I would rather be a partner with the smiling self than live with the troubled self. I will keep racing against the sun!Keep walking through the muddy field road, looking at the light in the distance.
