light life 林清玄 419Words 2018-03-18
When I saw a pure white flower beside the paddy field, which looked like a lily, but bloomed more prosperously than a lily, with a very graceful posture, I was shocked by its majestic beauty on the spot. "What kind of flower is this?" I asked the farmer by the field. "This is spinach!" said the old farmer. It turns out that water spinach can produce such beautiful and bright flowers, which is beyond my wildest dreams.I asked the farmer, "But I also planted water spinach, why didn't it bloom?" He said: "Ordinary people grow water spinach and eat it before it blooms. How can they see blooms? I just keep them for planting and leave them until they bloom!"

I looked carefully at the convolvulus flowers in the paddy field. The shape of the flower is very similar to that of a lily. It is as beautiful as a lily and has a very pleasant aroma. Because the flower is hollow and the stem is also hollow, it is especially soft and swaying in the wind. In addition, the leaves are so green, if used as a vase flower, it will not lose to other famous flowers!It's a pity that water spinach is a vegetable, and it is always picked off before it blooms. It is always difficult for ordinary people to know how beautiful it blooms.Even if some water spinach can survive until it blooms, it is difficult for people to change their views on it.

Only when we completely break away from the concept of water spinach can we truly see the beauty of water spinach. However, it is really harder for a person to face the world with an empty heart than water spinach!
