Chapter 37 Waiting for the quiet moonlit night with evening primrose(35)

Some flowers bloom in the morning and fade in the evening, facing the sun; some flowers only live for one night, and bloom after the sun goes down in the evening.Just like evening primrose, it only waits for the moon, so it is also called "night grass".Evening primrose is like a sleepless Cinderella. The light yellow flowers exude a faint fragrance and shine under the moonlight. Many nocturnal moths surround it and dance together with the long night.When the dawn dawns, it also withers. I heard that evening primroses often appear on the sandy soil by the sea, but I also saw evening primroses on the grass near me.The sunset has just disappeared, and the twilight is gradually covering, and the evening primrose is ready to meet the moon. I wonder if it can wait for the moon tonight?I also once looked for the moon but never met it, but met it unexpectedly.

That was a few years ago, on Wang'an Island in Penghu.At night, I want to see the scene of "the bright moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time", but unfortunately there is only a night sky full of stars.Late at night, walking on the deserted road, I turned my head and saw a round of dim moon rising slowly along the roof almost to the horizon! In such a deep night, such a low moon, such a quiet island, I don't know where I am for a while!Except for the faint sound of the sea tide coming from a distance, there is only a quiet face to the bright moon... At that moment, the usual annoying hustle and bustle disappeared without a trace, only the current breathing and the moonlight falling on the earth... I felt the pure state of life, A feeling that has never been experienced in the world of mortals.Under the moonlight, there is indeed a magical quality!

Evening primrose that blooms at night avoids the hustle and bustle of flowers during the day, and shows the splendor of life in another quiet time and space.It does not chase the bright sunshine, but chooses the quiet night moon.There is no appreciating vision from everyone, except yourself, only the slow-moving night walker will find its silent and beautiful flower shadow! For practitioners, in addition to practicing hard during the day, the moment when the gaze disappears is also a critical moment of practice.The Catholic Church believes: "As night falls, the temples light up candles, which is a time of peace and tranquility in the heart." The monks return to silence amidst the singing of evening prayers, end the day, and then enter the night and sleep clean.

Buddhist monks chanted in the evening: "The day has passed, and life will also decrease. What joy is there? Be diligent and diligent, like saving your head. But remember impermanence, and be careful not to let it go." Raise your vigilance and remind yourself not to waste time.Both of them are practitioners of police policy, facing the inner darkness and troubles, facing the peaceful heart like the bright moon. On autumn nights, I want to wait for the moon with evening primrose. (This picture is provided by Wu Xiaodan)
