Life need not be about being overly calculating; as long as you can see things clearly and let go, whether it's yesterday, today, or tomorrow, a moment of clarity is a beautiful day. Whether it's annoyance or anger, gain or loss, just remember that your life is just right.
Life is not a race, but a journey. A race focuses on the finish line, while a journey focuses on the scenery along the way. Only by approaching the wilderness can one fully appreciate the beauty of spring; only by merging with the rivers can one perceive the tenderness of summer water; only by picking ripe fruits can one taste the flavor of autumn; Only by passing through the cold winter can one feel the warmth of spring.
A writer once compared life to a spider web. He said, "We live in the world, and our love, hate, or indifference toward others is like shaking a large spider web. I influence others, and they in turn influence others. The great web vibrates, rippling outward, with no end in sight and no time to stop."
Striking a stone may spark fire; provoking people may invite disaster.
I could have chosen any subject and painted a completely different sketch or watercolor. My life could have taken a different path, if, before the lotus in the fresh rain, you had simply walked by quietly. On that July afternoon, if, if you hadn't looked back.
The rain finally fell, as if a thousand years had passed. The aroma of reeds spread everywhere, accompanied by the fragrant scent of lotus, as I wrote words overflowing with ink fragrance in an old pavilion. Perhaps, in this lifetime, no one will ever understand my hesitant emotions; tears see beautiful faces like flowers, remembering only the distant other shore.
