After snow
Hot 4 |
White snow continued last night and ended this morning. I opened eyes, the light went through the curtain and cast on the ceiling reflexed much more bright. This is a quite similar scene dates back to the time when I was young in winter, I got up in the very early morning, and went outside playing on the snowy ground. Fellows were all happy regardless of the wet shoes soaked in the muddy snow earth. At that time we did not care at all, though there was an unavoidable beat from parents. Interesting! Now it is not that common to meet snow in winter here. Probably the global warming has effected on some reasons.
Some trees are broken down because of heavy snow, others are lucky to stay intact. We did not expcet it was snowing, even the weather forecast just reported it was raining. Finally it turns out something at sometimes is not going as well as controlled. Those survived proceed with life. To be grateful to be alive from the mercy of nature. Actually it teaches us to know the importance of living at every second we can have. After baptism of snow, strong survivors stay alive. After attack of storm, best living creatures adapted to shakable changing. They all endure in silence. We can sense it if we really observe.
So comes the idea of life going as we can do it well. Brief life is not that really long. I checked my calendar, this December impressed me a lot. All of another eleven pages are fully marked with my big Xs. An X marked per day as the end of yesterday, a new beginning of today. I turned back to review those events and activities I did before recorded on the calendar. There are only 26 days left in the rest of this year. I am full with that.
What we experienced in every single moment contributes to what we gained. Everyday, news of accidents, diseases, conflits, wars, slaughters and terror attacks deprived the innocent of life, we can hear them a lot. On this level, it is real a tough journey if we can smoothly go through the entire life. What else can be to blame? Surely, we have many complaints. Pressures come from life and work, urgence of marrige, difficulities of marraige management, crisis of relationship, hardship of life struggling, unexpected affairs come with no clues. We have to deal with them, usually feel exhausted and overwhelmed, even sink into extreme despression. It hurts to be painful. While, after years of working and living, most of those misreable things to be dealt at hand are no longer hard to cope with again. Because growth matures us to be deliberate. Only if we can, there are not problems.
Another point is about solitude. I found friends talked about this. Actually whatever we are out going or not, solitude is always there when we are alone. We come back home after work, sit around with no one else nearby after party, we are all easily going to feel lonely. Loneliness comes when we do not know and have no ideas what to do, or suddenly step into the blank of unknown life. Uncertainties usually frighten us to be at an unfixed destination, because we need to be sure we are safe and warm at where we are. Arrange well, do well, feel confident on the basis of life schedule, will reduce and alleviate such an inner terror.

- Well, if it is so hard to write out your thoughts, then why could you write this message so well? Those words are not so easy to compose even for me. That shows you can write quite well, but just not enough practice in reading and writing. Actually You have practical and your topics touch other readers, for example, you said ''Many things which are not expected are depriving our innocent life,it's disconcerting.More and more people trapped in depression.We must rescue ourselves ,let ourselves get stronger....which is quite true.

- Yes, the changing weather does shows us that nature can be forgiving and merciless. The broken branches of trees is just like the nice people we meet in society, nice people also get washed away like the snow and rain. There are so many things beyond our control that we sometimes have to surrender to fate and let nature send us to wherever it desires.
I myself also had a happy and memorable childhood. My most unwilling change was when my old home was demolished resulting in all my childhood friends to move far away. One of my childhood friends recently contacted my through Facebook and I was thrilled to hear from him. We both remembered our younger days accurately, even the small details. He is arranging a reunion in the coming Lunar new year. We both summed up our feelings when we separated years ago and contact again ........
Good bye to my trusted young friends
We have know each other since we were nine or ten
Together we have climbed the hills and trees
Learned about life and ABC
Hurt our hearts and injured our knees
Goodbye my friends, it is hard to leave
We had joy and we had fun
We had seasons in the sun.
Years later we meet again
The old East mountains remains the same
The face of friends age and fade in time.
The constant change happening around us is tearing us to pieces. We have a hard time adjusting to those changes and the result is often insecurity and helplessness. I am an emotional and weak person in adjusting to change. I don't know that is good or not because I have heard people say that emotional people are normally happy and reliable.
Future loneliness and solitude is also a threat for me. What would happen when I grow old? Would relatives and friends remain nearby? I see a lot of old people living along. There is a lady nearby who have 4 sons and she helped all 4 to buy houses but not even one could give her a room to stay and she is forced to live alone helplessly.
I guess I would have to learn to face the future more confidently. There are things in life that we could not predict or plan for. So long as I did not do evil or bad things, the lord up there would take care of me.

- Your English is not bad and you can do better by practicing writing more and read more. I just tried to write down something I thought that may bring people some suggestions or inspirations. Meanwhile, I improve it by doing exercises.

- We do not know future, so we do need to cherish what we have right now. As aging, I realize it is important to memorize something I met and experienced which I can recall them and make me feel grateful.

You got a nice childhood. Childhood was good. We played around and had fun together. When we grow up, now we seldom have that kind of chance to be with each other. Everyone has his or her life. It was that kind of phase of life journey.
Emotional people have careful and sensible feeling of life and more than to be an observant person.
We all learn throughout entire life. You are a nice man and blessed.

- last Saturday i was on self-tour in Hangzhou, when i on my back from LinYingTemple, it started snowing. That day`s weather with no good start first hazy, then raining and snowing. But i have to say Hangzhou is a peaceful city with slow walking step even though i can not see the WestLake clearly but i enjoy the seldom snowing scenery. Next spring i will back to Hangzhou again to explore its beauty i enjoy to surprise myself what i will see next second and enjoy all the novelty surroundings. All the passerby next me is all the tourist as well as me.

- Wow. You had been to here and met the right snow. You are so lucky. It does not snow so much in winter here. Last weekend, I did not expect it would snow, even the weather forecast did not have any clue of it. On that day, tourists were all exciting because the snowy scenery added another version of beauty of all spots here.

It is a good city with peaceful and moderate pace of life and work. West lake and some others resorts you can visit again when you are available. A person can feel different experience even he already has been to the same spot ever before.
Everyday I go to work in the morning, I see its beauty as a peaceful lady quietly enjoys herself. When I go back home, again, I sense she is with great enthusiasm and warmth welcoming people from home and abroad.
Welcome your next trip again.

- Nature always have the magic to change people's state of mind. Great silence and purity snow brings always soothe peoles from high tension, making us calm down and lost in thoughts.
I love the peaceful moments just as you do. But, I can not see eye to eye with you, friend, on the issue of "solitude". Solitude is something we have to endure as a human being or to be an truely independent individual. Only by being alone, we could unload all the masks we put on and be the real us, figuring out who we really are and what we really want.

- Yes, you said right. That is why I love nature. When I am free I'd rather go around to visit some places where is quiet and beautiful. Then I calm down and enjoy that kind of tranquility.
