Fine day after rain
Hot 1 |
After entering the Grain Rain, which is the sixth solar term and also the last one during spring, the rain frequently visits at any time. I assume the rain spell has already come and finally realize it is not the right time, and now it is still spring.
In two weeks, summer comes. My friend says summer would be the sign that autumn is not far away. Lord, how time flies. As if it now just goes back from the chilly winter. The greenery now evolves more fresh and vivid, since the color of those green leaves strengthens the outline of trees. Wet ground definitely adds the score of its beauty. When the rain stops temporarily, the wet land is soaked smoothly to mirror the reflection of sky and everything around from puddle to puddle.
This period is the ideal moment to take a nap in daytime. It would be nicer if there is a comfortable bed to rest up followed under the companion of symphonic rain chord. The best option is to bring the umbrella because there is no guarantee if it would be raining again.
The traditional town with waters as if the errand to narrate legend in silence. In the yard, heat some water to make a cup of green tea which is surely to consume the whole afternoon whatever you are alone or with friends. The aroma from the tea expels tiredness and anxiety. The difference between the tea and coffee is, the former can be recycled to pour water for about three and four times which still remains the fragrance and that unique taste and keeps you refreshed, the latter can only drink in one time. That is why people are so willing to stay in a tea house spending half day there and ordering tea to talk with friends or ponder alone.
The changeable weather sometimes makes emotion fluctuate, after several days’ raining, it suddenly stops. The mind sharply turns into clear and bright. World does not end up even though something unexpected happened. Why not just sit down and think over something that might trigger happiness from good memory and let those unpleasant experience be melt and evaporated into the air.

- You reminded me how fast time is passing. Oh my god, Spring is almost over. When people talk about time passing, they would say 20 Springs have passed, so spring is an important mark in the time of seasons. There is a kind of uncomfortable feeling in my heart seeing time passing so fast. The younger ones are growing into adults, our golden years are slow passing and our parents have aged. Half of our lifetime is gone already and nobody knows what the future holds for us.
The rain was pouring down yesterday and when it rains so heavy, we tend to think so many things. Although life has been good to me, nobody can say for sure what is ahead of us. Looking at my town, I see the elders pass away one by one, friends move far away to make a living and the younger ones are preparing for their future. The old familiar buildings are being torn down and replaced by unfriendly tall glass buildings. The east mountains remain the same but the faces of people have changed beyond recognition.
Perhaps I am a bit emotional. People say emotional people are happy. I am more on the happy side, but it is hard for emotional people to accept change, so it is not easy for me too.
In China, the water towns are so impressive and nice. The slow pace of life is the best one can expect. Having a cup of original Chinese and chatting with friends at a simple tea house seems so attractive for us mechanical city people.
Spring is in it's full glory. The plants and flowers are in full bloom. This is the most beautiful time of the year. I am enjoying it to the full. Time won't stand still and soon Spring would be over. Lets enjoy it while the going is good.

I also own that kind of feeling as you do. It passes so fast. Right now, I find it is really presious and I have to keep it carefully. Since I do not know where is the end, and how long I can hold my time which belongs to me. Since sometimes I unconciously have time elapsed so easily without any worry. When I am looking back what I have done before, over those years, I do feel there is a must for me to seize the currnet time and have it firmly grasped in my hands.
The cozy weather do not last longer. Summer is there. All of stories and shopping malls are seeling summer clothes about a one and half month ago. Every moment when I pass those shops, I realize summer is near to come. Those shops are best intermedias to tell us of season changing.
All right, just hold the time and make it meaningful.
