When people reach middle age, the most rare thing is to learn to observe.
When you look at it, you see the outside and the inside.
Between the ups and downs of external prosperity and inner joy, we can find a normal heart, a patience, a quiet heart, and a happy heart.
The so-called stability in daily life, joy in time.
Su Dongpo, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, came to the depressed and remote Huangzhou from the bustling and busy Huzhou in middle age.
At this time, Su Dongpo's hurried footsteps stopped, he was drenched in the most violent wind and rain in his life, and his life also had more thinking and more insights.
Su Dongpo's life, because of this part of the road in middle age, this rain, has become broad and profound, introverted and calm.
When we are in a hurry, we always stare ahead, with no time to stop and no leisure to ponder.
And when he was demoted to Huangzhou, Su Dongpo began to understand loneliness, and in the face of loneliness, he also enjoyed loneliness.
Many friends have been far away, and Su Dongpo needs to face the lonely life of lack of food and clothing and depression alone.
For a person, maybe loneliness is the essence of life, and maybe it is inevitable to take a lonely road.
When he was particularly lonely and lonely, Su Dongpo walked towards the landscape, reading the calmness of the landscape in the years, and reading the tranquility of the landscape in the changes.
When the boat was swimming under the red cliffs, the surging river once recorded Cao Cao's ambition, and the surging river also recorded the pride of Zhou Yu.
History passes quietly, and the once mixed footsteps are gradually gone, but the mountains and rivers are still so tranquil and calm.
In the reading of the landscape, Su Dongpo opened up his vision and pulled his gaze away.
Under the distant gaze, life is like a landscape, but it is just a journey of ups and downs and twists and turns.
On this road, there are flowers full of eyes, there are branches and leaves depressed, there are colorful clouds full of sky, and there are bright moons and clear lights.
We are on this path, sometimes we may take a few steps tighter, and sometimes we may slow ourselves.
But it is inevitable to be lonely, to be lonely, to be alone with the bright moon, alone with the starlight, and to listen to your own empty footsteps alone.
Learn to walk alone, learn to read changes, read history, and read landscapes, this is the road that Su Dongpo walked in middle age.
On this section of the road, Su Dongpo saw the mountains, heard the sound of the waves, knew how to meditate, and learned to whisper.
Middle-aged is to see the bearing of loneliness on your own road, and learn to silently tell yourself what is on your mind.
For Su Dongpo, the Wutai poetry case was a pouring rain, which made him see vulnerability, struggle, endurance, and calmness.
For a person, the slanting wind and drizzle is a faint poetry, while the pouring rain is a merciless watering.
When the rain pours down from the sky, a small umbrella will not do anything, it will only make you more embarrassed and depressed.
Therefore, Su Dongpo simply let himself walk and walk in the wind and rain with a bamboo cane and a pair of shoes.
When the wind is stronger, when the rain is louder, listen to your footsteps through the forest leaves, listen to your own lone howl in the wind and rain, and sing in the wind and rain.
When life chooses to endure, the wind and rain are not enough to stop the pace of progress.
When the roar in the wind and rain is regarded as a part of life, then, what is there to be afraid of in life, and what is there to sigh about?
The wind and rain of life cannot be avoided, and the wind and rain of life will eventually pass.
When you are middle-aged, if you are drenched in a rain, you will know that in fact, life is inevitably stormy, bow your head, walk over, the wind and rain will eventually pass, and the sky will always be clear.
Su Dongpo once said:To ask about life's work?Huangzhou, Huizhou, Danzhou.
Life really grows up, matures, and is introverted, in fact, it starts with setbacks.
Frustration makes people learn to look down, and frustration also makes people learn to let go.
Just like what Su Dongpo realized under the red cliff, isn't Cao Cao's ambition great?And Zhou Yu's plan is not full of wisdom?
Right and wrong, right and wrong, persistence and persistence in front of us are actually just my own views standing here.
When people reach middle age, when there are no longer only straight lines in front of them, but when they see the peaks and loops, and when they see that life needs to draw circles, their hearts will be wider, and there will be more roads.
When you let go of your hands, you can hold on to more things, and when you open your heart, you can see more scenery.
The water is clear and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy", which contains the sunshine, the rain, the mountains, and the water, which is the real West Lake, and this is the perfect life.
There are poems, paintings, wind, rain, wine, good food, summer rain, and winter snow, which is the breadth of Su Dongpo's heart, and this is also the consummation of Su Dongpo's life.
Writer Liang Shiqiu once said: The fun of middle age lies in knowing yourself better, understanding life, so as to enjoy the life you can enjoy and do what you can do.
Life is a process of enjoyment, whether it is wind, rain, loneliness, or excitement, have a normal heart, know how to enjoy, learn to meditate, you can see the perfection of life, enjoy the beauty of life.
Towards middle age, let us no longer be anxious, no longer hesitate;
In middle age, let's read more and listen more;
After going through middle age, let us bear more and be more indifferent.
In middle age, listen to the sound of the wind and rain in your heart, let yourself walk calmly, see the ups and downs of life, see the richness of life, and see the fulfillment of life.
