Always His “Babies”..

I happened to be with WK. We met his father. His father was working at that moment as a waiter, yet upon seeing his son, he appeared so jovial and came over and chatted so light-heartedly with WK. There was much warmth in their casual exchanges. I exchanged greetings with his father too. Although it was the first time we met, he even teased WK to give me a treat. Ha..

What I’m describing seems to be such a normal thing between a father and son. However I still find it heart-warming knowing that WK is 39 year-old and his dad should be easily past 65 year-old.

Perhaps, in the father’s eyes, his sons and daughters are always his “babies”. Age is never an issue.

I then ask, in our own eyes, is our father always our dear daddy – the way we emotionally/physically/psychologically clinched on when we were really their babies? The thought of 老莱子 (in 戏彩娱亲) springs to my mind now. :)

~ Holding Hands ~
A father holding the hand of his baby may be thinking :
This is the time I can hold your hands. When you grow older, you may not want me to hold your hands anymore.
A father kissing his baby may also be thinking :
This is the time you allow me to kiss you and like my kisses, you may not let me kiss you when you grow older.

有一位圣者这么说：

重新检视我对天之奉献，深层反思我待人之心念。
谦逊必须是真实态度，过于自损是一种惯性伪善。
真实是看清自我缺失，了解本身能力界限。
不必刻意褒贬自己，只须认知精进应是无间断。
礼仪非规范，德格贵在自然。
导心误差，莫只企图改变世界茫乱。
