Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head..

Recently, we heard many “complaints” about the rain.
Going out is indeed slightly more inconvenient, considering it is practically raining the whole day throughout the island yesterday (and some other days). And we cannot participate in our favourite activities ; we cannot... blah blah blah...

Now that I’m typing this, the grounds are still wet outside.

Actually, I like raining. There is some inconvenience, I have to agree, but I don’t mind. The sound of the rain, coupled with that of the wind or even the thunder are music to my ears. However, I do hope the rain is not heavy enough to cause flood, mud-slide or other disasterous matter. I wouldn’t like to see that.

其实，最期待的还是雨后的彩虹。
当然，雨后不一定就会有彩虹。
但是，彩虹的出现总是在雨后。

A quick snap along the road, yesterday.

Not too long ago, we also heard many “complaints” about the haze.

That only shows we love the sun so much. Yes? No?

But if we were to go a little further back, say in July or August, we would also have heard many “complaints” about the hotness of the weather as well.

Heh.. That only shows ..
老天爷不容易作啊。哈哈…

Maybe, we could concentrate on what we can do in the given situation rather than what we cannot do given the long-life rain, choking haze, scorching heat, etc..

Maybe, too much of anything is no good.
We like things to be “moderate”, to be more “predictable”, not too dry, not too wet, not too cold, not too hot, not too windy, not too …

In reality..
台湾正在过一个不象冬天的冬天 …、
在世界各地，
「这里」有水灾、同时「那里」有旱灾 …、
「这里」太热、同时「那里」冷 …、等等。
为何近年来，气候似乎有些反常?

有一位作者这么说：

人生可以估算的年龄，约可分为生理的与心理的。
生理的年龄，可因恰当的保养，
而有效地延长，但终究难逃大限所催；
心理的年龄，也可因智慧心境的扎实历练，
以日趋成熟，当然有时也难免生住异灭的变化所碍。

我们不是刻意地追求色身的福寿康泰，
也不只是在求心理的稳健成熟，
而是要回归到生命的活水源头(良心善性)。

在这里见证出「菩萨菩萨，年年十八」的常青精神，
在这里一切众生都是“无量寿”，
都是具足无量光明、智慧、慈悲的本来面目。
