Always on the road
In fact, I like to travel not to see the beautiful scenery around me, nor to pursue freedom. Because, I have always felt that the significance of traveling is that you must enjoy your company. Because then you don't have to deliberately change yourself to cater to others.
1. Train
For myself, the train is never the means of transportation I want to choose. There is no so-called train complex, and there is no good experience, so I have to sit all the time.
I woke up many times on the train, and some people always said that it was not safe to sleep in another place. So I simply washed my face at dawn, sat by the window and looked at the scenery on both sides of the train.
After April, the morning comes early, and it is worthwhile to wake yourself up early.
The train keeps going south. I put my hand on the window glass and imagined the temperature outside. Fortunately, I chose to travel and my restless heart learned how to let it go.
Maybe this trip is not what you want, but you will know how to find your heart in disappointment.
2. Huanshan Automobile
When I sit in the car, I have to listen to music. There is always timely music in headphones. At this time, you will understand that music is the most suitable thing invented by human beings, and it allows us to learn to release and place.
First of all, I didn't know I had to change trains so many times before going to Huangshan. I checked the raiders, but it was still unexpected.
A friend in the same trade is the kind of person who walks away. I didn't. I am the one who must control everything.
It can have accidents, but it can't exceed its ability.
My friend said, you won't be free if you go out like this.
I still don't think there is any conflict between freedom and reasonable arrangement. I can meet people I may never meet in my life, and I may see scenes I can't imagine.
When I say go, it's the exchange of souls, which empties my mind, but it can't make me feel at a loss.
My freedom is that I can meet all kinds of uncontrollable things on the road, but my comfort should also have my sense of security.
So the first time I rode around the mountain, I exiled myself to music, and my eyes were exiled to the bamboo forest on the left and the cliff on the right.
In the film The Best Day, two terminally ill people decided to go on a crazy trip in the last few days of their lives. Pianist Andy has always lived in restraint and never tried anything. He only knew Mozart and Beethoven all his life. Beno, who has never lived seriously, began to learn to take care of others and began to understand that he missed love and affection.
What is the meaning of traveling? We learn to indulge by following the rules, find beauty unintentionally, and learn to keep in touch with ourselves in contemporary people who always want to keep in touch with others.
They finally rented an RV, intending to drive to the end of the world and end their short life.
I have a road plot, so I wonder if the car I am riding around the mountain is the same as theirs, leaving the same self and heading for the real freedom of my life.
I want to talk to Gu Cun.
My first stop is Hongcun, Anhui. Before going, I wrote a sentence in my notebook, hoping to meet a rain, and then I can walk around the path of the ancient town with an umbrella, touch the wall, pass by trees and cross the bridge.
Unfortunately, it had just cleared up when we arrived in the ancient town. It is still a strange article in Yuxiang, and I can't blame others.
After a simple change of clothes in the inn, I began to wander around the ancient town.
I really find that I am a person who likes to have a sense of historical existence in his bones. When I first entered the ancient town, I reached out and touched the mossy wall. I just think there's a story on it.
When I walked into the ancestral hall of the king, I stood in the ancestral hall for a long time, just standing in the middle and looking up at the sky. For the first time, I realized that there really is a sky.
Looking around, only the four sides of the sky are left, and occasionally a few clouds can be seen floating by. I really think this is history.
The beams are carved with various patterns and sacred animals guarding the ancestral temple. What impressed me the most was the gate, which was made of pure wood and about three meters high. Although it has been decorated, there are still mottled traces. It feels very warm, unlike all the gates in the city now, it feels very cold.
After that, I started wandering around the town, without planning where to go or looking at the map. I went in when I saw the door open, turned around when I saw someone drawing, and stood there for a while to see if the world in their eyes was really different.
When I was leaving the next day, I sat on the threshold of an old house for more than half an hour. The itinerary tells me to leave, but I just want to sit there and talk quietly with this ancient town.
Don't say this out loud, just say it in your heart.
You can make a wish, complain and whisper like an old friend.
You don't talk, no one listens.
If you say it, someone will listen.
Just like this ancient city, history has proved its significance, so tell me, maybe it really listened.
I want to lie on the top of the mountain.
The second stop is Huangshan Mountain. It took about three hours from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and there were not many stops on the road.
Again, climb a mountain without looking at the scenery, and look at the scenery without climbing.
There happens to be a small slope where the flying stone is located. I can lie there with a cliff at my feet.
But I just want to lie there, touch the stones and look at the sky.
The purpose of climbing a mountain is to get closer to the sky.
So I sent a video to my mother while waiting for the sunset in Danxia Peak, and I didn't think about anything else, just wanted her to look at the sky like me.
When a person is really lonely, the person you miss is the one you love the most.
I told my mother with a smile, you see the sun is so close to me, and I am lying on this big stone, next to a pine tree. You see that I am telling you these words at the top of the mountain so that the gods can hear me, and I feel that being close to the sky means being close to the gods.
When the sun goes down, I point the peach bracelet my father gave me at the sun.
I want the most sacred light to bless me through the gap in the bracelet and tell the gods to bless the person who made this bracelet.
When I was at the top of the mountain, I thought of two words, loneliness.
But I am not afraid, this loneliness is with a bright and open mind.
I remember a book saying that a person's loneliness is not loneliness. When two people are together, finding a sentence is the real loneliness.
I think our definition of loneliness is too much, but we regard loneliness as a bad thing.
There are many things we don't need to say, just know.
Lonely, but yearning.
You will understand when you stand on the top of the mountain.
Climbing the mountain, all the most anticipated things have happened.
Last year, Tomb-Sweeping Day climbed Huashan Mountain, which was a rainy night. Originally, I was most looking forward to seeing the sunrise, but in that kind of weather, there is no hope, just seeking to reach the top.
However, accidentally, I saw the sea of clouds on the top of the mountain. What's shocking is that I feel like I'm in the sky, and I feel like a fairy. "I'm a fairy."
I was really happy.
In fact, happiness means that when our expectations are not so high, we have a result that exceeds expectations. This gap can bring happiness, so we will be happy.
When climbing Huangshan Mountain this year and doing the raiders in advance, it is predicted that it will rain, so I don't have much hope for sunrise and sunset.
But in the end, I watched the sunrise and sunset again, and my satisfaction was self-evident.
Again, many times our happiness lies not in how high our expectations are, but in how low the bottom line is.
I have seen the sunrise and sunset and the sea of clouds. Although I haven't climbed the mountain several times, I have seen what I look forward to most. This is also God's mercy on me.
6. I want to throw things up the hill.
When I was in Guangmingding, I always had an idea, that is, throwing things at me on Huangshan Mountain.
I don't know why this idea came into being, but it has always existed in my mind and I can't get rid of it.
Money and the like are all things outside the body, not their own. If you lose it, you lose it for nothing.
When traveling, there are always many mistakes. At Lotus Peak, I put the cup on the side of my colleague's bag. When he was walking, he accidentally let my cup fall freely and landed at the bottom of the cliff of Lotus Peak.
My friend told me I was sorry, but I smiled happily. Because I really think so, but I don't know whether to choose to stay in the mountain. The unintentional loss of a friend made my intentional behavior complete.
This is the uncertainty and small happiness of my life.
Small water cup, have a safe trip to Huangshan.
7. When we are eighty years old.
When I climbed Huangshan Mountain, I met many old people on the road, which I didn't have when I climbed Huashan Mountain.
It may be because Huangshan Road is easy to walk, but it still needs a lot of physical strength.
When I was chatting with my mother in video, I said that many old people climbed Huangshan Mountain step by step, but they didn't climb it by cable car.
Mom says it's a good spirit. Your mother will be fine if she is eighty.
I replied, I will.
Looking back, when I was eighty years old, did I still have the strength to climb the mountain? I felt tired when I was young. Will I do it when I'm old?
I dare not make a hasty decision. I might as well make a wish here.
When we are eighty years old, we will go out and have a good look, climb mountains and see the water.
You don't have to do it yourself, but you must have a dream.
The best thing is to have someone to grow old with you.
The most extravagant thing is that when you are old, there are people who are willing to accompany you back to youth.
I hope I can see all the prosperity in my life and look back with my heart.
8. Always on the road
Strangely, this article should have been written in the last book "I am on the Road", but it stayed in this "beginning and end".
This should be fate, because we are always on the road.
If you like to travel, don't be too restrained, pack your bags and pick a place to start wandering.
If you don't like traveling, don't be afraid to find a place to go out. Try to see if the outside is the same as what you see in your computer picture.
Yes, it's good to see the scenery and listen to music. Let's talk about it later.
Travel, wander ...
Choose a place, only yourself, not worrying about fireworks, not worrying about the noise of the world, and have a spiritual collision with yourself.
Learn to talk to yourself for a few days and learn to bear this loneliness.
We've been on the road.
