乘搭火車回花蓮

每次回花蓮都是搭火車
不過每一次的旅途都不一樣
有時候是睡著度過
有時候是在看書
有時候是在聊天

這一次是醒著度過

每一次的旅途都是唯一的

沒有一次坐上同一個位子
沒有一次看到一樣的風景

這一次我才發現
原來每一次都是唯一

這一次沿途看著窗外的雲
感受到世界真的好大
天空好遼闊

看著他們變換
看著他們消失
我突然明白了無常,我看到了無常在眼前發生

這一次的旅程
我有滿滿的感受
滿滿的體會

原來我們過得每一分每一秒都是唯一
這才是我們唯一擁有的
為什麼我們還要把心放在已經過去的往事
又或者還沒到來的未來

這一刻才是唯一
我們要活在這唯一的當下
全然的活
用眼睛去看
用耳朵去聽
用身體去感受
讓身體的每一個細胞都活在當下

這一趟旅途是唯一
但我不留念
因為我要活在這個當下

Peaceful Warrior

I watched this a week ago and I thought that it would be an action movie. But out of my expectation, it turned out to be a really inspiring movie.

There are some quotes that I really love in the movie. Enjoy!

1. "Life has three rules: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

- Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste your time trying to figure it out.

- Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure

- Change: Know that nothing ever stays the same."


2. "There is never nothing going on. There are no ordinary moments."

3. "When you feel fear. Use the sword, take it up here and cut the mind to ribbons, slash through all those regrets and fears, anything else that lives in past or the future"

4. "Take out the trash from what's inside your head."

5. "A warrior is not about perfection or victory or invulnerability. He's about absolute vulnerability. That is the only true courage."

6. "There is no starting or stopping - only doing."

7. "There's no greater purpose than service to others."

8. "Everyone wants to tell you what to do and what's good for you. They don't want you to find your own answers, they want you to believe theirs."

9. "I want you to stop gathering information from the outside and start gathering it from the inside."

10. "People are not their thoughts, they think they are, and it brings them all kinds of sadness."

11. "Death isn't sad. The sad thing is: most people don't live at all."

12. "Knowledge is knowing, Wisdom is doing."

13. "Where are you? Here. What time is it? Now. Who are you? This moment."

14. "It is the journey that gives us happiness, not the destination."

15. "A warrior acts, only a fool reacts."

16. "If you don't get what you want, you suffer. And even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever."

17. "There is no better, you will never be better. Same way you'll never be less than anybody else."

18. "Habit is the problem. All you need to do is be conscious about your choices and be responsible for your actions."

19. "Every action has its price and its pleasure. Recognizing both sides a warrior becomes realistic and responsible for his actions."

20. "The ones who are hardest to love are usually the ones who need it the most."

To: All the lonely people

I just love this song by Beatles

" Eleanor Rigby"

I look at all the lonely people
I look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

All of us are poor lonely soul
waiting to be enlightened
waiting to be fulfilled

But no one can save us
except us
who allow love and care to flow into our heart

Observe people around us
Appreciate events that happen in our life
Be acceptance of everything that happen
Then you will find gratitude and love in you
