When the leaves fall
text/Zhou Xin
In the evening, I was walking on the flood control embankment on the bank of Yuanshui. A gust of wind blew in front of me, and a few leaves floated down, so that I knew that the season had changed and autumn had come long ago.
Autumn came unknowingly, facing the sound of cicadas and the exposure to the sun. However, summer is still standing on the branches of time, lush and abundant, green. A seasonal contest, autumn kicked off at the end of summer, and couldn't wait.
The sound of autumn comes, and the sound of cicadas is cut. The beginning of autumn leaves us without any insight, especially this year, the temperature is as high as 40 degrees Celsius. The drought has lasted for more than two months, and the Yuanshui River has almost dried up. Summer and autumn are very indistinguishable, and there is no trace of autumn coolness, and there is still a sound of cicadas outside the window.
The seasons are changing, and life is a time to turn old. Although late summer refused to withdraw from its stage so quickly, and although the weather was still hot, the leaves still turned yellow and withered and fell.
There are also times when leaves fall in life. Going to school, finding employment and getting married is the growth period of spring and summer, and after harvest, it is the period of leaves fall in the period of harvest. You must be serious about every step. You cannot "start again" after a long step. This is life. If you take every step well, life will bring meaning and value.
Walking in the time of growth, the beauty is hidden in my heart, blooming quietly, and fragrance is still coming. Those beautiful and warm pasts often create wonderful scenery in my heart. Let my life be filled with hope in the changes of seasons.
The simple life I like, a cup of tea, a song, a book, and the sunshine in that window, every object, the melody of every music, the story of every chapter, and the warmth of every ray of sunshine are blooming with the beauty of time.
I want to live a transparent life. Because people who truly live a clear life know what they need and what they should do, and can grasp the bottom line of life well. Because people who live a clear life can take every step of their life steadily and be the best self.
People should live for their ancestors, for future generations, and even more for themselves. I am grateful to God and gave me the like-minded and gave my heart a home. Let my life be protected. Love is a kind of happiness; protection is even more of happiness.
Time flies, although time changes our faces, the true love between each other is always young, and love is always young. Time has allowed me to meet her in the most beautiful years, so let us support each other together, silently engrave each other in the hearts on the road of life, carve into life, and slowly grow old together in the cycle of seasons.
It is because of her on the road of life that I have happiness, and it is because of her on the road of love that I have a little more warmth. The heart that loves her is like the bright moonlight at night, brightening my world; and like the hot sun in the sky during the day, warming each other's lives.
Time is like water, and true love is in love. I would like to accompany her through every day, from green to old age, from morning light to sunset, from flowers to flower pavilions. Because of her in my life, I live harder, live a joyful taste, and live the wonderful life.
I put love and warmth in my heart, turn boredom into a romantic house, let love in my heart, let life be full of poetry and painting, let myself have a good attitude, have a heart that is soft and kind to the world, and let all beauty surround her.
Because I have love in my heart, I have grown up healthily in spring and summer and I live a very happy life.
Through middle age, we entered the autumn of life, without the appearance of youth, without the simplicity of childhood, without the passion of youth, what is left is the perception of life and the precipitation of life; I really understand the more I live, the more I understand that fame, wealth, money and status are all things outside of my body, and I will not bring it to life or death. I will race against time desperately every day, pursuing the happiness and happiness I want.
Looking back, I feel like flowers and plants on the streets, blooming quietly in the quiet time, without reason, and without seeking results. With expectation and meditation, I do what I want to do, love the people I can love, simplify the complexity, eliminate falsehood and seek truth, do not care about other people's eyes and words, just live happily according to my own wishes, and live a comfortable life.
When I enter the fallen leaves of life, I am determined to take off my obsession and attachment, stay sober, take everything lightly, be cautious but not fight, accumulate and settle, and everything goes with the flow. You need to do enough subtraction, choose what you need, no longer pursue material things too much, and be spiritually rich and can only be noble and far away. With a normal heart, walk into the autumn of life with your head held high, bravely face the scorching heat and storms of life, and walk out of the golden autumn of life.
Seeing the falling leaves and the withered Yuanshui, I also saw the changes of the seasons, adjusted the choices for the rest of my life, and walked towards the future more firmly!
