Chapter 735: Approach you

Approach you

March 14: Approach you

All the stars in the sky were covered by thick clouds, only the moon occasionally revealing a hint of red light from the gaps in the clouds. ――――

That heavenly mystery, "Birds wish to be a cloud, clouds wish to be a bird," what about people on earth? Could it be "People wish to be a flower, flowers wish to be a person"?

Everyone wants to be as beautiful as a flower, but flowers, too, would not mind being as wise as a person. Among all things in the world, humans are the most precious. Yet people sometimes do not know their own preciousness, treating wealth as precious. Hence the saying, "People die for wealth, birds perish for food."

And yet, "All the languages I have learned, all the languages I have written" cannot be expressed clearly; people cannot even understand themselves clearly, which may be precisely the mystery of humanity itself.

In this hazy world, not everything can be understood clearly by people. A person is a riddle, and humanity is unknowable. ――――――

"The eye says: 'You surpass what I have seen.' The heart says: 'The far shore of sight and hearing is not satisfied with mystery —— you are an envoy from the far shore, as when night deepens and the stars appear before the earth.' Then I suddenly realized the 'unknowable' within me, the feeling I had not found, time is updating.' Of course, not only time is updating, but all things in the world are updating. The ancients said: 'If one renews oneself daily, day after day, again and again.' Therefore Laozi said: 'Having no thing yet mixed, before heaven and earth were produced. Standing alone without fault, moving without waiting.' Of course, Laozi's words are not trustworthy; those untrustworthy words, these words, their phrasing flickers, is vague and ambiguous, most easily leading people astray."

The poet says: ——

"If life deceives you,"

"Don't be sorrowful, don't be gloomy!"

"You must endure the days of regret;"

"Please believe,"

"Happy moments will come."

"The spirit always looks forward to the future."

"Although, reality sometimes will"

"make people feel bored"

"But, everything passes in an instant,"

"Everything before your eyes will become the past"

"And all that is past,"

"will seem wonderful."

"You hear, the birds again"

"are singing joyfully in the forest"

"Life, how I wish to approach you"

"Approach you,"

"Just like birds approaching the forest"

"Spring morning"

"Fresh flowers bloom across the fields"

"Time says: 'If spring grows old,'"

"'who will come to taste the sweetness of the fruit?'"

"Spring morning"

"I arrive at a patch of sunlight"

"shining on a flower"

"I see many people from"

"walking past that flower"

"hurried steps, hungry"

"as if chasing time"

"and also like seeking beauty"

"I also remain silent"

"I discard yesterday"

"following behind the crowd"

"to seek the future........."
