Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit

Spiritual Wellness

[1,000 Days Ago In Huanglong] 🌿🌍🍞 Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread. — Edward Abbey // 自然不是奢侈品,而是人类精神的必需品。它对我们的生活至关重要,就好像水和面包一样。 Zìrán bùshì shēchǐ pǐn, ér shì rénlèi jīngshén de bìxūpǐn. Tā duì wǒmen de shēnghuó zhì guān zhòngyào, jiù hǎoxiàng shuǐ […]

In life, you will meet two kinds of people, some are like wine and some are like water

World Water Day

[1,000 days ago, I was in Mounigou.] 🍷💧🤔 In life, you will meet two kinds of people, some are like wine and some are like water. The difference between them is that wine is unforgettable and water is hard to give up. // 生命中你会遇到两种人,有些像酒,有的似水,他们的区别在于,酒难忘,水难舍。 Shēngmìng zhòng nǐ huì yù dào liǎng zhǒng rén, yǒuxiē xiàng […]

Leisurely, I recite a verse or two

Recite A Verse

Mệt mỏi với thành phố chật chội và chanh chua. Rất khao khát được phục hồi tâm trạng nhanh chóng giữa tự nhiên. Leo một ngọn núi, uống một ly trà, nghe một ca khúc, lặng nhìn mây bay, ngắm mặt trời lặn. Cần lắm 30.000 bước chân đơn độc giải tỏa tâm trạng nhạy […]

If your heart is like a mirror, it won't provoke dust

Clarity

🧘‍♂️🌬️✨ སེམས་ནི་མེ་ལོང་བཞིན། ཐལ་རྡུལ་མི་དགོས། // If your heart is like a mirror, it won’t provoke dust. // 心如明镜,不惹尘埃。 Xīn rú míngjìng, bù rě chén’āi. // Tâm như minh kính, bất nhạ trần ai. // Lòng như gương soi, không vướng bụi trần. P.s.: Picture taken in Mounigou Valley, Huanglong, Ngawa (Aba) Prefecture, Sichuan, China in 2019.

Probably the biggest advantage of growing up is that you can eat ice cream not only during the summer vacation

Growing Up Benefits

🍦😊🕰️ Probably the biggest advantage of growing up is that you can eat ice cream not only during the summer vacation. // 长大最大的好处大概就是可以不仅仅在暑假的时候吃冰淇淋了。 Zhǎng dà zuìdà de hǎochù dàgài jiùshì kěyǐ bùjǐn jǐn zài shǔjià de shíhòu chī bīngqílínle. // Trường đại tối đại đích hảo xử đại khái tựu thị khả dĩ bất cận […]

Eat a bowl of earthly fireworks and drink a few cups of life's ups and downs

Savoring Life

🍲🍷🌆 Eat a bowl of earthly fireworks and drink a few cups of life’s ups and downs. // 食一碗人间烟火,饮几杯人生起落。 Shí yī wǎn rénjiān yānhuǒ, yǐn jǐ bēi rénshēng qǐluò. // Thực nhất oản nhân gian yên hỏa, ẩm kỷ bôi nhân sinh khởi lạc. // Ăn một bát khói lửa nhân gian, uống mấy chén […]

Fleeting Youth

🍷⏳🌫️ The wine glass is too shallow to toast to the long days ahead, and the alley is too short to walk until our hair turns gray. It’s not that youth cannot hold onto their old hearts, but that time’s mercilessness unsettles the human heart. // 酒杯太浅,敬不到来日方长,巷子太短,走不到白发苍苍,不是年少守不住旧心,而是岁月无情慌了人心。 Jiǔbēi tài qiǎn, jìng bù dào láirìfāngcháng, xiàngzi […]

Don't worry about the lack of confidants in the road ahead

Lack Of Confidants

🤗🛣️🤔 Don’t worry about the lack of confidants in the road ahead, And that no one in the world knows you. // 莫愁前路无知己, 天下谁人不识君。 Mò chóu qián lù wú zhī jǐ, Tiān xià shéi rén bù shí jūn. // Mạc sầu tiền lộ vô tri kỷ, Thiên hạ thùy nhân bất thức quân. // Chớ […]
