It did not take much for me to be happy

通常早上上班乘搭地铁时,我的包包里一定有一本书,陪伴我那段冗长的旅途。
最近看的书,叫'EARLY MORNING RAIN'by BEACHCOMBER.
拥有这本书好多年了,却一直晒在书橱里。
那天,整理家时,抽了出来,看了起来。

是最近的心境改变了吧!
越看越有味道。

今天,看到一段文字,欲罢不能,偏偏我的站到了。
于是,勉强起身,出了地铁车厢门口,就站立不动,站在楼梯间看完这一段。
与你分享:

"One morning, as i sat by the open window watching the dawn sweeping away the dark with a silver broom, i had the feeling that time was standing still. This is all the time there is, i felt. Immortality is not something to be found only at death. It is here and now. What was born in me that dawn was worth more than any wisdom i ever gleaned from books......................"

"On this particular morning, as i watched the golden rays of the early morning sun bathe the horizon with a blue hue, it occurred to me that my main problem was not fear of what might happen today, but that i was continually plagued by fear of the future. I began to realize that it is not what i want in life. Instead, i should consider each day a miniature lifetime, which it really is........."

"As this idea took hold, i began each day with a clearer mind. i was more aware of my environment, and it did not take much for me to be happy. I looked forward to each day. I had more energy to concentrate on my work, and i discover a vital truth: one good day leads to another. And best of all, those high moments returned..........."

"As i drank in this intoxicating draught, I had the feeling that i was not separate and distinct from the life and beauty around me, but a pulsating part of it. The entire universe was alive, a single entity,and somehow, i fitted in like a small piece of a jig-saw puzzle. I konw now for certain, if i had not realized it before, that, as so many sages have said: the Kingdom of Happiness and Heaven is indeed within oneself."

不知道为何,看完这段文字,内心好快乐,喜悦。
满溢的快乐,跟随我的脚步,边踩边撒。
这个早上,快乐到不想上天堂。

再次领悟,快乐,不需要拥有太多。
一本好书,一段启思的文字,就可以是快乐、满足的一天。

顺便一提,6月30日,是我失业一周年的日子。
明天,会买一个小蛋糕来庆祝。

哈哈!试问,普天之下,有多少人可以逍遥一年呢?
如果不看银行的数目字,我真的是个好快乐的小女人。
看了,我就是一个好穷却还要养情夫的悲惨小女人了。

明天,会许个愿。

还在思考,我是否该许个‘年年都旅行’的愿望呢?
还是‘找份好工’的愿望?
或者‘找个我爱+爱我的人嫁了’的愿望?

还有2小时,慢慢想。
原来,快乐这么简单、容易的说。
