Miss the Poet

Last year I visited Yichang and looked at Zigui on the boat. It was the hometown of Qu Yuan, where he wrote Orange Song.  My friend said that oranges are the navel oranges here. Its so sweet that you shouldn't miss it.  It's a pity that I walked hurriedly and went to the market for a while and couldn't find the oranges. I went back to Hong Kong to find the orange song and looked at it again. Only then did I know that although the orange flavor is sweet, the spirit of the orange is still there.  It is the poem I should not have missed.  Today is Dragon Boat Festival, miss the poet.  I believe he is still blessing us.

Happy Father's Day

  竹桿擔子兩肩挑
   呵呵大笑用力搖
    小小世界這麼大
     人間苦惱忘記了

loads are on my shoulder
they are dancing on my swing
the world is so small yet so big
your happiness is my  only concern

I knew that

I knew that...........


明知帶唔走
何苦強佔有
物質與心靈
似乎須研究
根基在於心
心清通宇宙
肉慾迷心志
污穢染地球
烏雲不阻日
合眼懶追求
混亂從此起
世界有煩憂
恐懼無端發
食色當自由
搶掠為生計
骯髒又下流
限制人發展
不許人生存
人類往前進
合作大步走
簡單道理在
光明在我手
捨命求物質
錯想壞念頭
心靈統萬物
內外君知否
人類何所往
目標全通透
俗世渾無知
熙攘避憂愁
艱難惟立志
智慧有謀籌
快樂在今生
幸福有人收

I knew that all is not mine after life, why keep it?
What is mind and what is matter?
Why is it important?
Mind is founation,
Mind leads the way.
Mind communicates with the universe.
Desire makes a person blind.
Dirt replaces the planet.
Its unbearable.
How can clouds block the sun?
If you have not closed  your eyes.

Chaos starts and the world annoys.
Fears confuse mind
Lusts overcomes freedom
Robbing for a livelihood is
filthy and downgraded as
humans are noble.
Why block the way?
Why not let others live?
We cooperate and we are hope.
Its so simple an idea, just like you have truth at hand.
why exchange a life for the  external rubbish?
Because there have not been thinking.
We need to use our mind.
Do you know the inner and the external things?
We need to know where we are going.
With our mind we have an aim.
The most difficult part is to make up the mind.
Too many have never made up their mind.
We would solve all problems with  wisdom.
We would be happy,
Enjoying the eternal peace.

What is me?

9257xx What is me？20200611

It is not a sad thing for me when I was forced to give up my collection of books. I did not have enough space to store my books. It happened three times. I picked only a few and give up all of the rest. I knew it pretty well that things were just like this. Important is whether you had digested your books and I did.

They were parts of me now.

The next thing comes to the collection of my photos. It was kept in my mobile for quite a time, and when I tried to retrieve some of them, it was not easy.

What do I need them for if I am leaving? I meant to leave for another world and nothing can be brought together with me. However, they were parts of me also.

Not only my books, but my treasured memories too. They were me and they would part with me.

It is so simple a matter I wonder why people can seldom understand it.

What is me?

I am the one who had digested many valuable thoughts. And I do believe my thoughts could be received by someone else.

It was exactly like a small grass on the lawn. The grass could grow up and could bring in something for the future. And so are we.

What are we?

We are increasing and I am part of we.

We are the increasing and the growing.

We are hope and we are tomorrow.

What is the point?

This is so simple an idea and were repeated so many times. What is the point?

The point is if we cannot understand so simple a thing, we would go astray.

We would turn ourselves into materialistic devils and could bring unhappiness to the world.

You can never put materials into your life, but by robbing others, you can bring unhappiness into this world.

Materialistic greed is the most dangerous trend of human beings.

It is not power that brings in corruption, but materialistic greed. Power is just another tool of the human beings, but materialistic greed is the source of ultimate corruption.

If we are to fight for a better future, we must know the basic nature of human life.

That meant we are souls more than bodies. Bodies are corruptible, but souls not.

Then we can have a simple conclusion:

To serve is happy, while to rob is not.

It is the reason why we need to serve not to rob.

What is me?

I would say, I am a server.
