Indeed, autumn is always a season that makes people
sentimental.
The charm of autumn lies in its ability to evoke endless thoughts in
people's minds. When a leaf falls quietly from in front of you and lands at
your feet, even though it is so ordinary, its yellowed color and cool
atmosphere are enough to evoke that non-ordinary, slightly melancholic
feeling in your heart.
Autumn brings sorrow to the heart. For some reason, sadness is often
considered the sentiment of autumn. Perhaps it is because of its desolation
and its dimness, but I prefer to see it as a state of calmness and
restraint. Its unassuming image makes autumn even more beautiful.
On the bus ride home, I saw an elderly couple. Their old and wrinkled skin,
gray hair, and stooped bodies showed the marks of time on them. They sat
next to each other, supporting each other. Although they did not communicate
much, the look in their eyes revealed a sense of peace and warmth. People
often say, "Buddha said that five hundred glances in the previous life are
exchanged for a passing by in this life. To be able to walk together and
live together for most of their lives is already a great blessing." Soon,
they got off the bus and walked shakily down a boulevard lined with Chinese
parasol trees. The rolling clouds, the clear autumn breeze, and the rustling
of the Chinese parasol leaves...all of this made me feel a sense of peace
and harmony in life, just like autumn.
We have come to this season after half a year, and the end of the year seems
to be not far away. It's like a person who has gone through his youthful
years, the exuberance and madness are no longer there. At this point, we
can't help feeling a little lost. But different stages of life have their
special beauty, and life is more than just a bit of excitement. We don't
need to feel depressed about the past that will never return. For example,
we yearn for our childhood, and always lament that the carefree days of
childhood are gone. But where is the energy and ambition of youth, the
determination and passion of young adulthood, the maturity and profundity of
middle age, and the calm and tranquility of old age? We don't have time to
lament, we only have to seize the time to discover the beauty of the
present. Life is wonderful everywhere!
Spring does not have the maturity and refinement of autumn, summer does not
have the delicacy and coolness of autumn, and winter does not have the
romance and tranquility of autumn. Why not appreciate and cherish this
beautiful season that is about to leave? |
