Wake up at 5:03 a.m.
This week, in addition to waking up early, I am also developing another habit. That is to send children to school and walk 3 kilometers to a small park. (Just as I was saying these words, I heard the child in the bedroom say, "Mom, what are you talking about outside?") I went into the house and asked him to continue sleeping, and then the voice changed to typing. ）
Walking three kilometers outdoors is my time with nature and when I am alone. I will try to avoid the crowds and walk on deserted paths or grass.
I listen to songs when I wear headphones and listen to the sounds of nature when I don't wear headphones. Birdsong, trains, falling leaves...
When encountering flowers, I will lean down to smell them, I will crouch down to observe when I encounter broken bird egg shells, I will take out my mobile phone to take a picture when I encounter small mushrooms on the grass, and I will remember the folk song that my son often sings: red umbrella umbrella, white pole pole, lie on the board with me!
A ballad of warning, but he sang a cheerful nursery rhyme!
Bathed in the morning sun, walking on the grass with dewdrops, cool, very pleasant!
In the middle of the small park is a pond covered with lotus leaves and reeds. There is a gazebo on the side of the pond, and every day the pavilion is "occupied" by three or two men, lying down, sitting, smoking, maybe they feel that brushing their mobile phones outdoors is cooler and more awake.
I didn't like the smell of smoke and could only wander around on the other side of the small pond. Occasionally there would be gusts of wind, blowing lotus leaves, and I would greedily take a deep breath, which was the most comforting thing.
Before, I thought more than once, how beautiful it would be to build a pavilion in a pond with lotus flowers, sleep on it at night, smell the lotus in the summer, and "leave the lotus to listen to the rain" in the winter.
Water birds are often seen in small ponds. A water bird walked like a fly on the lotus leaf, and after a while it dived into the water again.
Occasionally a large goldfish is seen roaming the pond, and it is said that when someone fishes, the goldfish is never hooked.
A very small green frog, sitting on a lotus leaf, quietly looked ahead, and I watched it quietly. After a while, it pounced and jumped into the water, and I walked away.
It is a 3 km walk, usually less than an hour. But the whole body and mind feel comfortable. I instantly understood what Thoreau said in The Art of Walking: If I could not spend at least four hours a day (usually more than four hours) through the woods, over the mountains, away from all the hustle and bustle of the world, I could not maintain physical and mental health.
Modern people rarely have time to walk for 4 hours, but if you take time out of nature every day and walk for half an hour, it is also beneficial to physical and mental health.
