即然如此, 我们有何必为自己的好而沾沾自喜, 为一时的不如意而愁眉深锁呢! 反正无论好坏, 一切都会过去, 不是吗?
后来渐渐了解什么叫做活在当下, 吃饭时好好吃饭, 睡觉时"放心"睡觉.

'I don't understand,' he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, 'And you never will.'
Later the little boy asked his father, 'Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?'
'All women cry for no reason,' was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, 'God, why do women cry so easily?'
God said:
'When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world,
yet gentle enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.'
'You see my son,' said God, 'the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides.'
第二天早晨, 老魏准时到酒店接我, 魏夫人以及三个介于七岁至十五岁的孩子也随行. 车子开往美里"加拿大山", 把车泊好后便开始"生命之旅"
由於凌晨下了一阵小雨, 山路呈现一片湿沥沥. 大夥往前走, 先是一小段下坡路, 心想这可难不倒我. 没多久来到一个倾斜六十五度左右的下山路, 我带着重达九十五公斤的身躯, 小心翼翼的一小步接着一步的依靠着周围的树木, 并延着"前人"留下的脚印往下走, 没想到这一小段路竟耗费了我九牛二虎之力才得以顺利抵达坡底.
定下神回过气, 这才发觉跟前有条潺潺小溪, 片片落叶随溪飘流, 林雾, 溪水声, 虫鸣, 落叶, 微风, 新鲜空气... 正想要停下来好好歇息, 观赏美景时, 突然惊觉全身上下无处不受蚊子兵团猛烈攻击, 想想不为发生做反应, 只为结果去行动, 於是又快步跟上, 纵然美景当前.....
这又走了一段崎岖不平的山路, 往左边鸟瞰眺望, 一片林景尽收眼底, 仔细再看看脚下往左不及五尺处可是布满了树枝的深崖, 这不禁让人捏了一把冷汗... 谁说走路可以不用心.
此时此刻, 心想自己可是有心无力了, 但身后还跟着魏夫人及魏大千金, 树要皮人要脸, 妇孺都不喊苦, 七尺之躯岂可临阵退缩, 於是又硬着头皮, 咬紧牙根抓起绳索往上攀, 就只爬两步, 当下马上决定从今天开始, 非得要减重不可!
此一步非彼一步, 首先山路湿沥, 再者又得往倾斜八十度, 高五十余尺的山坡攀爬, 然而这几十分钟下来的种种"经历", 己让我"面目全非", 身心几乎无法负荷. 先前还特别注意别把衣服, 鞋子弄肮了, 此时己兼顾不了这么多, 只能"用心"的踏出每一步, 只担心一个不小心往下掉, 跌伤了自已还不打紧, 若这"庞然大物"压着了随后跟上的两位女士, 那可真是...对人不住了.
此时心中不做他想, 继续奋进, 往上攀爬. 每一跨步都在当下, 一跨步, 一生命, 这才发觉自己前所未有的对生命如此认真..... 此刻的顿悟, 感觉真的好棒! 攀爬的当下不再四处张望, 也不再顾虑还得爬多久才能抵达顶端, 只要方向对了, 继续攀爬, 并把每一步都走好了, 顶端也就不远了.
当攀上顶峰的那一刹那, 当下对自已在这一小段过程的认真, 坚毅, 信念还是有小小的自豪与感动..... (喂喂! 醒醒...那对很多人来说只不过是小儿科而已)
