20 18 Sunday, April 22nd? very good

Every morning is a pleasant invitation, which makes my life as simple as nature-maybe I can say-pure.

Walden is a collection of essays by American writer henry david thoreau. It is a record of Thoreau's Loneliness by Walden Lake, which describes what he saw, heard and thought for more than two years.

This is a quiet, quiet and intelligent book, advocating simple life and loving natural scenery. It is rich in content, profound in meaning and vivid in language. This is a book that explores nature and human mind.

This is the third time I have read Walden. I first read it in high school. The Chinese teacher said it was a masterpiece, so I borrowed it from Xingyuan Library. After reading it, I don't feel much, only that the language is beautiful, and the description of natural scenery makes people yearn for it, but the rest can't be understood and understood. Now think about it, how can you understand the essence of the book with that immature mentality? That's a real pity.

The second reading was thirty years later. I took my children to Xinhua Bookstore to buy books, and happened to see Walden in front of me. I picked it up and looked at it. I opened it this time, which is very different from the feeling in high school. A little voice in my heart said to me, "This is a book worth collecting by my pillow. Buy it back! " So I bought this book without hesitation.

The third reading is this week. Among many books, I choose to reread Walden. Not because I have this book at hand, but when I read this book, my impetuous heart will calm down.

Especially at night, with a lamp and a book, we can swim freely in the crystal-clear Walden Lake with Thoreau, greet the dawn in the quiet countryside and follow the sun with brisk steps. ...

At this time, people's whole body and mind are relaxed and comfortable, and people's mind and nature are also integrated. Everything is simple, simple, simple again. Let time pass slowly from your body and mind like water, from which you can realize the full meaning of life.

This book consists of 65,438+08 short articles. In the cycle of the four seasons, Thoreau's inner longing, conflict, disappointment, self-adjustment and the complicated mental journey of longing again after adjustment repeated several times until it was finally realized.

Open the book and start with a simple life. You will see Thoreau coming out of the hut he built by the lake, with clear eyes and calm heart, and walking at dawn with light steps.

The Vedas say, "All wisdom wakes up at dawn". Dawn is a new life, and Thoreau is the active and energetic man who always walks in the dawn.

He abandoned material and wealth, stayed away from worldly affairs and hubbub, and went to Walden alone, leading a simple and self-reliant secluded life. Everything is so simple and natural. He enjoys the solitude of seclusion, indulges in the romance between man and nature, pursues the harmony between nature and soul, and writes down extraordinary loneliness with his heart.

You can go with Thoreau to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Walden Lake in spring, summer, autumn and winter, or you can sit in the morning light and quietly appreciate his tall and straight posture following the sun.

Walden Lake after the arrival of spring. Finally, it was frozen, and "all the trifles before the arrival of spring" became insignificant under the light of spring. "The rays of the sun form a right angle, and the warm wind blows away the fog and rain." In this way, a new life began its own life. "The arrival of spring is very similar to the beginning of chaos, the creation of the universe and the reappearance of the golden age."

Lake in winter. "White Lake and Walden Lake are two huge crystals on the earth's surface. They are beautiful lakes ... "

18 essays all run through the main line of "returning to nature". Thoreau constantly pointed out in his book that most of us modern people are trapped by family, work and various material needs, losing spiritual pursuit and living a materialistic life.

This situation still exists today, and it is getting worse and worse. Many of us pay little attention to things other than trivial personal interests and activities. Many people's spiritual activities are too limited, and they only care about material life and sensory enjoyment. In Thoreau's words, our life cannot be called "real life".

If we have the desire to find "real life", we might as well read Walden. This book will bring you a shocking power. The author's thinking about life makes your heart as clear as Walden Lake. Will make you feel awe, so a person's life is like this.

Thoreau's life seems simple but fragrant, although short but profound. He wants to encourage people to simplify their lives and spare limited time to go deep into nature and life to taste life. Through his own life experience, he told the world not to be confused by the complicated and even extravagant life, thus losing the true direction and meaning of life.

The simple life he said is to let us get rid of our inner emotional anxiety in exchange for real peace and tranquility. In impetuous disorder, we can keep a calm mind, in the frenzy of material desires, we can not lose "simplicity", and in temptation and exile, we can maintain a complete spirit.

The author's pursuit of loneliness by Walden Lake is actually a profound pursuit. He wants to think and explore life with a lonely mind, and he has completed the dialogue with nature again and again with his heart. In his Conclusion, he preached his lifestyle and ideals to everyone:

"Don't give me love, money, fame and truth! Life in our bodies is like flowing water. Novelty keeps pouring into the world, but we are enduring incredible stupidity. "
