The difference between big nettle and small nettle

Physical labor makes the body and mind more consistent.

Let's go back to The Mind Diary of Teacher Waldorf and see what the author Wu Bei has experienced.

She volunteered to work in a special needs service organization to help paint the room. All three people are painting for the first time, so they communicate while doing it. Improve painting skills in actual combat.

To work in the garden, you must first pick strawberries and taste them at the same time. Secondly, remove the weeds around the fruit trees and separate the tangled grass from the big nettle. People have completely different attitudes towards twining grass and big nettles. Twisted grass will be burned, and big nettle mahjong will be used for composting. Probably people think that crooked grass is crooked and unclean. Grass used for composting should be recycled to make the earth cleaner. (note: nettle is pronounced the same as money. The big nettle can be used as medicine all over the body. No matter how much wind and sun it has experienced, it has always maintained its tenacious vitality. )

At that time, after the grass was distributed, the author said that he didn't understand why he had to do such time-consuming labor and didn't even want to throw a grass, let alone in Britain. In my opinion, this kind of grass preparation work is no less than eliminating inner distractions and taking every grass seriously. Every time we clean up, our hands will give the grass some energy. This kind of energy is very helpful for the recycling of grass.

Remove weeds and shrubs for fruit trees, dig up the soil and turn out the roots of weeds around. These tasks are particularly important.

Fruit trees need an environment where they can grow, and so do children. When children are young, keep them away from any news in this world and let them live in a simple and beautiful world, so that they will learn to appreciate goodness and beauty. Goodness and beauty are also two of the three principles that Waldorf education has always believed in.

Being a room cleaner taught her how to clean the bathroom and how to clean the room quickly and well.

When she saw the messy room clean, there was a joy in her heart. At the same time, she found that as a teacher, for a long time, she crammed her children according to her own standards and never paid attention to the characteristics of each child. Too much academic pressure will also have a bad influence on children. These bad influences are all rubbish made by teachers. As an author, I may have written too much nonsense, leaving readers with nothing. This kind of nonsense is the rubbish made by the author. However, cleaners are different. They don't make rubbish. They are garbage cleaners, and they will not change people's simple nature.

Work as a waiter in a restaurant. When she saw the guests enjoying the food she served, she didn't feel wronged at all, but she was a little excited and excited, because this was her first time working in Britain to earn money.

When she studied in groups at school, she chose dynamic agriculture and learned how to communicate with the land, how to sow, how to harvest and how to make compost. After working in a foreign country, she found that her indecisive personality changed and she began to become crisp and decisive. The world itself is a big whole. Our bodies also need sunshine, fresh air and exhaust gas from our bodies. Working in the field makes the air fresher, and correspondingly, everyone feels that their hearts are suddenly enlightened.

When Wu Bei was engaged in so much manual labor, he completely devoted himself to the work scene at that time, sweeping the floor, cleaning the toilet, brushing the toilet and doing farm work in the vegetable garden. She didn't think, didn't think-how did I get here today! She really lives in the present and is really closely connected with life. There is an old saying in China: When the enemy comes, he will block it, and the water has means to cover it. Wu Bei's wisdom of living in the present and letting nature take its course is evident everywhere in his books.

The real meaning of manual labor is to make people closely connected with life and land.

1. Keep in touch with life

Sweep the floor, mop the floor, cook, wash dishes, wash clothes, etc. Are all part of our lives. Only by participating in these tasks and putting ourselves into life can we receive the gifts of life-delicious meals, clean clothes and a clean home. With a comfortable and tidy home, our mood will be better.

I believe everyone has heard of this proverb:

How can you sweep the world without sweeping a house?

If you can't even tidy up your own house, how can you make others think that you can work for the world? The process of cleaning the house is a process of testing patience and care. If the room is messy, it is necessary to re-plan the purpose of each room and each storage cabinet, which should be thrown away and which should be kept-these are huge projects. At the same time, the disposal and arrangement of a large number of items is also a great challenge to our body and mind. Don't underestimate the process of cleaning the room. There are more and more people in the market, who have made achievements in housing consolidation and storage, and started consolidation courses according to their personal experiences. What's more, they moved from the arrangement and storage of houses to the arrangement and storage of documents, and summarized the methods of deletion, transfer and storage.

Step 2 keep in touch with the earth

Wu Bei has a sentence in this book that deeply touched me. She said: "Without contact with the earth, modern people can't find a home."

In my opinion, the connection between human beings and the earth is getting less and less. Tall buildings can be seen everywhere in big cities. In recent years, the rise of square dance and national fitness has made one park after another appear in the middle of reinforced concrete cities. There are few natural plants in the park, and most of them are artificially planned and transplanted. If you look closely, you will find that some trees are hung with hanging bottles, and you will know that you are conveying nutrition when you ask. The barren land can only rely on this kind of manual intervention.

How is the barren land caused? Probably the result of human industrialization, a large number of chemicals in fertilizers and pesticides make the soil lose its original vitality and vitality. In addition, with the rapid development of urbanization, agricultural benefits are relatively low, farmers no longer love their land, and their investment is reduced, not to mention bothering to make compost.

The book "Teacher Waldorf's Mind Diary" tells everyone how to make compost. This kind of organic fertilizer can provide necessary nutrients for soil and make plants grow better. The key is to reduce ecological pollution. Recently, China began to implement garbage sorting. Wet garbage is the main raw material of compost. Our government can consider being responsible to the community, set up an organic fertilizer working group, and use the wet garbage generated by community members to produce compost. This is very helpful for establishing organic agriculture.

As we all know, the earth will never let us down. As long as we work hard and sometimes sow, but at the same time, we don't forget to remove weeds and take good care of them, then we will always reap the fruits. This is why we respect Mother Earth. We need Mother Earth to cultivate plants so that we can get enough food to thrive. Sometimes humans are greedy. He kept enclosure, turned farmland into real estate, turned wild animals into food, and replaced plants, leaving animals on the verge of extinction and nowhere to live! Mother Earth supports the world with her only weak strength. We need to get along with the earth, plants, animals and even the whole world and take friendly actions, so that human beings can survive in this world.

Conclusion:

Mahatma Gandhi said: the man who pursues truth is humbler than dust.

Dust, it will never tell you:

Look, I gave the plants nutrients,

So that you humans can have enough food.

No, it won't say!

It doesn't say:

Greedy human beings, please industrialize with ecological considerations.

Be kind to us.

Otherwise, there will be no way to grow crops on this land within a few decades.

You humans will starve to death.

No, he won't say either!
