木漏れ日 Komorebi
I really love the Japanese poetic term "木漏れ日 Komorebi," which describes the calming, comfortable sunlight that spills through gaps in trees, buildings, or objects. Observing the interplay between light and shadow brings me a sense of tranquillity. In German vocabulary, the word "Muße" conveys a feeling of reflection, with freedom, peace, relaxation, and contentment, which is similar in sentiment. For me, both appreciating Komorebi and practising 墨流し Suminagashi art are precious moments of Muße or Zen.
Whenever a hint of unease arises, I recall the feeling of witnessing Komorebi, which instantly calms me. This practice helps me focus on the essence of things during pure, peaceful moments, guiding me to find insight and cope with life's challenges. Transforming my perspective allows me to turn worries into strength, fostering calmness, resilience, and courage. I am on the journey to keep learning and practising.
我非常喜歡日本一個富有詩意的詞語「木漏れ日」，它描繪了從樹木或建築物或物件縫隙中灑落令人平靜舒適的陽光。觀察光影之間的變化讓我感到寧靜。而在德語中，「Muße」這個詞表達了一種在自由自在、平靜、放鬆和滿足下自我反思的感覺，與之感覺相近。對我而言，欣賞木漏れ日和練習墨流し藝術都是Muße或禪意的珍貴時刻。
每當心中泛起一絲不安，我會憶起「觀賞木漏れ日時的感覺」，它能幫助我瞬間找回平靜。這種潛意識的訓練不斷提醒著我，在那些純粹、寧靜、專注且輕鬆的時刻中，洞察事物的本質，直至領悟並找到應對生活中各種人事物的方法。在轉換視角，以新的方式看待事物的那一刻，便是將擔憂轉化為力量的時刻。這種思維轉變的練習，支持並提醒著我，要以平靜、堅韌和勇氣去面對生活中的困難與挑戰。仍在路上努力學習、練習中。
I once read a passage in a book that left a lasting impression on me:
"In a pitch-black cave, the first spark was created by humans rubbing stones together, marking the moment of enlightenment."
Light and shadow coexist; without light, there is no shadow, and without darkness, we cannot perceive brightness. Similarly, joy and sorrow intertwine in our life journey. It is this relative relationship that gives birth to moments of "hope." This reminds me that life's difficulties, pain, and heartbreak are all lessons to help us grow. Sometimes, some negative experiences allow us to appreciate the value of the positive more deeply. With gratitude and faith in our hearts, believing that everything has the best arrangement, we can work hard step by step to gradually overcome challenges. Trust that each difficulty is perfectly suited to our abilities, not more nor less. With determination and sincerity, we can slowly break through obstacles.

曾在一本書中讀到一段話，令我十分深刻:
「在漆黑的洞穴中，人類第一次用石頭磨擦出火花，那刻的火花，便是悟的一刻。」
光與影共存，沒有光就沒有影，沒有黑暗也無法察覺光明。同樣地，喜悅與悲傷也交織在我們的人生旅程中。正是這種相對的關聯孕育出「希望」的時刻。這提醒了我：人生中的困難、痛苦和心碎經歷，都是助我們成長的功課。一些負面經歷，讓我們更深切體會正面的可貴。只需心存感恩與信念，相信一切皆有最好的安排，一步一步努力前行，逐步克服挑戰。相信每一次的困難都恰到好處地適合我們的能力，不多也不少，憑藉決心和誠懇，我們都能慢慢衝破障礙。
