三月温暖的春日

 春天来了，万物复苏，有一种迎来了新生命的感觉。经历了一个不算寒冷的冬天，宾州终于迎来了它的春天。外面已经能看到早开的花朵们，虽然树上的绿叶还没长出来，但已经能感觉到它们将很快的到来。院子花园里，去年种的葱已经又长了出来，还有香菜，百里香在去年长过的地方，又开始生长起来。一切都那么让人期待。

今天外面阳光明媚，特别的暖和。下午和家人，朋友还有Coco，在外面好好享受了一番这好久不见的好天气。那种舒适的感觉，觉得自己能在此时此刻enjoy，真的很grateful。

今天还吃到了令人惊艳的苹果，品种叫做Cosmic Crisp。苹果又大又红，香脆甜，应该是我今年吃到的最好吃的苹果了。

这么舒适的春日，当然不能少了美食。下午用面包机烤了个全家都爱吃的牛奶甜面包，唯一的缺点就是太好吃了，吃多了怕肥。

晚餐我家先生做了意大利辣味香肠，配菜是美味的甜椒洋葱和蘑菇。有时候一顿美味就是这么简单。

今天听了Manly P. Halld在1987年3月的一次演讲，下面这段结束语和今天的我很有共鸣，引用如下：

At this season of the air, when transmutation is on everyone's mind; when we're looking forward to the earth opening again and spring coming forth with flowers, and birds and living things; when we begin to have faith in the continuance of the harvest and the ripeness of the earth and we realize that we are in a world, in a cosmos, in a conscious state in which nature has provided everything necessary for the advancement of all the realities of Life. The thing it hasn't provided for is excess and the moment excess comes in the realities are forgotten. So with this point in view of mine and always thinking a little bit about the future, about how are we going to wake up tomorrow. Whether we can get rid of some of the problems that have annoyed us for so long. Let us remember that to begin with, we must search in ourselves and wherever we find a false value, wherever we make a decision that cannot be reasonably and constructively demonstrated, wherever we have to gain our end by breaking the Golden Rule, wherever we have to satisfy our natures by condemning someone else. Where these things happen we are still in great need of self directives, self censure, self-reorganization so that in the end as the days come, we will meet them joyously and with Love. For Love l love suffereth long and is kind, and love is the only relationship between human beings that can ever bring peace to the world. That which brings peace to our heart is love, to our family, to our nation, to our world. These are all the pieces the qualities, the gentleness, the kindness that makes for Eternal cooperation and brings about ultimately the unity of all that lives, and in our loving we must not forget the birds and the flowers and everything that nature has provided. By the time we get through admiring the wonders of things, as they are we will be inclined to get over the disillusionments which we suffer, is the result of things as they appear to be. Actually we live in a good world and if we're good enough we can enjoy it, and if we're still better we can keep the world the way we know, it ought to be.
