世界上有很大部份的人口都集中在水泥叢林的都市裡, 有其是在亞洲。匆匆路過的行人, 追求快速的社會, 還有分秒必爭的現實...我們到底都是為了什麼讓自己這麼匆忙這麼著急的生活著?難道這些就是所謂充實的人生, 抑或只是追求著能令別人羨慕的人生而已?!當我在家時, 新聞報導的都是歐洲的經濟危機有多麼嚴重多麼無助。但現在我在這邊, 我看到的不是無奈著急失落的歐洲人, 而是“繼續努力過生活”的歐洲人。雖然在酒吧餐廳或新聞裡少不了還是會聽到抱怨, 但不是反映在所有人的生活中。他們努力維持的是真正的“生活”, 那種不是為了錢或利益而生存的生活, 而是為了---在週末能躺在公園裡閱讀, 在市集裡買花聽演奏, 或是請一天假修整自己的花園---那種有和花草大自然接觸的生活。家裡的花園, 陽台上的花盆, 桌上的一束花或甚至是樓下的小公園。這一點點的花草樹木所創造的小空間小天堂, 就是他們願意花時間去充電充實自我的小天地: 把自己放空後再好好接受下一場人生中的挑戰。


買束花/盆栽送給自己吧!開始感受這種綠色禪意新生活。


Most of us are living in the concrete jungle of the cities, especially in Asia. People passing by, everything speeding up, and every second matters... But what are we seeking for within those rushing and hurrying? Are they really all meant something in our life, or meant something to the 'life' that everyone craving for?!  When I was back home, news report that the economic hit hard in Europe. But here I am, can't feel much depression on the street of London or Paris. Maybe a bit of complain in the pub/ restaurant/ news, but they go on with their LIFES. The life that really matters, not just about money, but more spiritual. You see people laying/ reading in the park, go to flower/vintage market in the weekend, or taking a day off for gardening. They enjoying their life with a bit of GREEN that reminds them this little paradise can calm them down and be prepared to the hard part of the life.


Buy yourself a beautiful bouquet/ plant, start to explore the new lifestyle with the Green Zen.
