Thai Branch Enters Rainy Season Early, Lawns Turn Green Overnight

Recently, the two "immortal brothers" have been tirelessly working on various projects. They just finished constructing a new garage, and now they’re focused on repairing steps, cleaning, and plastering three large cement tanks. With the rainy season upon us, they’re rushing to replace the roofs of two rooms with new steel sheets. Brother Guang is truly multi-talented and has taken on a new invitation, continuously improving and perfecting every little detail of the first branch.

A few days ago, Qianzhi returned home for a visit and hosted a group of guests, including the lovely Scottish Anna and her friends. Among them were two polite German gentlemen and a beautiful, quiet girl from England. All of them are English teachers and expressed great interest in our philosophy and way of life, bringing fresh energy and new perspectives to our community.

Interestingly, unlike previous years, it seems that the heavens have been particularly kind to us this time. The scorching season has been shortened by a month, and we've unexpectedly welcomed the rainy season. In the last few days, we've experienced continuous rain at night, while the days remain clear and pleasantly warm, with a gentle breeze making the work even more enjoyable. The small life forms in our courtyard have revived under the cleansing rain, and everything is bursting with green. I noticed the lawn—those little blades of grass are all poking their heads out, thriving with just a bit of rain and some sunlight. Their resilience and satisfaction with life teach us a valuable lesson: to live tenaciously, like the grass, resilient and unwavering.

Hope remains constant, and change is ever-present. On the journey of life, whether it's sunny or rainy, bleak or vibrant, it's all just scenery to be admired and experienced without attachment or lingering traces. Let’s beautify our consciousness, perfect our encounters, maintain a peaceful mindset, and continue our journey.
