Protect Your Peace

When I was young, I changed jobs a lot.
I worked as a plumber, and a crane operator.
At the beginning of 2026, I became unemployed.
It has been a watershed year for me.
Of course, I still needed food to survive, but I did not want to buy it from a supermarket.
I wanted to grow my own food. I planted corns in the soil near my house.
Growing food is brutally hard work under the hot sun.
My food cost almost nothing.
Because I lived deep in the woods, people from the town often asked me, "do you feel terribly lonely?"
I spent many days and nights completely alone.
Being alone was my absolute best friend.
When I was alone in the woods at midnight, I never felt empty.
I felt the entire beautiful universe was sitting right there with me.
The moon and the stars were my company.
Some mornings I did not do anything except pray to God.
I just sat in a bench from the early dawn until noon.
I did nothing that society would call "productive".
I felt the warm sun on my face. I think time is life instead of money.
When you sell your time, you sell your life.
You sell your life, and you can never buy it back.
No matter how rich you become, you can never buy those lost hours back.
I was not wasting time, I was resting my soul.
I was producing peace in my own heart, and peace in your heart is much more valuable than any gold coin.
I realized a beautiful truth. Time is not a monster chasing you.
Time is just a quiet stream, and I was sitting by the water, fishing.
I was not fishing for fish. I was fishing for the truth of my own life.
We are always trapped in the future, worrying about next month's bills.
We are always trapped in the past, feeling sad about old mistakes.
Because our minds always travel to tomorrow or yesterday, we completely forget to live today.
The present moment, you are breathing right now is the only thing we actually possess.
But living in the present moment did not mean I did nothing all day.
I go into mountains and spend time outdoor.
I am a big hiker, and go into mountains on weekends.
When you simplify your days, you will finally have time to breathe.


年轻时,我换了好多份工作。
我当过水管工,也当过起重机操作员。
2026年初,我失业了。今年对我来说是一个分水岭。
当然,我依然需要食物来维持生计。但我并不想从超市买。
我想自己种点吃的。我在家附近的土里种了玉米。
在烈日下种地是极其艰苦的劳作。我的食物几乎不花什么钱。
因为我住在深山之中,镇上的人经常问我:“你是不是觉得特别孤独?”
我度过许多日夜夜夜,完全独处。孤独是我最好的朋友。
当我独自一人在森林中午夜时分,从未感到空虚。
我感觉整个美丽的宇宙都与我同在。月亮和星星陪伴我。
有些早晨,我除了向神祈祷之外什么也没做。
我只是从黎明时分一直坐到中午,坐在长椅上。
我并未做任何社会上称之为“有成效”的事。
我感受到温暖的阳光洒在脸上。我认为时间就是生命,而非金钱。
当你出售自己的时间,你就是在出售自己的生命。
你卖掉了生命,却永远无法再买回来。
无论你变得多么富有,都无法赎回那些流逝的时光。
我并没有浪费时间,我在安息灵魂。
我在自己心里制造平安,而你心中的平安,远比任何金币都珍贵得多。
我领悟了一个美好的真理:时间不是追逐你的怪物。
时间不过是一条静静流淌的小溪,而我正坐在水边垂钓。
我并非在钓鱼,而是在寻找自己人生中的真相。
我们总是被困在未来的泥沼中,为下个月的账单担忧;
我们又总沉溺过去的阴影里,为昔日的错误感到悲伤。
因为我们的思绪总在奔向明天或昨天,完全忘了活在当下。
但活在当下,也并不意味着我一整天无所作为。
我会走进山中,去户外度过一段时光。
我是个热爱徒步的人,周末会去登山。
当你简化自己的生活时,你最终有时间呼吸。
