a lack of eyes that find beauty
been doing a few mock exams lately, to prepare for the HSK test and stumbled on this reading passage was in one of them:
“有人说， 很难在自己熟悉的地点发现 美丽的景色。 这说明对 自己越熟悉的东西，往往越没有新鲜感， 也就很难发现它的美丽之处。 所以生活中不是缺少美， 而是缺少发现美的眼睛.”
Some people say that it is difficult to find beautiful scenery in a place you are familiar with. This shows that the more familiar you are, the less fresh it is, the harder it is to discover its beauty. So life is not lacking beauty, but there is a lack of eyes that find beauty.
how distractingly poetic, for a language exam! :|

analogue wednesday #226
april was the homeliest of months, calm and quiet, and just what the WHO ordered. after coming south, we did nothing besides work, study, eat and putter around in the garden.
improbably, there are now pumpkins, tomatoes, physalis, sage, mint, lemongrass, chives and lettuce growing… as well as an ever-expanding collection of succulents, and passionfruit. :| the hands want to keep busy, i guess, and things grow, little by little. i’m ok with this.
