"In this world, time passes and order is added. Order is the law of nature, the general trend and the end result of the universe. If time is an arrow, it shoots at order. The future is to regulate, organize, strengthen and unite, while the past is noisy and bustling. "
——<Einstein's dream>
It hasn't been updated for a long time. Basically, I write fragmented essays in my circle of friends instead of the text. Driven by my instinct, I rely more on this kind of instant expression. However, it's important for me to write where and when. Also let me understand what I am in the best state, the most creative, I need to ask myself, in order to release my imagination, what do I need?
My classmate Ze Hui and I asked in the first sentence of wechat, are you a writer? Obviously, I'm not a professional. Creative writing is also my favorite major. But sometimes I write fragments of essays in my circle of friends, and I know that I have a writing biological clock. I know that the prime time of my day is usually between 2:00 p.m. and before dark. It's also the most vigorous and awakening time of my mind. I don't have any FA got up in the morning and began to sit in front of the computer, because sleep would consume me a lot of physical strength. One day, I took a picture of a room, with a copy like "a room only belongs to me". Zehui's boyfriend commented: Woolf's dormitory, he really understands my mind. Of course, I don't need a writing room like Woolf. Now the room can also let me immerse in the illusion of not being disturbed. My room is also open field in a sense. Writing down these is not to make myself more glorious in front of this desk, but to touch the reality, a real life that can not be covered or suppressed.
On the last day of 2020, I want to read and write about my kingdom. At the moment, I lit a candle, accompanied by the aroma, let the thoughts drift further.
Because reading and writing, grand history and subtle daily life are unfolding before us. We finally know how the tiny spray of life converges into the torrent of the past. Our past has a clear context of human destiny, and the subtle things between the pages still stand the test of time. I also gradually found that many problems can be solved by reading. It's not that there are answers in the book, but that after reading so many stories and talking with great souls, you don't care so much about many things. Great and great lives are recorded in tiny words. We read and trudge in it, which is exactly what we pursue in the book. It is a more "real" dream than reality.
Countless such moments, I have sighed, whenever the night comes, seeing our little time gradually disappear, it really makes us crazy, fortunately, our inner is also vaguely aware that the inexhaustible source belongs to us, life time can get unlimited updates through this source, these are rare times, these moments are mine It's called the moment of power pursuit in life. They really permeate the moment of time.
It's the magic of reading.
Finally, the release of imagination comes from literature. Today, I learned that "Einstein's dream" is a novel written by Alan Letterman, Professor of physics and Humanities at MIT. I searched all over the Internet and found this e-book. I copied it in word and enlarged it. It's only 65 pages in total. Time is the theme of this book. Based on the life in Bern, Switzerland in 1905, the novel makes up the author's 33 dreams for Einstein, and also represents 33 possibilities of time: either sympathizing with the desolation of the world, or boasting about the vagaries of love, word by word like the moon and pines, reflecting the concern for life on the spring stone In the author's works, the infinite possibility of time is displayed incisively and vividly. In Einstein's "Dreams", time is like a beautiful poem, which gives rise to infinite possibilities of comprehension, reverie, emotion, sadness, clarity, strangeness, sadness and nobility. The author's style is not only simple but also romantic.
It's a very pure novel and has nothing to do with science. It is a poem about time. These 30 independent dreams appear in the description of Einstein's life, but they seem to think about all kinds of ultimate problems of life and the universe, leaving countless questions about life. It makes us rethink:
“If the ways of time flow were different, would we still live as we do now?If life is only a short 24 hours, watching a sunrise will wither, why are we busy now?If all dreams predict success or failure, will we still dream?If the lover you meet for the first time at the moment will no longer exist in the next moment, will love just be in vain?If the world comes to an end in a minute, where should we be with whom?
In this world, the world repeats itself. What has happened now has happened a million times in the past, and will be repeated a million times in the future. Read "in the stream of time, the past never existed.". This has something in common with "the past, present, and future are all now." which was put forward by torkwase Dyson, an American artist I studied yesterday.
In a sense, books, images, art, and medieval furniture are companionship, which means occupying a period of time, then folding, compressing, and extending indefinitely.
So for a work, it needs to develop its own unique sense of time. Many friends know that I am infatuated with medieval furniture and designers' works of the last century. I visited many galleries in England to explore the forms and temperament of these works in different galleries, as well as the continuity of life. Sometimes I am so greedy that I don't want to come out in my works. This is the sense of time that medieval furniture brings me.
In Taiwan writer Shu Guozhi's books, I read Bingxin, Nietzsche, Lin Yutang, Rousseau, Zhu Ziqing and Yu Dafu. I can see that they can attract the whole nation to their side and guide people's lives by virtue of their mutual attraction. Literature is the extension of time, which is the sense of time that literature brings me.
I also think of the film "the wild pear tree". The director is Nuri bigg Ceylon, a Turk. Ceylon is infinitely close to Chekhov in spirit. He uses his own camera language to revive the characters in Chekhov's works. In "the wild pear tree", it's good to just listen to the dialogues of the characters in the film. How can the educated youth get out of the spiritual dilemma and face all kinds of nihilism in the oppressive closed environment? Do they say goodbye or seek a way out? Pour out, dispute, escape, and finally reconcile with the hopeless past in the boundless snow. In retrospect, the last time I saw the wild pear tree, I saw it in winter. In the same way, I sighed after reading "winter and spring in the little forest" yesterday. It seems that every time the seasons change, there are new expectations, things limited by the seasons, and the process of production and enjoyment. It makes people feel like they really participate in the time, so it's very touching. If you miss it, you'll wait another year. This is the sense of time that the movie brings me.
In November, I went to bath and stayed in the Royal Crescent Hotel. In the morning, I had breakfast in the restaurant. It was cloudy. Suddenly, the sun came out, and a beam of light fell on me. I smelled the sandalwood smell of lelabo33 sprayed by the lady next to me, which added some fragrance to my breakfast. In peace and stability, every moment of experiencing life with heart can be a decisive moment, The same is true in the morning at the arm university hotel in Cambridge. Ivy and I sat at the window and had breakfast. A beam of light came, which was particularly dazzling. This was the sense of time brought by the early morning in England.
Many of us have seen Louis bourgeois's spider art works. As a feminist, she talks about the contradiction of being a woman in the documentary spiders, mistresses and oranges: "as a woman, it's not easy to be likable. This desire to be likable is really painful. How can you be yourself while being likable? There is a contradiction. " She started her art creation at the age of 25, and only at the age of 60 did she succeed in the art world. Until the age of 90, she still maintained strong creativity. Something powerful is wrapped in her works. She counterattacks the unbearable memory through art. Bulgoya's art and artistic career reveal to us: pain and anger can be transformed into something powerful and healing, contradictions can trigger self exploration, and finally reach the other side of reconciliation, and time is just a man-made scale, aging does not mean exhaustion. This is the sense of time that art brings me.
At her recent concert, Jolin Tsai said that age really makes me feel damn At that moment, I thought she was really beautiful. For myself, I never had the sense of age. Two weeks ago, I was with my classmates St.Ives (St. Ives) spent his 33rd birthday, and more and more frankly accepted the fact that it could not be changed. He accepted the beauty brought by years and danced with time. Years are really beautiful. This is the sense of time brought by age.
The texture of time is different for everyone. We must have taught some friends through time. Having some experience, we should know that many close friends in our life are not "friends", but "Acquaintances". One of the secrets of having more time is to only eat with people you think are "friends", which can be very difficult in China, because a meal will probably waste three hours. It's invisible to waste time on others. It's visible to waste time on yourself. It's also a good way to take time out of meaninglessness.
“People are always hesitant,but time is indomitable.”

"Ideal afternoon, I want to waste time with you" by Shu Guozhi
My experience is just experience, not experience. I'm just glad to have a reading environment. So I cherish it. Because such a free and happy day, I don't know if it will be in the future. We never look back, and we often look back. Those who support us, those who pursue us, become memories. Let's cherish these moments, let's have a sense of time. The beauty of being alone for more than a year is to regain the grasp of time. In any case, we still find our own rhythm to go on. After all, time is the right eye.
Finally, let's control more time together.
With a leisurely attitude towards the passage of time, are you afraid of the passage of time?
May the glow of New Year candle fill your heart with peace and pleasure and make your new year bright.Have a love filled new year.I send my best wishes and long-lasting greetings.
