望漠思山

蓦然回首 风沙落
盼曾绿山 回头默
梦中深夜 儿时梦
黎明光破 雁飞过

忘,初

忘,初

一意追寻智者路,随其足迹途
只见足迹不见目,忘却智顗初

觉得自己很傻。要好好努力才行。加油! 小熊!

呐喊

呐喊

第一声 请不要不理我 我只是健忘
第二声 请不要讨厌我 我只是糊涂
第三声 请不要不要我 我只是迷茫
第四声 请不要放弃我 我只是害怕
第五声 请不要忘记我 我只是忘了

Alone.

Friend: "You spend a lot of time alone. You even eat alone during lunch time. Don't you get bored?"
Simple Bear: "It is not boring. In fact it can be quite entertaining."
Friend: "Entertaining? I don't see how entertaining can it get, being alone. Unless you play with your phone, watch dramas etc"
Simple Bear: "Even without your phone, it can be quite entertaining. The entertainment comes in stages. First, you get entertained by the world around you. Then slowly, you get entertained by the world within you. Then after that, you get entertained by the silence."
Friend: "Entertained by silence?"
Simple Bear: "Yes. Silence is enjoyable too"
Friend: -_-!


May all be well and happy

My Name is Not Winnie

My Name is Not Winnie

Got on the bus to meet a friend for breakfast. I was sitting behind two young girls, siblings. As I sat down, the younger girl (probably in kindergarten) turn to look at me with a stuffed Eeyore in her hands, as if she wanted me to participate in her imagination game as an audience. Her sister, slightly older was visibly embarrassed, initially at her sister's actions.

She asked her sister to stop looking at me. And then, she turned around and looked at me, I was smiling at them. I was finding this entire situation rather amusing. She realized that I was not in any way displeased with the behavior, smiled back and picked up the Eeyore. Both of them took turns displaying the Eeyore in front of me throughout the entire journey.

They kept putting the Eeyore in front of me throughout the entire journey.

Maybe they think I am Winnie the Pooh.

Be the Sun

Be the Sun.

A friend had recently confided in me an issue he had.
Friend: "I need you advice. I have a close friend who had cultivated some bad habits. I tried to save him from destroying himself but its difficult. Any way I can save him?"
Simple Bear: "Don't save him."
Friend: "And leave him to walk towards his own demise? I can't do it."
Simple Bear: "I mean don't have the mentality of being a savior. We are the only ones who can save ourselves; no one else can. He is the only one who can save himself. We can only facilitate the process of him saving himself through support."
Friend: "But I can't just ignore him."
Simple Bear: "Do your best. Be there for him. If he doesn't develop any self awareness or insight into his own problems, there is a limit to what others can do for him. It is like a person lost in an underground maze but doesn't realize that he is lost. Be like the sun in the sky at the end of the maze to guide him into the sunlight. Till then, if he doesn't realize that he is lost, telling him that he is lost may not work."
Friend: "Just be the sun."
Simple Bear: "Yes. You need to be self-illuminating."
Friend: -_-!


To light up the worlds of others, we must first light up our own worlds by ourselves, to be our own Suns.

May all be well and happy.

With Loving-Kindness
