Precipitated over the years

When I was a child, my mother made sweet potato starch every year.

When I was a child, my mother made sweet potato starch every year. That time, my mother put some milk-like liquid into a glass jar, saying that she would wait for the starch to settle. My mother said that those have been filtered, and after a while, starch will come out. I sat by and watched how the starch settled little by little.

  That kind of process is really amazing! Gradually, the liquid in the tank gradually became less thick, while the starch at the bottom of the glass tank became thicker and thicker. I always feel that it is the power of time that precipitates the starch. Because my mother said, don't worry, pour out the water on it later, and the starch can be filtered out. I feel that in the passage of time, the fine particles of starch, one by one, sink down until the essence is all precipitated. In the process of precipitation, the starch granules must have encountered the resistance of water, but with their own weight advantage, they strive to sink until the essence is gathered to the bottom.

  Precipitation is a kind of filtration and discarding, as well as a kind of condensation and accumulation. Remove the dross and precipitate the essence, time is doing this all the time, it changes the world and it changes us.

  That time, I was at the foot of the mountain, looking up at a majestic mountain, and suddenly felt sacred. The mountain is up and down, probably this is the feeling. How can there be such a high mountain? The magical world created by nature brings us infinite amazement. Looking at this mountain again, there are traces of time hidden in the layers of folds. In the long time of hundreds of millions of years, it has precipitated a stable and firm temperament, precipitated a proud and unyielding style, which cannot be shaken by any wind and rain. If there is no precipitation in the years, how can it be so calm and safe? How can it be so magnificent and powerful? Time gives it essence and precipitates the taste of time.

  Everything in the world is precipitated in time. Time changes the world, and time changes you and me.

  There are some white-haired elderly people around me, their footsteps are calm, and the smiles on their faces are gentle and generous. Talking about the past, when it comes to some suffering experiences, they always smile lightly, then gently shake their heads and say, it's all over! That expression, that tone, seems to be saying that everything is a cloud!

  The ups and downs of life, the fragrance of the years. I think everyone will precipitate the fragrance of life in the years. When we were young, we had not experienced the precipitation of time, nor the experience of sorrow, joy, sorrow and joy, and the whole person seemed to be light. Young people have no roots under their feet, and their minds are impulsive. If they are not careful, they will slap the table and create embarrassing movements that are not conducive to others or themselves. Although they regret the beginning afterwards, what they have done and said cannot be taken back. Without the precipitation of the years, people are prone to slump when they are disappointed, and it is easy to get carried away when they are proud, and there is no calm state of mind. I haven't experienced the precipitation of the years, and I can't listen to criticism. As soon as I hear unpleasant words, I can't wait to rush up and fight with people immediately; I always like the false compliments of others, and when I hear them, I will forget who I am when I'm drunk, so people are impulsive and lack stability.

  Life has given us enough time to settle. In those times of growth and old age, we slowly restrain the publicity and show off all over our body, restrain the arrogance and stupidity all over our body, and turn into a green gem with a warm and peaceful luster. One day, you will also become indifferent, uneasy, and precipitate a heart that is not flattered. One day, no matter what you hear others say, you will smile slightly, accept it happily, and precipitate a philosophical character. In the passage of time, we slowly remove the dross in our character and precipitate warm and beautiful cultivation and quality. The process of precipitation quietly changes us and makes us better and better. How can we precipitate the most beautiful life without experiencing years?

  Life precipitates fragrance, indifference, calmness, and wisdom in the years. These are the last essence that the years have given us.
