Coffeehouse
In the bustling city, we often stumble upon elegant coffeehouses with their warm lights and soothing music. We step in and the cacophony of the streets are left to the world beyond the thick glass doors. We can sink ourselves into comfortable chairs, enjoy the music, and sip our drinks. All is well with the world. Yet eventually, work demands our attention. Emerging from the open doors once again, we invite the clamorous world back in.
This is the image of modern day serenity.
Not a reclusive life in the idyllic mountains and forests, far from the madding crowd. But a search for serenity, time and again, between the narrow spaces of a tumultuous world.
咖啡室
著:刘墉
现代人的宁静就是在喧器与扰攘之间,寻找宁静。
在繁华的市区我们常可以见到幽雅的咖啡室,有着和谐的灯光与柔美的音乐,当我们跨入其中,街道上的喧闹就被摒出了厚厚的玻璃门外。这时我们可以坐在舒适的座椅上,一边啜着饮料,一面欣赏音乐,十分地惬意。但是当我们工作的时间到了,推开门,迎来的又是一片嘈杂的世界。
现代人的宁静就是如此,不是遁隐山林,离开人群,而是在喧器与扰攘之间,寻找宁静。
