Far Eastern Talks: My Healing Time
Far Eastern Magazine / Editorial Room
Some moments may not disturb the world, but they can quietly repair the cracks in one's mood. In this issue, Far Easterner from home and abroad is specially invited to share these gentle daily landscapes. Let's practice together and see beauty from the brief pauses.

As a working woman, she wakes up her children in the morning, is busy with work during the day, and lives with her in laws after work. She cooks, takes a shower, and watches her homework. For a period of time, I used to get angry for practicing piano for my child, until one day, looking at their tears, I suddenly realized that the fatigue and pressure accumulated in my heart were quietly hurting the people closest to me. So I gathered the courage to discuss with my husband, 'Give me half an hour every day, it's just for me.' Either lying in bed scrolling on my phone, or doing nothing, slowly settling my emotions. I am beginning to understand that if forced to do something I don't like, even if the other person has good intentions, they will still feel pressure. So, my tone softened and the parent-child relationship was no longer tense. Previously, healing did not require a long journey, as long as one was willing to press the pause button for oneself.

Every time I finish work and household chores, the moment my fingertips touch the pages of a book is like pressing a pause button for a tired life. In books, you can meet people of all kinds and see your own shadow. The unspoken grievances and unresolved confusions in reality can be quietly sorted and properly placed between the lines, thus regaining the rhythm of the heart and gaining the strength to resist difficulties.
Reading 'Saga's Super Grandma', I was deeply moved by her optimism. When there is a lack of material resources, she treats the vegetables in the river as supermarket ingredients, considers walking as a healthy investment, and even says that even if there are only one or two points on her report card, they add up to five points because life is all about strength... These simple and open-minded words, like the stars in the dark night, always illuminate my confused heart. As my grandmother taught me, no matter how busy or difficult the days are, as long as there is light in my heart, I can live an ordinary life with my own warmth.
