知足常樂

三月四日(雨)

明知是雨季,所以這裏的天氣一直沒有令我有什麼不快;今早8時的飛機,出門時正下雨,有點大,但也不至於狂風暴雨…還在想,都幾好運,走才下雨…

想不到這是個凶兆…cusco機場聲稱因大雨關閉,早上基本上沒有飛機在,要等機場重開才會有機到。在我之前的兩班機都取消,我也難逃這一刧,這時已肯定我趕不上下一班從利馬往厄瓜多爾的機(一天只有一班),接下來,我會連這行程最重要的加拉巴戈8日遊也趕不上!

************

在cusco的機場踫到一個美籍墨西哥女孩Iya,說是女孩有點不對,看上去可能比我大幾歲,但她說她53。Iya自小希望遊世界,也一直在一步步達成她的理想,她說是壓力和怒氣讓人老,所以她看起來年輕!是Iya陪我渡過了幾個小時,跟我分享了許多她遊歷時的感想,也是她開解我,讓我想通了這件事。"Remember, this is a vacation"; "in the whole big scheme of things, this is really nothing"; "think of the people who will never be able to pay 500 us dollars for a ticket!"。

是的,在後來再自掏腰包買的一程新機票的航班上,我想了很久,我有健康的身體,在百忙的工作中可以奢侈地放三個月假,可以有能力花這樣的錢去旅遊,我到底還想怎樣?當然人是貪心的,但只要冷靜想一想,知足感恩者常樂!

在夜晚的飛機上發現旁邊的月亮很圓,原來今日是元宵,祝各位人月兩圓,最緊要開心!!

  1.  Today i heard the HK radio a interview with Lam Jet , the  famous song writer , he got sick of disorder before , however now he's recovered , one word he said : what we need is very less , but we expect too much , that's why we become unhappy . Same as what you said :知足感恩者常樂. By the way i will travel to India and Nepal next week and stay 3.5 weeks  , this time only by my own , my wife is going to school and the Inca Trail , Peru  last year scared her already . ohhh Cusco is a wonderful city , enjoy yourself.. be careful don't get cold , in night time still cold .

  2. Actually, it sounds interesting to me - make friends with different people in different parts of the world at "abnormal" situation. What an experience! Quincy
