Spend every day calmly like nature, and make the lake and our hearts clear again in the cool early autumn. In the autumn afternoon, I continued to read Walden Lake and went to see the Ant Wars with Thoreau.

Famous sayings:

1. Seen from the top of a mountain, Walden Lake reflects the color of blue sky, but from the close distance where you can see the sand on the shore, it shows light yellow, then light green, and gradually deepens, and finally becomes the consistent dark green of the whole lake.

(The color like a crystal ball is beautiful, mysterious and yearning. )

2. Many people are compared to Walden Lake, but only a few people deserve this reputation. Although loggers have cut down large tracts of trees around the lake, Irish people have built their shacks by the lake, railways have occupied the edge of the lake, and ice merchants have come here to chisel ice, Walden Lake itself has not changed, and it is still the lake I witnessed when I was young. It's myself that has changed.

(The lake hasn't changed. It's my quiet life by the lake that makes me feel different. )

3. There have been countless ripples in Walden Lake, but there are no permanent ripples. Walden Lake is always young. I can stand by the lake and watch a swallow dive down and take a bug away from the lake, just like in the past.

(calm lake, flying swallows, wonderful pictures. )

4. if we don't get rid of the bad habit of eating and drinking, we are not civilized people. (Higher Law)

(Can't you be a civilized person if you enjoy good food? )

5. Everyone's body is a temple, which he builds and worships in his own way. This is his inescapable fate. We are all sculptors and painters, and the raw materials used are our flesh and bones. Noble virtue will make people's faces beautiful, while vulgar virtue will make people's faces ugly.

(that's what it means. )

6. When I walked out the door that day, I saw two big ants, one was red, and the other was much bigger, almost half an inch long and black, fighting fiercely. Once entangled with each other, they never let go, but kept wrestling and rolling on the board.

I picked up the board with three ants fighting on it, carried it into the house, put it on the windowsill, and covered the three ants with a glass, ready to see how the war was going. I took a magnifying glass and pointed it at the earliest red ant ...

(The more I watched it, the more excited I was, as if these ants were people. The deeper I thought, the smaller the difference between them. )

7. The mouse that appears in my house is not a common house mouse, but a local wild mouse that can't be seen in town. When I was building a house, a wild mouse put its nest under my house. At that time, I had not laid the floor and swept away the shavings. It often ran out at lunch time and ate bread crumbs at my feet. It may have never seen anyone before, but it will soon get very familiar with me and climb from my shoes to my clothes. It can climb the wall of the wooden house with a few jumps, especially like a squirrel, even like a movement.

Then one day, I leaned against the long table, and my elbow pressed against the table. It climbed onto my clothes and climbed along the sleeve to the table, circling around the paper I used to wrap food. I wrapped the food and held it in my hand to tease it. Finally, I picked up a small piece of cheese with my thumb and forefinger and held it steady. It went to my palm and sat down, chewing it up like no one was watching, and wiped my face and face like a fly after eating.

(there is another kind of harmony where people and mice are in harmony. )

Everyone has a lake in his heart, just like Walden Lake in Thoreau. It is cool and clear, and it is the hometown where clean souls can be placed, and it is the first shore to nourish the spirit of transcendence. ......
