這幾天早上從被窩伸出頭來，溫度計顯示著在攝氏10度左右，這才是久違了的真正冬天。
昨天太冷了，下午我一個人去離家不遠的原生林裡行山。這是一種非常有效的保暖方式，讓自己保持活力，而且越走越暖，越發想往前走下去。
我走了六七公里， 這片森林是自然保護區，四周都是巨大的古樹。 我總是喜歡一個人在山林間徒步。 我可以聽得見淙淙的溪水，到處都有啁啾鳥鳴，還可以環手擁抱巨大的老樹，親炙其嶙峋壯厚的軀幹。 只有在寂靜中，我才能聽到大自然的故事。走到開闊地，陽光照在我身上，全身暖和，讓人有愉悅之感。 每一片葉子都在漸往下落的日影中閃爍，遍山生輝，洋溢著光明與暖意。微風在樹梢間輕嘯，踏在鋪滿落葉的山徑上，是生命榮枯之間的相遇；在森林的四季變化中，我也只是其中的一部分。 我也在經歷著人生的四季。 說到底，我也是山路上的一片落葉，終有一天輪到自己化作春泥，以另一個形態滋養其他生物，迎接下一個春天的到來。
每次從森林回來，我的所有感官都被期間的聲音和景象所充滿: 風嘯，鳥鳴，流水，葉舞，苔痕，隱藏在林間的各種生命氣息，充份地體驗活在當下，這的確是一場療效非凡的森林浴。
When I poke my head out of the quilt these mornings, the thermometer reads around 10 degrees Celsius, which is the real winter we have been missing for a long time.
Yesterday it was so cold that I went hiking alone in the afternoon in a native forest not far from home. It was a very effective way to keep myself warm, and the more I walked, the warmer I got, and the more I wanted to keep going.
I walked six or seven kilometres through this forest, a nature reserve, surrounded by giant old trees. I always like to hike alone in the mountains and forests. I could hear the murmuring streams, the chirping birds everywhere, and I could hug the vast old trees around me and touch their twisted, thick trunks. Only in the silence can I hear the stories of nature. As I walk out into the open, the sun shines on me, warming my body and giving me a sense of pleasure. Every leaf shone in the falling sunlight, and the hills glowed with light and warmth. The breeze whistles through the treetops, and when I step on the path covered with fallen leaves, it is an encounter between the glory of life and death.
Amid the changing seasons of the forest, I am only a part of it. I am also experiencing the seasons of life. In the end, I am also a fallen leaf on the mountain path, and one day it will be my turn to turn into spring mud, to take another form to nourish other creatures and welcome the next spring.
Every time I come back from the forest, all my senses are filled with the sounds and sights: the wind whistling, the birds chirping, the water flowing, the leaves dancing, the moss traces, the various scents of life hidden in the forest, and the full experience of living in the present.
