Chiang Mai Zai Yanyan

It turns out that I dug a hole for myself. Just start filling in the holes.

At this moment, the naughty child was playing with her father in the swimming pool, and the old mother was sitting on the edge, feeding the mosquitoes and chewing words.

The name Zaiyanyan comes from the Thai language, which means take your time. It is one of the Thai people’s mantra and character behavior. It is also an attitude towards life that I, a stay-at-home mother, aspire to achieve.

An accidental trip 3 years ago made us get to know Mai Village. We fell in love with it at first glance. Relatives and friends could only be shocked that this man insisted on his own way, resolutely left the workplace where he had worked for more than 20 years, and became an unemployed vagrant without any hesitation. He landed in that small Buddhist town alone with a little kid. The leader said, but think about it and you won't be able to come back after you leave. "Don't worry, no matter what the situation, you will never die of hunger."

Now, three years have passed, and the smelly child has entered her favorite school and will soon become a primary school student. A life grows strong and strong in its own trajectory, and it can be expected that the old mother will be left with a fading figure.

The old mother is sitting on the peaceful shore of Walden Pond, facing the oncoming crisis of middle-aged and elderly people. Thinking of what my former leader said, I felt vaguely hungry like a tiger, peeping ahead.

This is how life constantly presents two contradictory sides. On the one hand, there is an undercurrent of emptiness, struggle and uneasiness that surges from time to time. On the one hand, there are hidden revelations and comforts from the earth, sun, moon and stars in the dance with time.

Firm feet

Clouds in the sky

Eyes of love

Soft hearts
