It is the uncertain wind that scatters the seeds that have not been picked to the ends of the earth. When they could no longer find the soil, they pinned their last hope on this crack. Although they can also share the warmth of the sun and get water from the rain, only the soil on which all life depends must be found by themselves. How severe the reality they face.
As a result, there has been an amazing miracle in nature, and tenacious life has sprouted among barren rocks.
Or just a bunch of nameless weeds, Chun Lv is autumn and yellow, and the years are passing away. They have no conditions to grow wide leaves, because they can't find enough nutrients to make the grass grow thick. They only have three or two slender leaves, and the subtle veins tell you how difficult it is to survive. What's more, they grow their own roots under clusters of thin leaves, just to suck their mothers' milk less, and then look for gaps that are not easy to be detected. This is life. If this is an instinct, then it just shows how noble the instinct of life is, and life has the right to think that it is magnificent and its vitality is so unstoppable.
Or a group of hill flowers, mostly bitter dandelions. Their stems and leaves are full of bitter milky juice, and their roots are dug up like wild vegetables in spring. But the dandelion in the crack is far less strong than its peers in the field. They can't grow into tall trunks because of the strong wind, and they can't grow many leaves because of the barren rocks. Their stems look tough and old, and their leaves lose their luster because of withering. Only their roots, like that flexible and powerful rib, like that soft vine with rigidity, are buried deep in the narrow gap between cracks; They can no longer be used as fresh and tender wild vegetables, silently preparing reliable handholds for people to climb mountains. Life is defined and changed by the environment in this way. Although the law of survival of the fittest is ruthless, all the fittest are the strong ones who overcome the environment. The phenomenon of life tells you that life is a struggle.
If there are only these little flowers and grasses in the gap, it may only arouse people's pity; The most amazing thing is that there are still towering pines and cypresses in the cracks of the rocks, which are majestic and vigorous. They make the mountains have aura and make all life look pale and inferior in front of them. Their trunks grew tenaciously from the cracks in the stone, twisted and rotated, and every inch of the tree coat was scarred. Up, up, up. Every inch of growth has to go through several degrees of cold and heat, several degrees of spring and autumn. However, they finally grew into towering trees, with lush branches and needles that never withered. They stand on the cliff wall, on the high mountain peak, and only the knotted roots on the cliff silently tell you how hard their growth is. The roots, as thick as a python and as thin as a grass snake, are intertwined, plunge into a gap and drill out from another gap, thus extending along the ruthless bluestone, grasping the rock where it lives like sharp eagle claws. Sometimes, a pine and cypress tree, whose roots have to climb over half a cliff, seems to tie countless rocks tightly with a thick cable, let them face the storm, and finally occupy a world for themselves in a living space that does not belong to them.
If all life disdains to find a foothold in the crevices, there will be a large area of forever dead in the world, birds will have nowhere to live, all life that depends on flowers and trees will be extinct, and there will be eternal darkness that will never be civilized. If all life only covets black fertile soil, how can they improve their ability to control the environment and become stronger in the reproduction from generation to generation? The world is so wonderful. Imagine that weeds in crevices, once their seeds are scattered on fertile land, will be more vital and flourish than those delicate seeds that have not been tested by wind and rain; Imagine dandelions in crevices, once their seeds, supported by flocs and umbrellas, float to the wet countryside with the wind, they will surely thrive and resist the heat and cold better than other flowers; As for the tenacious pine and cypress, it is the lofty embodiment of life, the most perfect symbol of perseverance and will, it inspires all life and sets an example.
May all life not be sad because it falls between rocks. May all life dare to seek the most difficult environment. Life is to find yourself and know yourself in the most difficult situation, so as to temper yourself, grow yourself, and finally complete yourself and sublimate yourself.
The tenacious life between the cracks is both biological and philosophical, and it is the unity of biology and philosophy. It is also aesthetic. As an aesthetic phenomenon, it shows you not only layers of lush green decorating the barren hills, but also a beautiful and magnificent spiritual world.
The tenacious life between the cracks in the stone has such a shocking emotional power that it makes the planet we live on magical and brilliant.
