Lẩn thẩn

[Tràng Thi]

Lúc còn trẻ thì không sao, bây giờ trở lại thực hành bộ môn ping pong, tôi thật sự rất cẩn thận, mỗi ngày tôi practice khoảng 10 phút thôi. Và cũng tránh bị đau lưng khi đi nhặt banh trên sàn nhà every time, tôi order mấy chục trái banh cùng một lúc. Tôi nghĩ ra solution, để thùng giấy dưới bàn đựng những trái banh rớt xuống, phía sau tấm lưới là một khoảng trống. Bàn bên phía đối phương tôi dùng làm return board. Tôi không set up bàn ping pong trong garage, too much work to do for now, tôi sử dụng family room tạm thời trong lúc này.

[Tràng Thi]

Núi xa xăm núi biếc
Gió thênh thang gió ngàn
Đường chân trời là biển
Dòng nước chảy vô biên

Không nghe ghềnh đá hát
Không tiếng sóng vỗ về
Chỉ trùng khơi lặng lẽ
Trong bóng hoàng hôn rơi

Needless to say, Moon, Sun, and Earth are lifelong friends. They have existed in the universe for countless time. Moon orbits around Earth and Earth orbits around Sun. That’s the way the universe works. Moon is quiet and calm. Moon seems happy in its own solitude. Sun, on the other hand, is described as a little hot temper but energetic and enthusiastic. Earth is lively with water and land, good for its inhabitants. Earth inherits all the attributes from both Moon and Sun.

Spring and early summer on Earth, Sun plays an important role to bring more beauty to the land. There are lots of flowers blooming, these greenery seasons brought joys and refreshing to the mind and the soul. In Autumn, not sure Moon’s role can contribute anything to a season, not sure Autumn and Moon can be relevant in a sense of romance; However, this time is a time of poetry creation.

The book store (Fiction)

It is an old building constructed in 1940 and located in a small town. Next to a building on the right, it is a huge empty space with many tree lines surrounding. There is a playground for children, family and kids spending most of their free time there. On the left of a building, there is a coffee shop they also serve sandwiches. People who are going to the book store usually stopping by a coffee shop to have lunch and to order a cup of coffee. A small town is in a remote and high ground level area. There’s not much of business development in many decades.

Inside the book store, all the items are arranged by each category with colorful labels placing on the shelves for fiction, non-fiction novels, math, cooking, traveling, etc... At the corner, there are souvenir gifts shelves with handmade tote bags, greeting cards, puzzle game boxes, drawing notebooks, pens, and keychain pendants. There are many chairs and tables setting along the wall; everyone can sit down relax while awaiting relative, friend looking for a book to buy. The air conditioner runs all day in summer but not in winter time. Room temperature is always cool and comfortable. It is really a quiet environment, college students prefer the book store is a place where they can go to study for their upcoming exams.

Hand-writing a letter and using post stamp or going to a store purchasing a book, it is not as fast and convenient as electronic emailing or ordering a book online. Going back to this old-fashion style might slow us down a little with our ongoing busy life. But if time can be managed, then why hurry?

It is worth to keep this old-fashion way sometimes. There is value in it.
