Found this words, "I also found happiness in learning to be a “good enough” mother and teacher, and learned to let go of perfect." in a blog.
I was hearing my heart trembled with joy and tears.
Joy coz i think i just found myself in a situation of "trying to be a perfect" mother.
Tears coz i think i am letting go the thought of "being a perfect" mother.
It is so touched and also full of some degree of worry(not fear).... but who knows what will happen tomorrow?
All will be answered with my prayers......
I have worries, but so what, they are not out of fear.
But simply due to not-knowing-what will happen tomorrow.
May i be blessed with strength and peace and harmony.

关于华德福
有时候我会很期待这种教育制度的落实。但更多时候，其实只是我个人对自己的生活态度的一个期许。若非沃道夫，我想很多现代的教育制度都要因为竞争和怕输而叫孩子走向人性的腐败了。感恩这世纪末出现的一个美丽的灵魂---RUDOLF STEINER.
不懂为什么，就是有很多的感动。不懂感动什么。
是因为有机会与亲爱的柔柔多点时间吗？
-- 虽然有点害怕不懂日后他会怪我没把她留下在幼儿园。
还是因为感动自己敢于放下工作，再次更全面的去陪伴孩子共成长？
-- 虽然都明明不知道自己会不会做得和老师一样好。
看了《愚人买鞋》。 就一直想，为什么我不相信自己，切要相信外面的准绳?

A prayer in the early morning
This was JE Tzu Chi Sunday school mini sport day. Everybody was looking forward to it and teachers and some parents have even came to the field a day earlier to get the lines and tents ready.
But it was raining heavily since the early Sunday morning. It was very obvious that their hard work of the past few weeks in preparing the mini sport day looked like was going to be a waste. Raindrops kept pouring in… non stop.
Children were complaining with disappointment. But the teachers were not going to give up this moment. Teachers shared about their hard work for the past weeks and told the children that why complain when those who put in hard work were the teachers and parents. It seemed to be quite a human nature that whenever we see things not going our way, we start to complain and express our disappointment.
Then the teachers started to lead all the students, with eyes closed, in a prayer that has the lyrics of 3 main wish, i.e.:
1. May we be free from all sufferings and hatred.
2. May the world be blessed with peace and harmony
3. May our minds be purified to be as clear as the early dawn.
And thus with the blessings from the Lord Buddha, after the first round of this prayer, it seemed that the thick black cloud which was enveloping the sky has started to move away.
With all hearts, the students and teachers continued to recite and sing this prayer again and again.
Then…..when they started to open their eyes again, one could not believe their eyes but to contemplate on the bright sky.
Here, is the power of prayers…..
Prayer for the mind and body
Praying not only for ourselves, but also for the betterment of all beings..
Here, is the great compassion, that when it proliferate, will make all being is great state of healthy mind and body.
