All I know is to tell the story
Confucius once went to a quiet place near a pond where he sat under a tree to reflect upon his life. And so it began.
His successor, Mancius, followed his example and went to the same place, but said, “I can’t find the tree under which my teacher used to sit, but I still can reflect on my life.” And so it was done.
Numerous generations passed. Chu Hsi, a pious believer of Confucianism, went to a certain place, but said, “I don’t know under which tree near which pond my forefathers of Confucianism used to sit. All I know is to find a place and reflect on my life. I think that will be enough.” And so it was done.
Numerous generations had passed. Eric stayed at home and said, “I don’t know how to find a place to reflect on my life. All I know is to tell the story.” _________________ 舌頭那匹温暖的水獸 馴養地在小小的水族箱中 蠕動

All I know is to tell the story is my narrative response to the following poem:
Poem Text of Thoughts While Reading Written by Chu Hsi and Translated by Kenneth Rexroth
The mirror of the pond gleams,
Half an acre in size.
The splendour of the sky,
And the whiteness of the clouds
Are reflected back upon themselves.
I ask the pond where I can find
Anything else as pure and transparent.
"Only in the springs of the water of life.” _________________ 舌頭那匹温暖的水獸 馴養地在小小的水族箱中 蠕動

An interesting story about storytelling.

Confucius used to go to a quiet place near a pond and sit under a tree and reflect on his life and it was done.

In my view, "he did so" would be better than "it was done." _________________ I'm Champagne,

Storytelling is always the art of repeating stories of lessons.
温暖的水獸 写到: | All I know is to tell the story
Confucius used to go to a quiet place near a pond and sit under a tree and reflect on his life and it was done.
“I can’t find the tree my teacher used to sit under, but I still can reflect on my life.” And what he had been asked to do was done.
“I don’t know which tree near which pond my forefathers of Confucianism used to sit under. All I know is to find a place and reflect on my life. That will have to be enough.” And it was done.
|
Here are my suggestions:
1 "and to reflect on his life and it was done."
2 "I can’t find the tree under which my teacher used to sit,"
3 And is was done.
4 "I don’t know under which tree near which pond my forefathers of Confucianism used to sit ." _________________ Time is nothing but a disquiet of the soul |

Many gerations passed, a frog sitting in the well, said: the sky is round, my well is a nice and cool place to reflect on my life, I don't know if anywhere else in the world beyond this well better for me to sit and enjoy my life? _________________ 达则兼济天下,雅能独善其身。 |

Yes, thanks. Now, you are my English teacher.
I'm a little surprised that you didn't get the point in my piece. Is it because I use your English name in my story? _________________ 舌頭那匹温暖的水獸 馴養地在小小的水族箱中 蠕動

What does this frog story have anything to do with my story?

All I know is to tell the story of reflection? |
All I know is to tell the story of reflection on Confucius’s ideal: to cultivate one’s character is to “examine oneself three times daily.”
A storytelling metaphor for ritualized reflection.

I sit alone
By the lake of mind
I see your face
Beneath the water
We never get tired
Of gazing at each other
I call out to you
Silently comes an echo
I dedicate these moments
To you alone, for you
I groom myself _________________ Time is nothing but a disquiet of the soul |

Yes, this poem is dedicated to you and my beloved late Taiwanese Filmmaker Edward Yang, from whose work I appropriated A Confucian Confusion.

Late in the night we listen to our own breathing in the dark and rework our stories and we do it again the next morning and all day long, before the looking glass of ourselves, reinventing our purposes. Without storytelling it’s hard to recognize ultimate reasons why one action is more essential than another. --- William Kittredge _________________ Time is nothing but a disquiet of the soul |

A mirror comes as a relief
