返璞归真 (Original Bali)




返璞归真,才是最响往的生活。

走在巴厘岛乡间的小路上,我的步伐出奇的轻快,我的思绪出奇的松弛。空气中似乎充满无限新鲜氧气,从鼻根吸入后充沛迅速输送全身,令人心旷神怡。

暖暖的阳光透过大树照在身上,徐徐的微风轻拍树叶发出的乐声飘入耳根。鸭子群在翠绿的田里嬉戏,小童们结伴步行上学堂;独自耕种的农人,头顶载物的行人;一幅极其简单自然的画面,竟让习惯了城市里霓虹灯吵杂声电脑电视手机多媒体广告等严重污染的官感,霎时获得释放,回归自然,返璞归真,感觉就像回到最初的起点,只有真,善,美。

巴厘岛某些景点,需要步行一段路程才到达目的地。由于所经过的村庄小巷朴素的田野风光,倒有点像是到郊外远足,连我们年幼的小孩们也虽然疲倦却不喊累。

郊区的巴厘人生活也许清苦,依然依靠山上流下的水洗澡洗衣,但朴实无华的简单生活,是另一种城市孩子们无法理解的现实与修行。。。




In the rural areas, Bali is exceptionally original in nature without much influence of modern technology and western culture.

We noticed that in the village, the villagers still rely on the stream from the mountain as the main water source for shower as well as washing their clothing. There were groups of ducks seen in the paddy field and the owner would come to chase them back home in the evening.

The original village life of Bali is a purity that is hard to experience in the city. Ironically there are many city folks who lead a busy city life with the objective of retiring and retreating to a peaceful and quiet life one day.

We met with a rich Danish American here who owns a beautiful resort in a valley in Ubud. Obviously he had chosen Bali to be his permanent residence, and his quality of life here is really admirable.

Who dares to say simplicity is not the ultimate sophistication….

  1. 越南北部边疆的Sapa也是一个相似的天堂. 旅费应该比Bali来得便宜.


    那儿的风景, 真叫爱摄影的人放不下摄影机来.

  2. 有时很矛盾,城里人向往乡村的朴素,乡村人却向往城里的繁华。。。

  3. 要都市人完全抛弃熟悉、舒适的事物,到小乡镇居住,还真不容易,所以像这样短暂旅居,也挺不错。

  4. rainfield61,
    发现越来越多人到越南,柬普寨等国家旅行,也许是返璞归真的表现。。
    有机会一定到Sapa开开眼界。

    普普,
    又矛盾又贪心,想城市的繁华与乡村的宁静纯朴兼得。。:-)

    红姑,
    能到处走走,是一大快事。

    Yoke-Yin,
    不是保护区,是民间耕地。

  5. 最后一张画面,让我想起小时候住在新路四条路,涨水时也是这样提着校鞋,赤着脚上学。
    你想返璞归真,我想返老还童!哈哈!

  7. 校长,
    每当看着乡村孩童的纯真,心里都很平静很舒服,心坎里再次返老还童。。。:-)

    khengsiong,
    The pictures were taken in Tampaksiring, northwards from Ubud, except the last photo was taken in the outskirt of Ubud itself.
