今天天气不是一般地好,在英国,如果遇到好天气,该干嘛就干嘛,要趁机享受阳光,否则下面好多天没有阳光,就后悔去吧。早上七点多我起床第一个念头是去海边跑步。打开门,看看我刚刚被修好的车停的位子不对,趁着早上没有什么车经过,我决定把车先停到家门口来,经过几个折腾,车被我正正经经地停好了,准确地在家门口,车钥匙和大门钥匙拿在手里,准备出发去跑步,不想再麻烦把车钥匙送回家了。

早上的阳光太灿烂,海在阳光的照耀下,散发出蓝宝石一样的光,我一边跑一边想着在海边跑步的好处,比如免费的负离子,还有,面对着海,如此辽阔,心里面什么不开心的事情都会散去,我还想,如果有天可以钓螃蟹,是个好主意。这样想着,跑完步就回来,穿过红绿灯的人行道,穿到一半的时候,低头发现自己车钥匙的一半掉在地上,就是发动车的那部分,遥控的那部分在手里,捡起来继续走。等我到了家门口,再看看,那一半车钥匙又不见了。

糟糕至极,心里面暗叫不好!自从买了车,出了无数的问题,上次修一点小问题被车行老板弄手脚,后来放在另外一个车行半年才被修好,花了900磅,账单还没付,带给我无穷无尽的烦恼,现在刚拿回来,车钥匙又不见了!是不是这个车是倒霉车,一有这样的念头,赶紧停住,没有用,找钥匙才是最重要的!赶紧回头去找,一边走一边祷告,我沿着家门口到海边走了两遍都没看见车钥匙,沮丧极了。本来我以为没有车的遥控部分,是不可能打开车的,我可以先去教会,回来再想办法。后来想想,如果有人捡到那部分钥匙,可以手动打开车门,将车开走。我真是觉得难过极了!就放弃吧,我准备吃了早饭,等着人来接我去教会。

坐在饭桌前吃早饭,我根本吃不下去。脑子里全是钥匙的事情,索性再祷告,心里面太难过了,我很少为什么事情不能吃饭和睡觉,现在体会到了。这次祷告的时候,脑子里出现了一幅图画,是海边的B&B旅馆,很强烈的印象,挥之不去。饭也吃不下去,我索性放下饭碗,又回去找,这次走到了海边的B&B哪里,出现了几个人,有来旅游的中国人,有在旅馆工作的当地男人,问了中国人,他们说没有看见钥匙,那个当地的男人帮我找了一遍,还是没有找到。我放弃了,回家,着急死了,着急的时候,什么办法都没有了,我只能求助神了,索性把方言用上了,我一边走路,一边说方言,连走错了路都不知道,看到我的人一定觉得我很滑稽。快走到家门口的时候,我觉得还是应该回到B&B那里,脑子里连钥匙的样子都出现了,不能放弃。

这次再回到B&B,我索性一家一家旅馆的门口敲开,对他们讲我的车钥匙丢了,有没有看见。问了三家,都没有看到,有一家的主人应该是经常看到我跑步,告诉我说他看见我过马路的时候系鞋带,好搞笑啊。我决定放弃了,这时有家人的门口突然打开了,一个穿着艳红色睡衣的老太太出来了,她看起来有80岁了,我决定去问问她,她的耳朵有些聋,我趴在她耳朵上才将事情讲清楚,她很遗憾地说没看见,不过,又加了一句话,my darling, if somebody pick up your key, they may put it somewhere in the pillar。I really want to help you but I can't help you more. 带着沮丧,我真的准备放弃了。

这次拐了弯,离开了海边的大道,心里面充满了失望,失落!昨天教会里的祷告上面,神还给我一句话说,don't let your heart be troubled! god's calling brings joy. Do not fear!我对神说,bring that joy back to me。fulfill your word。那个老太太说的那句话突然涌上心头,my darling, if somebody pick up your key, they may put it somewhere in the pillar。如果有人捡到你的钥匙,他们可能会放在柱子上面这样的地方。

就像一个蒙太奇的镜头,我的心里面突然被打开了,我迅速地回头,如果用拍电影的手法,我极快地回到海边的B&B,搜索了每个B&B前门花园半人高的围墙,看到第三个的时候,我的半截车钥匙愕然地躺在那里!抓在手里,那个老太太还站在家门口!她就像英国侦探小说里给人启示和线索的智慧老人,我冲过去紧紧抱着她,对她说谢谢!告诉她钥匙找到了。

有很多感受,寻找的,就遇见!另外就是,出了问题,不要分析,self-introspection,self-blame,不放弃,执着地走下去,尤其是祷告当中出现B&B的画面,回头几次都找不到,如果放弃的话,就是半途而废了。另外,我们祷告当中说,if God didn't answer your pray, just keep on kocking at the door! just pray, do not let your heart be troubled! 就一定可以找到答案!

My house is in city center, it's very hard to have that kind of neighborhood as yours. I have been robbed and stolen not long ago in front of my house.  You must live in a good area.

well, i don't live in the city. i live in suburb. the concept of "city" here is a bit different from europe and china.

yes, even for now, the areas around here, still have very low crime rate. maybe because we have NRA here?

What's the purpose of NRA?

where is the richest area of the states? New York or SF or LA? Based on my knowledge, I can only guess these several places.

national rifle association; according to the constitution of the states, people have right to bear arms, to defend his/he personal property, and so on... we call it "gun rights", which is a big topic for every president election in last 30 years. virginia is the state where NRA headquarter is located.

i guess you meant for new york city, not new your state...

nyc, sf and la are not really rich areas. they are in the spotlight all the time and there are some really rich folks living there. yes there are few rich pockets in those cities, but in average, those three metro areas are known for high cost of living, relative low wages/salaries and high crime rate. one of reasons for this is huge number of poor people living in those three metro areas.

fairfax county, loudoun county of northern virginia are two richest counties in the states. i am not aware of any super rich tycoons living around here but certainly a lot of rich people living around here, and average household income around here is on the top of all counties in the states.

the way of structure of society, the formation of businesses and communities make those less fortunate people very difficult to live around here. also most of federal agencies are actually located in northern virginia, instead of dc, so a lot of federal agents, a lot of cops around here. so it is not disirable area for criminals.

老外的习惯和你的神一点关系没有,别什么好事都归于你们的神。
老外把拾到的东西放在电线杆等显眼处,这是个常识。

可是这些习惯我不知道啊,如果没有祷告,我找不回来。我想说的是,神如何帮助我找到,将正确的信息传达给我。

是的,这就是我的感受。我通过这个小事件的大感受是,寻找的就能遇见,叩门的就能开门。
