几年前朋友送了一盆佛珠给我，鲜绿多肉，长长后被我放在玻璃樽上。珠珠像绿色挂帘垂落，整体看起来增添了些小清新，养眼好看。我还曾以佛珠为题材摄影。

去年疫情严重，朋友来我处送东西时，我送了一盆佛珠给她。今年五月初，她微信发我佛珠开花的照片，兴奋地写道：你给的佛珠花开疯了，好漂亮哦，谢谢你。我一边点赞一边诧异地告诉她：我家的佛珠从未开过花，可能是我经常剪下送人的缘故。她一边安慰我一边打气：你家的佛珠一定也能开花。

我去百度查了一下：多肉佛珠会开花，一般早春开花，开花的時候十分可爱：花色為白色，花朵的长度大約有三公分，零零散散，在多肉的佛珠中绽放，显得十分美丽。

于是，我向朋友学习，不再剪断佛珠，盼望它有朝一日也能开花。

近日和大学同学微信闲聊。他幽默地写道：“哪个人有某某的出身，某某的精明，我的文采，综合一下，现在应该是个大官。”

我即刻笑着回答：过了不惑之年，还谈什么官不官的，现在身体健康最重要。

多肉佛珠花语是清纯、安静和期盼。

即将走入黄昏的我，面对生活，面对自己喜欢的事情，是不是也应该心平气和，安步当车，如佛珠的花语一般清纯、安静和期盼？

Buddha Beads

A few years ago, my friend gave me a pot of Buddha Beads plant. They were bright green and fleshy. After they grew longer, they were put on the glass bottle by me. The beads hang down like a green curtain, adding some small freshness and pleasing to the eyes. I have also photographed Buddha Beads.

Last year, the epidemic was serious. When my friend came to my place to send things, I gave her a basin of Buddha Beads. In early May this year, she sent me some photos of Buddha Beads blooming on wechat and wrote excitedly: the Buddha Beads you gave are crazy bloomed and beautiful. Thank you.  While praising, I was surprised to tell her that the Buddha Beads in my family had never bloomed. Maybe it was because I often cut them off and gave them away. She comforted me and encouraged me: the Buddha Beads in your family must also  blossom.

I went to Baidu to check: the fleshy Buddha Beads will bloom. Generally, they will bloom in early spring. They are very lovely when they bloom: the color of the flower is white, and the length of the flower is about three centimeters, scattered among the fleshy. Buddha Beads look very beautiful.

Therefore I learned from my friend that I would no longer cut the Buddha Beads and hoped that they would bloom one day.

Recently I chatted with my college classmate on wechat. He wrote humorously: "who has someone origin, someone shrewdness, my literary talent, combined all he should be a senior official now."

I immediately replied with a smile: after 50 years of age, you still talk about whether to be official or not. Now physical health is the most important.

The fleshy flower language of Buddha Beads is pure, quiet and expectation.

As I am about to enter the dusk, should I be calm to face of life and things that I like, such as the flower language of Buddha Beads, pure, quiet and looking forward?
