🇮🇸 Feel the fragile but tenacious life in the darkness of the blue ice cave

I have been to Iceland twice, and what impressed me most was the blue ice cave near Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. The tour guide led us to the deepest part of the blue ice cave, a place where we could only move forward by bending over and there was no light. He asked us to sit down, turn off all the lights on our mobile phones and helmets, and feel this moment quietly. He said, "You are now part of it and it is part of you." During those few quiet minutes, I couldn't help but burst into tears, which flowed out uncontrollably. This emotion is very subtle. When it happens, I only know which direction it comes from, but I don’t know where its source is. In the car on the way back, I wrote in my memo: Today, when we were deep in the blue ice cave, everyone sat quietly in the cave and felt life. Suddenly, an inexplicable emotion surged up, and tears welled up in my eyes. I cried so hard that I was almost sobbing. I asked myself why I was crying? At that moment, I felt touched first, then cherishment and love. I feel that nature is truly amazing. Human beings are both small and brave. Our tiny figures are curled up in a historical ice cave formed over tens of millions of years, coexisting with sacred creatures. I don't know what human beings have done to challenge nature, but the bravery and vigorous vitality revealed in the process made me sigh... In Michio Hoshino's "Travel Wood", he wrote, "The reindeer calf was born in the snowy field with howling wind, and the white-rumped finches chirped in the severe cold of minus 50 degrees. They all made me feel the tenacity of life. However, nature is always tenacious and vulnerable. What fascinates me is the fragile side of nature and life. I always feel that our living day by day is not a matter of course, but a great miracle... We live in such fragility. In other words, humans rely on nature to survive within a certain range. Perhaps if we are not careful, we will forget this." Perhaps, what touches me is the moment when nature expresses itself generously to me. #Register for August Hotel Test Sleeper #Nanshan Hotel Conrad Shenzhen
