Stepping into a pool of water is common enough ,but who could ever imagine stopping into a pool of fish ?In February of 1974, Bill Tapp ,an Australian farmer ,saw a rain of fish that covered his farm . How surprised he must have been when he heard many fish hitting against his roof!
What caused this strange occurrence ?This is a question that had long puzzled people who study fish .The answer turned out to be a combination of wind and storm.
When it is spring in the northern part of the world ,it is fall in Australia, Throughout the autumn season ,terrible storms arise and rains flood the land .The strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum(真空) cleaners, collecting seaweed ,pieces of wood , and even schools of fish .

How long have you been busy, rushing around all day? We are always on, talking, emailing, sending and reading messages. There is just no 1 for stillness.
And when we are 2 to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting for a bus or train, we often 3 something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re 4 .
This comes at a 5 : we lose time for 6 , for observing and listening. We lose peace. And worse yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, but get 7 done.
Take a moment to think about how you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering 8 ?Are you always 9 through your schedule?
Is this how you want to spend your 10 ? If so, peace is with you. If not, take a moment to be 11 . Then after a minute of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d like it to be. See your life with less movement, more stillness and more 12 .
Then be that vision.
It’s pretty simple: all you have to do is to sit still for a little bit each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too 13 . Slow down; find happiness now, at this moment, instead of 14 for it.
15 the stillness. It’s a treasure, and it’s available to us, always.
