Some people in the world will give up things that most people think are very valuable for what they think in their hearts. The values ??deep in these people's hearts are contrary to universal values, and they dare to implement them. For example, the thorn bird gives up its life for the most beautiful sound. In universal values, life is more important than beautiful sounds, but in the heart of a thorn bird, one can give up life for the most beautiful sounds.
The highlight is the unforgettable love between Father Ralph and Meggie - there is a big age gap between the two. Meggie was still a child when Ralph first met her. Unknowingly, it sublimated into love. However, priests cannot get married. On the one hand, Ralph is loyal to his faith in God, but on the other hand, he is immersed in love for Meggie and cannot extricate himself. Therefore, the love between them is "forbidden love" - ??forbidden love, unforgettable.
The thorn bird is a metaphor for the love between Ralph and Meggie: "There is a kind of bird in the world that sings only once in its life. Once it leaves its nest to look for a thorn tree, it won't give up until it finds a thorn tree. It sings itself Nailed on the sharpest and longest thorn, a swan song cost life. Its song is better than the lark and the nightingale, even the God in heaven stops listening." It illustrates: the most beautiful things can only be heard in the deepest way. In exchange for huge pain!
We spend our lives looking for our thorn tree, it may be Ralph and Dane's perfect God, it may be Luke's money, it may be Meggie's love , it may be the children that mothers devote their lives to, it may be Zhu Siting's freedom and independence... Even if you know that the best things can only be exchanged for deep pain, even if you know that the song will end, We still rush to our thorn tree regardless of anything, even if it is a moth to the flame.
The author's inscription says this - there is a legend about a bird that sings only once in its life, and its song is more beautiful and beautiful than the songs of all living things in the world. From the moment it leaves the nest, it is looking for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it finds what it wants. Then, it plunged its body into the longest and sharpest thorn, and let loose its voice among the wild branches. In its dying moments, it transcended its own pain, and its song eclipsed both the lark and the nightingale. This is an extremely beautiful song, and the song ends with death. However, the whole world is still listening, and God is smiling in the sky. Because the best things can only be exchanged for deep pain and great trauma... or so the legend goes.
"Life is very precious to everyone. It is a pleasant thing to sit in a green tree and watch the sun driving her golden carriage and the moon driving her pearl carriage. Hawthorn The bellflowers that lurk in the valleys and the heathers that bloom on the hills are also fragrant. But love is better than life, and how can the heart of a bird compare to the heart of man?" "Be happy," cried the Nightingale. , "Be happy, you are about to get your red rose. I will make it with music in the moonlight and dye it red with the blood in my chest. I ask you to repay me with only one thing, That is, you have to be a true lover, because although philosophy is smart, love is smarter than her, and although power is great, love is greater than him. The flame reflects the wings of love and makes his body as red as the flame. . His lips are as sweet as honey; his breath is as fragrant as frankincense.”
I hope that Ralph and Meggie will meet again in the distance without God, even if it is not heaven, so that their love can be renewed. There is no need to be forgiven.
