Occasional church, beautiful Columbia, New York's Central Park

Today is the last day of the students' fall break and decided to check it out in New York's Central Park. When I went, I went from the right side of Columbia University. Along the way, in addition to enjoying the cleanest air in New York, I also have to breathe in the oncoming smell of perfume, but the perfume here is a few people who make my nose allergic. The air quality in New York is indescribably good.

On the day I came, when the plane flew low over New York, what I saw outside the window made me sigh. Because the clouds floating low in the sky are so transparent. After living in New York, I realized that the air in the city was so clean. Outdoors and indoors, there is no dust. You don't have to change your shoes when you come back from outside, and you don't have to dust your room anymore. When the air is clean, the colors of the sky are beautiful, and I laugh when I see it, and I am intoxicated when I see it.

In the first few days of my arrival, I was looking at the sky on the campus of Columbia University. There are great clouds in the sky, and the most beautiful and clean blue and the most holy clouds are so comfortable and happy. There are no clouds floating here, and it is always quiet in the blue sky. I was thrilled to see such a picture, and it seemed to me that the clouds would never have to drift anymore, and this was the best.

The sunset is more beautiful, I have liked the sunset since I was a child, and the sunrise does not care too much, including the sunrise, I don't like to watch it. Specifically, I felt a little tired at that moment. On the campus of Columbia University, I saw the most beautiful sunset, the pure blue sky, interspersed with transparent and indescribable red, 'red', which is inaccurate and cannot be described in precise colors, is the best mixture of red and yellow.

When I saw this, I couldn't help but laugh with excitement. The sky in New York is so beautiful! The clouds in New York are the most beautiful! The blue sky and white clouds in New York make me the most fascinated and happy.

But there was one thing I didn't expect, which was the fallen leaves all over the street. I hadn't seen a sweep in all this time, and I was just dancing in the wind. I wasn't used to it when I first came, but now I feel that there's nothing wrong with not sweeping, and I can't sweep either. Because, New York is full of trees. Therefore, there is no way to sweep the leaves in late autumn.

Columbia University is a city built on an island in the Manhattan area, surrounded by the sea. So the wind made me feel a little strong, and I liked the road, which was completely climbing, all uphill and downhill. The heel of high heels is very tested, so the women here mostly wear flat shoes.

I also walked to Central Park in New York in my flats. After seeing the park, the first feeling was that I was back in the Qinling Mountains, surrounded by thousands of purples and reds, the difference is that the forests are dyed instead of deep mountains. It may be that I have climbed more mountains in the past few years, and New York's Central Park only excites me, but not so beautiful that I am excited.

Besides, the season I came to is not the most beautiful time in Central Park, it should be the best time to come when I arrive. Now there is another kind of beauty, that is, when the wind blows, the bright leaves on and under the trees merge into a waterfall and a curtain, and the fluttering and sprinkled are all in one, which is very spectacular. This is not seen in the mountains.

Coming home from the park, we came back from the east side of Columbia. On the way, you will pass a church, the largest church in New York near Columbia. When I saw this tall and majestic building, my heart struck: how could God's darling not go in?

It was my first time in church. In the past, I have seen in the country that I have never had the idea of going in. There were two boxes at the entrance of the hall, and I only saw the words "Please leave ten yuan", and I didn't continue to look at it. Because I didn't expect to pay for entering the church.

My companion and I had no faith, so we didn't know whether it was better to let it go or not, and in the quiet and solemn hall except for the two of us, it was the couple who went in front, and seeing that they didn't let it go, we followed in. Those who think that only believers leave money.

The hall was too big, the dome was tall and elaborate, and I went straight to the rear. When I stood in front of Jesus, I was still moved to tears because I put my hands together and said, "God, your darling has finally come."

And then I really repented of one thing.

The family members on the side said: Your action is wrong, it is a gesture to enter the temple to worship the Buddha.

Hearing him say this made me laugh, and the excitement I had just had disappeared, and when I looked at Jesus on the cross, I didn't feel religious. I think that's not good, after all, we don't have faith, and it's not appropriate to be serious here. So, soon left.

But when I got home, I was thinking about the box and regretted that I hadn't read the contents in detail. At that time, I should have let go, I didn't have faith when I went to the temple in China, and sometimes I would leave money, not to mention that I entered the church for the last time in my life, and it is unlikely that I will enter it in the future (but, the moment I wrote the article, a thought suddenly came in, and I will go again when I return home. ）。

After struggling for three days, I decided to take the time to go again, just to put down ten yuan.

Today is Saturday, and there are more people in the hall, coming in and out in twos and threes. At the entrance of the hall stood a very gentlemanly old man, and whenever someone came in, he would pick up the brochure on the box and explain, and then the person who heard it would put money in the box. I came in with an old lady, and when he turned to me, he saw that I had taken out my wallet, and asked where the old man had come from and gave him a brochure.

Only now can I see the details written on the box, it turns out that it is a fundraiser. It is to bring a loyal friend dog to those who need it, so that these helpless people have a best friend to accompany them.

At this time, I noticed that there were many pictures of dogs and their owners on the walls on both sides. I was very moved to see a lot of pictures. One of them is a wandering middle-aged man sleeping on a park bench on a cold day, his skinny dog sleeping on top of him, and the second is a man running with a broken luggage cart pushing his belongings, his dog sitting by the basket kissing his smiling face, he is so happy......

I came to the presence of the Lord again, but this time the divine feeling was gone, and Mo Ming's excitement was so great that it was childish and joyful. And the others, as if they saw it in the temple, were preoccupied.

I tried to pretend to be solemn and sat and watched Jesus. But I just can't do it, I can't concentrate at all, I just want to laugh. Later, I thought about it and didn't pretend. I asked the tourists on the side to take pictures for me, and I was happy to take pictures of this and that.

This time I stayed in the church for a long time, and I was happy for a long time, and my mind seemed to stop in that quiet place, and I couldn't think of anything, but I was happy, very happy........

As for why I'm so happy, I really haven't thought about it, maybe it's just silly music, hehe.

The photos below were taken on the Columbia campus, Central Park in New York, and at the church. I would like to share my joy with my friends, because New York is really beautiful, but the price is very high, I live in a school house, less than 30 square meters, and the monthly rent is 1'5,000 dollars. An apple is $1'1, a large pepper is $1'3, a cauliflower is $1'5, and 500g of tofu is $3'8........

And the milk is really delicious, and the seafood is relatively cheap, not much different from our country, all from the sea, no pollution, high quality, so that I love seafood to eat very enjoyable, hehe.

However, in other cities and small places in New York, the price of goods is very low, and a person can eat well for $100 a month.

It can be seen that New York not only has the highest housing prices in the United States, but also the highest prices, and in the face of high prices in New York, for the first time, I feel that the money we earn in Xi'an is really not much to spend here, hehe.......
