A gift with four eyes facing each other

What fascinated me most about this book was that Michio Hoshino didn't shoot humpback whales, went to see the Xinjieke River in the far north and shoot the magical aurora. It wasn't even that he was attacked by a brown bear in the Arctic and gave his young life, but that Michio Hoshino and the vulture met at this moment. I was deeply fascinated by the lightning-fast spiritual convergence.

People and animals now have a magical "intersection". At that moment, there seemed to be a beam of light in my heart, which lit up their eyes and made them suddenly see each other clearly, which was deeply imprinted in my heart. It seems that they have been waiting for this "glimpse" for thousands of years, looking for it. Qian Shan is full of water just for this moment of reunion.

I was deeply moved by the intersection of this life and can't forget it for a long time.

The spirituality of human beings, animals and the universe is harmonious and unified at the intersection of a certain time and space, resulting in the intersection of hearts and the exchange of energy.

I think, the "light" of life that Michio Hoshino persistently pursued all his life is to spend his whole life trying to solve the mystery of nature, to reveal the magic of the universe, and to explore the way of harmonious coexistence between man and animals and between man and nature.

To find the "light" of one's own life, and to pursue the shelter of body and mind.

Beautiful dancer

Five years ago, Michio Hoshino and his friends met this whale-"Aunt". She will sing in the filtering operation and dominate the whole operation. She is a whale full of king's momentum, which is particularly rare.

Just like waiting for an old friend, animal protectors hope to see this whale every year. This action, they call it "whale watching".

When we modern people are looking for all kinds of delicious food, playing pesticide king and brushing friends circle, Michio Hoshino, a natural scientist, has their entertainment, exploring uninhabited polar regions, meeting killer whales in the sea, shooting humpback whales for food, and tracing back to the most primitive rivers in order to meet reindeer and wolves migrating in season. Whenever they encounter these rare animals and amazing natural scenes, it is their most important discovery, which can make them excited for a long time.

Being "ambiguous" with animals in the Arctic is their best entertainment.

The humpback whale dance he wrote is beautiful. "The sunset dyed the sky pink and reflected it into the sea to form a wonderful world. ..... Suddenly, like slow motion, the whale jumped up and danced in the air, and then let gravity pull its huge body back to the surface. In an instant, the sea broke all the silence like an explosion, but the whale continued to swim casually. "

I met a humpback whale. It likes dancing, showing off and pretending to be cool. Let this group of explorers suddenly feel that they really want to be "indecent".

Charming music

On a hot summer afternoon, white spots appeared on the horizon of Alaska's Arctic tundra, which soon became a line and extended downward. A herd of reindeer is coming towards my camp. Listening to the reindeer's parents calling each other "Hello ~ Hello ~", there is also a wonderful sound coming to the ears, "Kaji ~ Kaji ~ Kaji ~", which is not the hoofbeat, but the sound of the reindeer's soft muscles exerting strength while walking. That sounds really refreshing. The feeling of being surrounded by the harmony played by 100 thousand reindeer is like being trapped in the sea where reindeer gather.

Michio Hoshino likes to listen to the propeller sound of a small single-engine plane, the "hissing" sound of bubbling glaciers, the howling of wolves and the metallic sound of aurora flying all over the sky on a cold winter night, which gives people an illusion in silence. I also like to listen to "the song of reindeer haunting the mountains and rivers". These ultimate enjoyment are all blessings that the world can't dream of.

The murmur of flowing ice. "In April, the earth that has been frozen for half a year gradually melts under the sunshine, and the pace of spring is quite close ..."

"In the warm afternoon of early spring, it is quite comfortable to lie on the cool and thick snow. About an hour later, I suddenly woke up and saw two black ears coming out of the snow. I grew a pair of ears unconsciously. That's a pair of mother and son bears. One of them craned its neck and looked around for a while, then slowly climbed out. I've been waiting for this moment for days. But when I saw it with my own eyes, I still felt very surprised. I have never seen such a scene about a spring visit ... "

"In the middle of the frozen river, a huge tripod was built and a cable was tied to the clock on the river bank. When the ice on the river melts in spring, the clock will stop as soon as the flowing ice touches the cable. The moment when the river began to flow was really spectacular. Without any warning, the river that has been still for the whole winter suddenly turns into countless huge ice cubes and floats together. This is the voice that informs the arrival of spring. "

"Alaska, bet the date of the month, a few minutes and a few seconds to hear this voice, the closest one can win ten dollars. A small gambling game is about the majestic nature, and people can't wait for the arrival of spring. "

1 of "jump", listening to thunder in a quiet place. The cold for half a year has blocked the earth, and all Alaska is waiting for this solemn ceremony, tearing the freezing, spring and everything reviving. What a solemn and grand joy. Spring is full of hope and vitality.

With tenderness and sensitivity, Michio Hoshino feels Alaska wholeheartedly, and feels the magical changes and impacts of nature all the time. The running of reindeer is a dynamic and energetic rhythm. The melting and thawing of glaciers brings the call of seasons and new hopes. This influence has a fascinating charm for him.

Hometown of the soul

If everyone has a hometown, Michio Hoshino's hometown should be Alaska. People say: peace of mind is home.

Michio Hoshino likes Alaska very much. He likes all wild animals, such as brown bears, wolves, reindeer, elk and humpback whales ... Every flower and grass is always in love all year round. He studies and loves all plants, willow herb, blueberry and all kinds of polar flowers. He marveled at the amazing vitality of these little creatures, planted flowers and vegetables in his home, enjoyed the beautiful scenery of nature and took pictures of them.

In the winter of Alaska at minus 50 degrees, in the cold, he tried to understand and explore all kinds of beautiful things and spiritual feelings. His description of the Crystal Kingdom of Alaska, coupled with the magical aurora dance under the night lights, is like a mythical kingdom in which Yu Yu shines with dazzling brilliance. People forget the cruelty of living in the far north, and only remember fairy-tale aestheticism and yearning for beauty.

Because of the cold winter, he thanked the arrival of spring; His summer in Alaska is so beautiful and full of fun. In his garden, there is a "strawberry mystery". For several days, strawberries were stolen and there was a mushroom at the scene.

One day, I finally witnessed the thief. It turned out to be a red squirrel in the backyard forest. He picked mushrooms and was going back to his nest. Every time, he couldn't help being tempted by the smell of strawberries and trading them for them. Michio Hoshino thinks this life is full of charm: "I just want to look like a red squirrel, waiting for strawberries to ripen like my wife. I think it's very interesting." This neighbor who steals strawberries is so human and very cute.

Aurora dance

"One night, I put my head out of the tent and suddenly saw a light in the night sky in the north. I was attracted by this unexpected blue and white light and couldn't leave for a long time. "

"People, in fact, always subconsciously browse the scenery through their own hearts. What the wonderful light of the aurora tells may be the scenery in the hearts of every aurora viewer. "

Looking at mountains is not mountains, looking at water is not water, but looking at your own heart. The Zen flavor in Michio Hoshino's works is getting stronger and stronger. It is not so much that he explores, shoots and explores the true meaning of life in Treasure of Nature as that his mind is traveling, which proves his thinking and test of life through various adventures.

He pursues the avenue of life, the avenue of the universe.

Love of martyrdom spirit

Living in the harsh polar regions and pursuing dreams, many scientists and friends around him were killed, and Michio Hoshino couldn't help thinking of his own death. "All the creatures in the world will return to the dust and start a new journey. Is there really a boundary between life and death between organic matter and inorganic matter? When I die, I will go back to my favorite place. Plants in permafrost regions can produce small flowers in the far north with only a little nutrition; Every spring, I hear reindeer hooves coming from afar ... "

How small life is in the vast universe. Michio Hoshino knew that he came from nature and eventually returned to nature.

People may have two important natures. One is the nature around us, which is closely related to life. The other is the distant nature that has nothing to do with daily life. You don't have to be there, as long as you know that there is a nature in your heart, your mind will naturally be enriched.

Michio Hoshino has been pursuing the nature in her heart and her dream hometown.

Regard Michio Hoshino as a world-famous photographer, he is a gentle and affectionate poet; Take Michio Hoshino as a poet, he is a compassionate and compassionate philosopher; See Michio Hoshino as a scientist. He is a devout martyr, and his ideal is more important than life.

1In August, 1996, Michio Hoshino was shooting a location in kamchatka peninsula, but he was attacked by a brown bear outdoors in the early morning of the 8th and died unfortunately. The news shocked Japan and the world.

He treated all the animals gently and treated them like relatives with the humanitarian spirit of great love, but in the end, he was buried in the mouth of his most concerned brown bear.

However, this way is his own acceptable way to return to nature.

Michio Hoshino has always loved life with the spirit of a martyr, doing his favorite career.

Be the purest person and do the purest thing.

Guided by the mind, take him to pursue the "light" of life.

The most romantic thing in the world is to come from nature and return to nature.
