If I were an animal. . .

If I am an animal, then I am a fox.

Just got off the phone with my husband, sitting on the sofa, holding a mobile phone and throwing my legs on the back of the sofa, I said, if I am an animal, what am I? My first reaction was a pig. But pig ugly, I won't do it. Husband said, big white goose. . . Well, middle-aged women who practice ballet can't become white swans. Honey, let's talk about ducklings. Well, my nickname in college was Duckling. No, I don't want any of these. I want to be a fox, beautiful, charming, isolated and Zen.

I chose the fox because I just read an article "Fox Zen: A Master of Mindfulness Captured in the Photographer's Lens".

"Breathing fresh air and enjoying the warmth of the sun stroking fur, they close their eyes and let themselves stand still in that space. It's that simple. "

"I love the way they completely relax and get rid of pain, fear, hunger and cold and all physical and mental discomfort."

"The fox's control of this happy state is unparalleled, and the fox can completely enter the state. . . Relaxation is their second instinct. "

Look at the fox under the photographer's lens, or lie down with your eyes closed, or stand with your eyes closed, looking up at the sky, completely still. Around the beautiful fur, the grass is green under the sun. And when you open your eyes, it is deep, still quiet and restless.

Seeing these pictures reminds me of Duchamp's words: every breath is a work.

"I learned the fox's lifestyle, just to calm myself down and sit tight, but what if nothing has changed? Hey, at least you had a good day-I just breathed fresh air and enjoyed the warmth of the sun touching my skin. "

If I were an animal, I would be a pig, a white goose and a duckling, but I wish I were a fox. When I die, I will have a flash of this idea. I have been to this world. I have been in the sun, with my eyes closed, breathing fresh air and enjoying the warmth when the sun caresses my skin.
