Last time, I took Lorens as the main thread and wrote some of my insights on "kindness and truth have met, and justice and bliss will also kiss each other".
Let’s talk about Chef Barbet of Café anglais, who was once sought after by the rich in Paris:
On that stormy night when she first arrived at her sister's house, she was powerless, hopeless, and haggard. At that time, she was alive, but already dead.
In the process of working for her sister for more than ten years, she used less money and simple ingredients to make food with heart To the taste buds of sisters and their benevolent objects...
When she was alone, she would still be full of tears, missing her husband who died and the days when she used precious ingredients to create.
Only in the process of searching for ingredients and cooking can you see her smile...
Did you see that from the moment she decided to cook a meal with the 100,000 francs from the lottery, her whole body glowed, humming a little tune, engrossed and full of energy...
She is resurrected.
The moment she finished the dessert, she poured herself a glass of Clos de vougeot, took a sip, and came back with joy, as if she had seen herself at Café anglais in Paris.
After the coffee and the after-dinner drink, her face was a little tired and disappointed. The "bliss" that she once experienced every day was over at this moment, maybe forever, over .
But when she took another sip of red wine, she laughed—so what, she's an artist, and there will be highs and lows, but the only thing that won't be poverty.
She spent 10,000 francs to cook a luxurious French feast for twelve people, not all for the people at this table, not even mainly for this table...
But to create, to create happiness, to create what the general said "a pleasure that combines appetite and spiritual enjoyment", to create her own "blissful" feeling.
"through the world sounds one long cry from the heart of the artist give me the chance to do my best"
The happiness she created for the world may end when she cleans the table.
But, there is an afterlife...
" In the kingdom of heaven you will become a great artist, with God's blessing, to fascinate the angels"
