但是,如果不乘木筏从内卡河漂流而下,是没有人能够理解、感知、享受这种至高的温柔、平和的美妙的。

木筏的漂流是不可或缺的运动,它柔美、顺滑、流畅、无声;它平息一切狂躁的行为;缓和所有不安的仓促和急躁情绪。

在其宁静的影响下,一切影响情绪的烦恼、悲伤都销声匿迹,变成一个梦,一种魅力,一种深深的、宁静的喜悦。

这与炎热、辛劳的徒步行走,与尘土飞扬、隆隆行驶的火车,还有在炫目的大道上单调颠簸的疲惫马车,形成了怎样的对比啊!

带着不断高涨的愉悦和满足感,我们在郁葱芳香的河岸间静静地滑行。

有的地方,岸边倒垂下的浓密柳枝,覆盖了后面所有的土地;有的地方,河岸一侧是壮丽的山脉,上面植被丰盈,另一侧则是一望无际的平原,开放着鲜艳的罂粟花,或是靛蓝怡人的矢车菊。

我们时而漂流在森林的阴影之下,时而沿着天鹅绒般柔软的草地边缘滑行。

那映入眼帘的草地是那么碧绿清新,灼灼明亮,蕴藏着无限的魅力。

还有那鸟儿——随处可见。

它们频繁地穿梭于两岸之间,鸣起的欢歌不绝于耳。

看日出能让人百般回味且愉悦人心。

太阳冉冉升起,耐心地、温柔地铺上一层又一层光彩,披上一片又一片壮丽,直到一个新的早晨完整地筑就起来。

在木筏上观赏日出,与等候在火车站的候车室中,嚼着干巴巴的三明治,透过窗户眺望破落的小村庄的感觉,有着天壤之别。
