問題詳情：

My son Tom taught me a beautiful lesson today. He is three years old and it is amazing watching him grow up.

He called out to me today saying, “Papa, sit”. That usually means   41   everything and going next to him and sitting down to play with him. I did that, as he can be   42   and will not stop calling out until I   43  . He was playing with beads (珠子), pushing a string through them, which is a great exercise to help   44   fine motor skills. Then, after he finished playing with the beads, it was time to put them back in the box that they are stored in. I saw him   45   pick up each bead, look at it   46   it were made of chocolate and then placed it into its box.

With over a hundred beads to go, I was getting   47  . “What a long time it will take! Why cannot he   48   ten beads in one go and drop them in?” said my anxious mind. I noticed that he did this with as much   49   as he had while we were playing. I didn’t see any   50   between his play and his putting away the toy. Obviously he enjoyed both.

Then it suddenly   51   me that this boy was enjoying the whole   52  . The journey was his goal. For him the   53   was in the game and after the game, not just in the fun part. What a great perspective: to live each moment as it is the   54   moment; to do each task as it is the most awesome task. Nothing else   55  .

Looking at how   56   my son was putting beads into the box   57   me that the process was the goal. The joy of pilgrimage (朝聖) is not in getting there but in every   58   of the journey.

This is what living in the NOW is all   59  . Tom, my son, was showing me that it was about thoroughly enjoying every moment with   60   love and peace.
