🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"What was in the heart of the painter who drew a bird beside the ripened fruit?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This is a Chinese painting by an unknown painter, in which a single bird perches on a loquat tree. The bird beside the yellow-ripened fruit enjoys one season of abundance. My heart rests on this small peacefulness. Fruit does not ripen overnight. Only after passing through all the blossoms of spring and the sunlight of summer does it finally hang at the branch's tip. The harvest enjoyed now has come at the end of a long, unseen time. The joy of reaping is the portion of the one who planted and waited.
