🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"What is the horse upon the broad plain heading toward?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This is an anonymous Chinese painting in which a single horse is set against a broad landscape. The harmony of nature and life held in Chinese painting is in it, yet its mood reaches anyone. In this painting I see an untamed vitality. The horse holds the strength to gallop swiftly, yet stands still for a moment within the broad scene. One that knows how to run does not always run. Strength lies not in always using it, but in knowing when to use it. The horse that knows how to halt is the one that travels far.

Even with the strength to run, discern whether now is a time to halt or a time to advance.
