🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"On the night before the roundest moon, where does the heart turn?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This anonymous Chinese landscape holds the scene of the night before the full moon of the Mid-Autumn festival. The stillness just before the dark, awaiting the moon that will soon grow roundest, rests upon the sheet. The air of waiting before a filling stirs the heart in any land. Here I see the depth of waiting. There are times when the night a day before the roundest moment is more profound than the roundest moment itself. After it is fully filled, only waning remains, but just before the filling, every expectation is alive. The time of waiting for something is, in itself, a fullness.
