🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"What drew the painter to render the fierce rapids?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This Chinese landscape by an unknown hand holds rapids cutting fiercely between the rocks as they flow. The more it is blocked, the faster and more forcefully the water makes its way. It is striking that the obstacle is the very thing that creates the water's momentum. On level ground the water is calm, but where it meets the rocks it breaks most vividly alive. A blockage may be not an end but the place where a new strength wells up. At the place we meet resistance, we often grow most solid.
