🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"Why does a scene blurred and hidden by mist seem, instead, all the deeper?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This anonymous Chinese landscape holds a scene sunk in mist. The mountains and trees, once distinct, grow dim within the mist, leaving only their outlines. Yet because not all is seen, the viewer comes to imagine what lies beyond, and the scene grows, rather, deeper and more profound. The lingering trace the mist gives carries in any land. Here I see the virtue of vagueness. It is not that one must know everything in sharp clarity. Only when a place is left dim does room open for the heart to wander within it. At times, what is not fully seen holds more.

Do not force a verdict on a matter not yet clear; leave it for a while, like mist.
