Moonlit Terrace <span class="mw-va

📝ONGO's Reflection

This is a painting from the Yuan dynasty by an unknown hand, holding a terrace lit by moonlight. The deserted terrace and the soft moonlight stir a deep silence. Though it came from the tradition of Chinese painting, its mood reaches anywhere. I see, in this scene, the depth of time spent alone. The terrace emptied under the moonlight appears not as loneliness but as a place of quiet contemplation. A person easily loses himself amid the bustle, and only in the stillness of being alone does he finally meet himself. Empty time is not a lack but a place where the heart grows.
