🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"How has water, flowing for so long, shaped the hard rock beneath it?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
Kim Hong-do painted the broad flat stone of Balyeon in the Diamond Mountains, and the pool that gathers as the water slides across it. Not a violent waterfall, but a gentle current that unrolls over the rock like silk. That flat stone must once have been hard, yet long water has worn away every sharp edge and turned it into a place where a person can sit and rest. Here I see that it is not force but time that is the most exacting sculptor. Softness is only another name for slow patience.
