Peach Blossom and Dove

복사꽃과 비둘기
🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"What spring day did the dove dwelling beneath the peach blossoms hold?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This bird-and-flower painting holds a peach-blossom branch and a dove beside it. Within the soft spring light, a single bird sits in quiet. In this peaceful scene I see the worth of pausing. The dove does not fly about in haste but lingers beside the flower and takes in the spring. It is not only by ceaseless movement that something is gained. To linger a while in a good place and fully take in the moment is itself a kind of wisdom. One who knows how to pause finally tastes the beauty of a spring day that flows away.
