🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"Why does a single moment of flower and bird remain so long in the heart?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This Japanese bird-and-flower painting by Koike Chikyoku carefully holds still the brief moment when flower and bird meet. The bird soon to fly and the flower soon to fall are bound together at their most vivid instant. To paint what will vanish is not to grieve transience but to bear witness that the moment was precious. There are things beautiful precisely because they do not last forever. Rather than straining to seize what will not stay, to look upon it wholly while it remains is the deeper love.
