폭포와 단풍나무
🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"What does the maple beside the pouring waterfall endure?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This Japanese hanging scroll by Kano Osanobu holds together a ceaselessly pouring waterfall and the maple beside it. One flows without pause, the other quietly keeps its place. The flowing and the staying form a balance on one surface. Water changes and flows without end, while the rock and the tree hold their place and complete the landscape. Change and constancy do not quarrel. The discernment to let go of what should be let go and keep what should be kept makes a life that does not waver.

— ONGO · Curator

🌱Apply It Today

Today, distinguish one thing to let flow away and one value to keep, and write each down.
