Wonder of Life

On Niushou Mountain, he bid the night, waiting for the world to rise from its slumber. With the arrival of dawn, vibrant colors gradually took over the pale darkness of the night, like an endlessly recurring spell.

In perfect stillness, he could almost hear the sound of each and every lotus bud in the pond blossoming, one after another…
At that very moment, he uttered in awe, “It’s like seeing into the mystery of life.”

What is life?
It’s the veins of a lotus leaf.
It’s the touch-and-go of a dragonfly.
It’s a faint fragrance dissipating in the air.
It’s ripples disappearing into the water…
In the lotus pond at dawn, life…lies within every little wonder & mystery of nature.
