leisure

Birds chirp, vanguard for coming rain,
Dog bark skitters through twilight village.
Smoke raises a column through the pines,
Contented families dine in golden windows.

Life's pulse is gauged in the hollows, the intervals between events.  If you want to see Tao, you must discern these spaces.  This requires leisure, the chance to sit and contemplate, and the opportunity to respond to inner urgings.

If you can find a place to retreat, you can make a life where Tao will flood into you.  Out in the woods, or in the mountains, or even in small villages where the times are slow paced and the people sensitive to nature, there is the possibility of knowing the deep and the profound.  Only when you have the time to accumulate an unshakable belief and faith can you glimpse the Tao in which there is restfulness and a natural sense  of what is right.

li jin was born in 1958 China, and graduated from Tianjing Academy of Fine Arts in 1983 with B.A. degree of Chinese Painting. Now he is teaching and living in China.

I have been searching for new artwork and found this interesting contemporary art from China.  The work has a new perspective with a knowledge of the ancient art.  I do hope you enjoy it!  Visit the main site for more of this work, or to see the worlds of other contemporary Asian painters.  www.taowatergallery.com
