In autumn, the mountains are adorned with vibrant colors; in spring, every corner is filled with floral fragrance. This is not merely a description of nature, but a metaphor for life. Everything has its season, and every season has its purpose. As a wise Zen monk once wrote:
“In spring, hundreds of flowers bloom; in autumn, the moon shines bright. In summer, a cool breeze blows; in winter, snow falls white. If no idle thoughts trouble your mind, every season is a good time.”
This speaks to the power of timing and circumstance. When the moment is right, opportunities arise naturally. As a modern saying goes, “When the wind blows, even a pig can fly.” This is not a joke—it is a profound insight into the importance of timing.
Life rewards those who are sensitive to the flow of time. Seize the moment when it comes, and let go when it passes. In doing so, you will find peace in every season and beauty in every change.
