Gentleness

Chinese calligraphy: Gentleness 柔 - Like the spring gentle rain, morning gentle breeze, young lovers first kiss. Gentle, but cannot be forgotten; gentle but strong; gentle but last forever.

Like the empty paper space invites you to paint the fist dot, the first stroke - it is so gentle and soft, but it is calling you, come here, leave a mark, be yourself.

So be it.

Sumi ink on paper. The size is 8.5 by 11 inches. The seals are "walking in the sky" on the right; and an image of a bird on the left.
