Book Recommendation | Autumn Special
The summer is not yet over, yet I feel autumn's arrival. Green leaves, and yellow flowers, muted yet resonant. The Chinese scholar tree stands at the transition of late summer to early autumn, unveiling the splendid and romantic prelude of autumn days.
Soon, the osmanthus blooms quietly in the cool air, lingering, whispering, and telling of the change of seasons.
Suddenly, the sky and ginkgo trees stand side by side in the warm sunlight. Dappled light and shadow scatter a canvas, singing the unspoken messages of the time.
Autumn, it is time to reconcile with oneself.
