Brush strokes, flow and energy. Getting drunk with Mi Fu. Layers of meaning. I am watching from the other side.




Imagine, at the beginning of the third moon, poets and friends meet at the orchid pavilion. surrounded by mountains, trees and clear streams chatter.
​
Cups of wine float gently down the stream. we see a thousand things. when a cup stops in front of you, you either compose a poem or drink.
stories flow. Is there anything better than sharing stories with great friends?​
Wang Xizhi’s (303-361) “Preface to the Orchid Pavilion, LanTingJi”.
