...Only the night walking away
Only the blood dried from perfection...
Only the hand without any roots
Only the fitted groundless thought
Only the Red Flowing River knows

I created this "postcard" using the writing of the Chinese poet Tao Yaunming (365-427) as translated by John Minford in his (2018) Tao te Ching. The painting of the poet by Chen Hongshou is in the public domain (via Wiki Commons).
