The Calligrapher's Words
Flowers bloom without any calculating intention to “attract butterflies,” and butterflies are drawn to the flowers simply, without any ulterior motive or calculation to “sip the nectar.” No scheming (calculation or attachment) exists between them; they live according to the laws of nature.
I expressed this way of life, which follows nature, taking care not to make it seem too contrived.
*The wooden support used to hang on the wall is not included.
