You do not need to be busy all the time to prove your worth.
Gastrodia is an orchid; its underground tuber is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb.
It has no chlorophyll and does not photosynthesize; instead, it draws its nourishment from a symbiosis with fungi.
It reminds me of a lady who could never stop.
She filled every day with plans, afraid that if she slowed down, she would feel she was wasting time.
One day, on a hotel holiday, she had meant to fill the whole afternoon — but in the end she chose a bath, a cup of tea, and the view outside the window.
She found that resting had not made her any less important.
In fact, it was only after resting that she could feel the beauty of life again.
May your imagination run free like a heavenly horse, and may small worries never fence in your life.
This series draws on the culture of Chinese medicinal herbs, plant culture, natural imagery, and wordplay as creative inspiration for quiet companionship and self-reflection. It does not constitute Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis, medication advice, or guidance for the treatment of disease.
