More in My Little Garden

Yesterday, I updated a video about the latest progress in my balcony garden.

While creating that video, a deeper thought struck me.

As I was tending to the flowers and berries, I realized there is something transcending the plants themselves that has entered my life.

There is a Chinese concept called "Tian Ren He Yi" (天人合一), which means the harmony between heaven and humanity.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm practicing a modern, micro-version of this philosophy in my small garden.

It allows me to perceive the cycle of the four seasons: birth in spring, growth in summer, harvest in autumn, and storage in winter.

These changes are subtle day by day, but when viewed over a longer period, they become quite profound.

Another concept is "Ge Wu Zhi Zhi" (格物致知)—investigating things to extend knowledge.

The process of waiting for blooms and fruit teaches me the virtue of patience.

It forces me to respect the immutable laws of life and understand that "haste makes waste."

It also reminds me that if I want a good result, I must put in the work.

There’s still more on my mind, but I have to go—maybe I’ll share it next time.

As usual, if you find any mistakes, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

It helps me reconnect with nature right here in this concrete jungle.
