Slow Time at Guiyuan ∣ Peaceful Mind, Simple Life, Tranquil Heart.

Time flows silently The small courtyard stands quietly🍁, the years are long In the rare leisure time of winter I hold the sleeping cat🐱 on the green stone Come to the pond, sit quietly and gaze Light an incense stick, place it beside the small table The light smoke curls up into the air🌈 — Take a sip of freshly brewed tea🍵 Sprinkle some fish food Watch the fish🐠 lazily and joyfully The pine trees by the pond are deeply green and resilient The potted bamboo🎋 is fresh and upright In this small courtyard in Dali's winter Though there are no blooming spring flowers💐 There is a unique charm — The end of the year is approaching It's the time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new I look around the small courtyard again People haven't changed, the courtyard remains the same Flowers bloom and wither🌸, year after year No petal is the same, the scenery is always new Yet another year has passed🧨 The seasons have cycled once more Perhaps it is this wonderful cycle That makes us look forward to unexpected encounters And eagerly anticipate unhesitant reunions🌕 Guiyuan Inn, Dali Ancient Town
