ancient Chinese pictograph: upper pictograph:
three birds on a tree -- rain from the sky
branches going up, roots down. lower pictograph:
a flower -- branch or stem (middle line)
with leaves or flower-petals (both sides)
curvy bottom line is “breath” moving through
an obstacle (long horizontal line) which
suggests that flowers are nurtured by some
kind of ‘organic breath.’
