A Mountain Stream
a painting
In this painting, the mountains embrace one another, and the clouds float gracefully through the valley producing a scene of peace and quietude. This serenity is broken by the roar of the waterfall in the background. The mood of this painting depicts the traditional belief of the Chinese people in the presence of both the “Yin” and the “Yang” in everything; in darkness there is some light, in bad there is some good, and, as with this painting, in silence there is some sound.
