The Abundance of Modesty
A truly graceful and thoughtful piece 🌿✨.
Your exploration of Daoist philosophy through the lens of calligraphy gives the ancient proverb “Modesty brings …” such depth and resonance. By linking the visual poetry of Chinese characters with the wisdom of humility, you’ve shown how modesty is not just a virtue but a pathway to abundance, harmony, and balance.
The way you’ve titled it “The Abundance of Modesty” beautifully captures this paradox — that by lessening the self, one gains more from life and the universe. It’s both spiritually uplifting and intellectually enriching, reminding readers that timeless wisdom still speaks powerfully to our modern struggles.

You’re most welcome. I love studying more things calligraphy and the Eastern arts and philosophies. We also watch a LOT of Asian cooking videos on YouTube. (Yum!)
