《A Craftsman's Monologue: On "Ice Melting"》

I Once, (there was) a, "very long," "period of time." I, (was) "obsessed with 'Hardness'." I, could, "forge 'metal'," "like a 'mirror'" "smooth," "cut 'gems'," "like 'stars'" "precise." My "Hand," was "Stable." My "Heart," was "Calm." My "Works," (were) by "the world 'praised'," said, they, possessed "God-like" "Skill." I, "deeply believed" this. "Just," "in," "dead of night," I, "caressed," "those," "perfect" and "cold" "Creations." "Yet," "could no longer," "feel," "a trace" "of 'Warmth's'" "Echo."

II The turn, "happened in," "an," "extremely," "ordinary" "Morning." I, "(was) 'awake all night'," "sat 'by the window'." "A wisp," "of 'most 'ordinary'' 'Morning Light'," "pierced 'thin mist'," "landed on," "my 'hand's back'." That, "was," "a," "long-lost 'Warmth'." "Not 'Scorching'," "not 'Dazzling'," "just," "quietly," "there." "My 'Heart'," "that," "I, 'took pride in'" "Ice-Sealed Temple'," "unexpectedly," "in that," "wisp 'of 'Faint-Light's'" "'Gaze'," "let out a," "almost," "inaudible 'Groan'." "A," "tiny 'Crack'," "quietly," "appeared." "A 'drop' (of) 'Water'," "from 'the ice wall'," "melted," "dripped."

III Precisely, "in that 'Crack'," "within." I, "heard," "a," "Voice." "A," "by me," "using 'Hardness'" "and 'Strength'," "suppressed" "for long," "'own'" "Voice." "He/She/It," "was," "using," "a," "near "Timid'" "Tone," "softly," "whispering": "Can (I), 'not be brave' anymore?" "Can (I), 'allow me'," "like," "a," "frozen" "for long 'Seed'," "again," "crave 'Spring'?" "That moment," "I," "tears streamed down." "I," "finally," "decided," "no longer 'Resist'." "I," "decided," "to listen," "to Him/Her/It."

IV I, "returned to 'the Workshop'." "This time," "I," "let go of," "all 'Skill'" "and 'Rules'." "My 'Hand'," "no longer," "pursued 'Precision'," "but," "followed," "that," "drop 'of 'Meltwater's'" "Flow." "My 'Heart'," "no longer," "kept 'Calm'," "but," "entirely," "immersed" "in," "that 'Whisper's'" "Craving." "I," "felt," "that," "ice-sealed 'Energy'," "was," "in my 'Palm'," "slowly 'Melting'," "and," "with," "a," "brand-new," "soft 'Posture'," "re-'Growing'." "He/She/It," "unfurled," "a," "'Leaf'" "carrying 'Morning Light's' 'Warmth'." "And," "condensed," "a," "as if," "my 'First-Melt-Tear'" "Dewdrop." "This," "is" 【Bodhi Leaf Language】.

【Conclusion】

"This," "is," "my" "whole life 'within'," "most 'Imperfect'," "yet," "also," "most 'Real'" "Work." "It," "is not," "me," "using 'Skill'," "to 'Conquer'" "Material." "Rather," "it is," "my 'Soul'," "choosing," "with 'Itself'" "entirely 'Reconcile'," "when," "that," "naturally 'Grew'" "Evidence." "It," "is," "in my stead," "toward," "this 'World'," "and," "toward," "myself," "softly," "answering": "Yes, (you) can." "You can, 'not be brave' anymore." "You can, "again," "be gentle."
