Features: Viewing the clouds through the window every day has become a habit. However, the first thing to "push open" is the window of one's heart. When the heart is open, one naturally gains insight into the scenery and enjoys the beauty of the clouds. The world is bustling with activity, while the sky above is alternately overcast and clear. The winds of history change swiftly, and the sky of reality presents endless wonders. Gleaning a piece reveals the radiance of seven colors; plucking a single petal allows one to glimpse the marvel of five hues.
