Song Xiaoxian

Slight Breeze

a slight breeze can make for
a bigger potato crop

a slight breeze can make for
prettier flowers

a slight breeze can make for
more open-minded human beings

a slight breeze can make for
clear-sighted government

provided, of course, that the corridors of power
are opened up to slight breezes

SLIGHT BREEZE

Close

are opened up to slight breezes

Slight Breeze

a slight breeze can make for

a slight breeze can make for
more open-minded human beings

a slight breeze can make for
clear-sighted government

provided, of course, that the corridors of power
are opened up to slight breezes
