A fair wind home

庭前葉落暮秋時
行客奔程勢若飛
謝得天公輕着力
順風相送寶船歸
Leaves fall in the courtyard at the end of autumn,
The traveler hurries on as if in flight.
Give thanks that heaven adds a gentle push:
A following wind brings the treasure ship home.
What this lot says
Late autumn and a hurried traveler set a scene of pressure, with the season closing and the road still long. Then a light wind does what effort could not, and the ship comes home loaded.
The verse notes how small the help is. Heaven pushes lightly. The traveler has already done the hard miles, and gratitude belongs in the picture.
If a deadline is close on a long piece of work, keep moving and accept the help that turns up, whether that is a small extension or a friend's introduction. Say thank you when it lands.
A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
The story behind it
The wind carries Wang Bo to Prince Teng's Pavilion (風送滕王閣)
The Tang poet Wang Bo wrote his preface on Prince Teng's Pavilion during a trip to find his father, and it remains one of his best known works. The wind in this title belongs to legend, and it suits a verse about a fair breeze at the right moment.
