Pig × The Slow-Simmer Scholar
At deep night it leafs through a book; reading it pleasantly is enough, with no aim to read it through.
The Slow-Simmer Scholar reads by the window under the study star, Wenqu, in no hurry to get anywhere. The Pig in you reads slower still and for pure pleasure: a book at deep night, a page that goes down easy, no aim to finish it. So two unhurried natures stack here, and you become the most easygoing of all the slow learners.
You read the way some people eat a long meal, building up at your own pace, growing rounder in the mind the more you take in. There is no exam at the end and you would not study for it anyway. A subject catches you, you follow it as far as it stays interesting, and you let it go when a new one wanders past. The Last Quarter through a windowpane is soft, late light, and your learning has that quality, warm and without deadline.
The catch is the scatter. Too content and too passive, your reading spreads thin across a dozen half-followed threads, short on the drive to dig any one of them to the bottom. The Still Stream meanders and pools and never cuts a channel. You know a little of everything and the bottom of nothing. When a subject is worth real depth, set it a finish line, because the pleasure alone keeps you circling the shallows forever.
