I truly appreciate the Japanese sensitivity to creating words for every specific situation. This desire to name even the smallest nuances of emotions and nature reflects, perhaps, a deep awareness of the essence of life. One term I particularly love is mono no aware.

The quiet streets at the end of summer, the falling leaves, and the fading light... All of these remind me of the fleeting things in the world. I see them, hear them, and experience them, yet at the same time, I feel in my heart the essence of these things and their inevitable passage.

A curious mind, living with a passion for learning and discovery
