What do we celebrate today?

物の哀れ.

mono no aware

It describes a gentle, bittersweet awareness that everything is temporary: people, relationships, youth, seasons, beautiful moments.

Precisely because they will not last forever, we experience them more deeply and value them more.

It is not simply sadness; it is the mixture of sadness, tenderness and appreciation created by impermanence.

What do you celebrate today?

A classic example is the Japanese appreciation of cherry blossoms. They are especially beautiful not despite their brief life, but partly because they bloom and disappear so quickly.

I celebrated today, you..

This I ate.. in my car, alone but together.

I celebrated today with this small mini cake to be here,

to have a chance to create and enjoy all together.

Our last Patreon is Jim.

..came like one hour ago I guess.. maybe a bit earlier, maybe a bit sooner..

I wish I know him personally.. I wish we could have a chance to speak, talk together, maybe even all together, in a place, drink a few .. I don´t know coffee, tea, water, whatever..

.. and talk about things..

I´m sure you have lots of things to tell..

I´m sure we have lots of things we don´t know about each other and or tell, share and may enjoy..

I wish I knew you, Jim.

I wish I knew you all.

Thank you for all,

once more

from my heart.

Your Leon
