Remember, Yasuko, when you told me about life? When you frothed the bright green tea with a brush, and let it settle, then handed me the small bowl with two hands, bowing.   "You must feel the warmth of the cup, inhale the aroma, and taste," you'd said. "If you do not focus on these tbings and get distracted, then by the time you look down for the tea it will be gone."   She'd sat back up, facing me: "Life is like that," she'd added. "If you do not live now when will you?"   She had giggled too, after the tea. "I learnt a new word today," she said. "You are a rogue."   Her accent was soft, her voice so quiet the paper walls did not tremble. And her kimono slid easily." 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺 #story #geisha #tearoom #life #forestbathing #highland #shinrinyokustudies #entertainment #relationship #nature #health #wellbeing https://www.instagram.com/p/BvGrEc-gikz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xwz7iifve2to

A bit of mystery in a haiku, that three-line Japanese poetry (though one line in Japanese) is not a bad thing now and then - after all, a haiku belongs to the reader after it has been written, and ought to be somewhat devoid of emotion, secrets messages or intellect. It should, too, be as objective as one can let it be, though the haiku above does not qualify, of course. As Bashō said: "learn the rules, and then break them..." #haiku #forestbathing #shinrinyokustudies #poeyry #analysis #nature #welovetreesandwoods #health #beauty #love #mystery #story #hiking https://www.instagram.com/p/BusuUiGgCij/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fwcn6t4xonjd

Sometimes, every now and then, I find just the right place. Makes one understand how Buddha collected his thoughts, because without his banyan tree to lean against, where would he have been? And so, here, I found my tree for a while. And my my first thought takes me back to when I was sitting in an Ethiopian bar with an acquaintance I knew, a woman from Thailand, which made her a Buddhist, who was a prostitute: "Why can there be no peace in the world?" she had sighed. The answer is that the first step to being on the same wave is acceptance. Half the world would condemn her merely for her vocation alone, so any tiny step towards any form of peace instantly flies out of the window on that fact. Acceptance means acceptance, just that, and only that.🌷 #Thai #Ethiopia #Acceptance #Trees #Buddhism #Thought #Ideas #Friendship #Discussion #Debate #Morality #Religion #Forestbathing #Shinrinyokustudies #welovetreesandwoods #Forest_captures https://www.instagram.com/p/BunrDFpg-nt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8v9mpd0t66qe
