"Sometimes, if you slow down, you can see beauty in the world around you."
Well put. And you know it's funny people are have gotten so conditioned to the Amazon experience that it bled into all aspects of life. My friend told me a funny story about the place we would get breakfast at in Ireland. He comes in, and the girls at the counter are chatting about something, the owner comes out and has a chat with him, they catch up and he mentions yeah I'm getting some breakfast. The funny part is the owner say oh wait a few minutes the girls are having a chat. Completely different lifestyle. I enjoyed my time there, should probably go visit next year.
I love me a Irish breakfast and the best fish and chips any day, but ... I also miss Abrakebabra and Teo's lol
Komorebi. To define in my own words, it is the way light filters through trees.
I learned about komorebi in a Thomas Flight video in the context of film (video essayist). He brings it about when discussing a film titled "Perfect Days", and rather than butcher explaining it, I will recommend to watch. He explains the context and value much better than I could.

There can be good in the world if you slow down and look. Thats really it. But of course, its because everyone is stressed and working to the bone, the american culture... it makes it more difficult to practice.. being still. To be still, long enough to enjoy small moments like youve desscribed.
One day I took a lunch, looked up and enjoyed the blossom season begin.
And I really liked this spot, as you can see others enjoying it as well. Sometimes I would sit there and enjoy the sound of water and watch the birds. And well other times I would enjoy lunch and a beer or sake. I would say it helped change the way I see things in life.
