I love that agony and joy are in the same line of your haiku. That is learning. The brain doesn't change unless you give it a little agony for motivation. Can't wait to see the finished work!
Somehow reading about your journey makes me just want to slow down and go smell the roses. Such a beautiful reminder of the transformation that can come with immersing ourselves in new learning experiences.
“Process is the only thing we can control”… you hold so much wisdom in you and I just love reading everything you write. And although is a challenge (which I know you like 🤓), I think you should go with “Kachō Fūgetsu”, it goes so well with you as a person and artist… reminded me of ‘seek joy in every season’ 💙🩷
Not sure you wanted an opinion but I wouldn't use kintsugi. It's such a beautiful idea but everyone is repeating it all over the place, often accompanied by Leonard Cohen's crack where the light gets in. Beautiful ideas, wrecked by social media...
Omg yes. This is probably why I never learned a language properly (including Japanese)... flicking ahead in the whole Tibetan grammar before I even understood the difference between the two different forms of 'to be' (one shows direct experience, the other hearsay...). Or my recent attempt to eat the while of the British Museum in one sitting.
Oh I love the difference between direct experience and others... I tried learning multiple languages but what I think is more important to me over fluency is curiousity, and so I keep chasing more rabbit holes 😊
How could I forget about Komorebi!!
Komorebi (木漏れ日) is the sunlight escaping through leaves as they filter through the forest. It's a perfect word for my walks in nature...
This is me too - practicing 10,000 different kicks once.
Maybe we can both learn to stick with some of those kicks for a little longer, and be surprised by the result!!!
And then obviously go try out other kicks again!

Aww thank you so much 💗 I think you're right I do love a challenge and Kachō Fūgetsu aligns perfectly with joy and seasons

You're right! There are so many more beautiful and unique words. I'm going to think some more :)
