The Japanese have a saying, “Ichigo, Ichie.”  Every encounter in life is a unique event.  You cannot re-create the moment because conditions inevitably change within and around one after the experience.  So, appreciate and treasure it.

Yesterday morning [March 31] was overcast with intermittent drizzle.  Although most of us would prefer sunny days, beauty can be found on such days.
