Ichi-go ichi-e

today's thought !!!

i ran into one Japanese concept that best describes what i used to believe for a long time ... the uniqueness of every temporal moment, every meeting, every ray of light, every action one does.
and once you loose that special moment it may never come back again ...



i introduced below the exact explanations and cultural references of the term ...

Ichi-go ichi-e (literally "one time one meeting") is a Japanese term that describes a cultural concept often linked with famed tea masters. The term is often translated as "for this time only", "never again", or "one chance in a lifetime".
