Komorebi

Komorebi – Japanese for “sunlight leaking through trees”

“The luminous and shocking beauty of the everyday is something I try to remain alert to, if only as an antidote to the chronic cynicism and disenchantment that seems to surround everything, these days. It tells me that, despite how debased or corrupt we are told humanity is and how degraded the world has become, it just keeps on being beautiful. It can’t help it.”― Nick Cave, Faith, Hope and Carnage

Sunlight leaking through.
Luminous, brilliant.
To have eyes to see anew.
Curiosity to question.
Moxie to demand more.
To go deeper.
Hard-earned hope.
Warrior.
Resilience and grit.
Hope is a muscle.
Flex it daily.

“Unlike cynicism, hopefulness is hard-earned, makes demands upon us, and can often feel like the most indefensible and lonely place on Earth.
Hopefulness is not a neutral position.
It’s adversarial.
It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism.” – Nick Cave
