May the aamukaste cleanse your spirit and contribute to your wabi-sabi. And if this afternoon you catch a raxeira as the sun proceeds along its way, that you are warmed by thoughts of gezelligheid…Whew – if you think that was easy, think again.
I aim for wabi-sabi, but when I can’t achieve it, I comfort myself with gezilligheid. Last week I was a little down so I invited my entire family to arrive at dawn to see the aamukaste sparkling on the grass as we looked through the sliding glass door. My young nephew was more interested in the raxeira and he cried when people shifted their position and made it disappear. Then his parents scolded him. So much for a gezilligheid that morning!
I wish I could use these words in my conversation with someone on daily basis without explaining the meaning of these words to them. I & one of my friend once happen to invent a word “Sowa” and I define it as per our relaionship (:
Synchronisity. I’m reading a book by Swedish author Agneta Nyholm Wingvist “Wabi Sabi: Timeless Wisdom for a Stress-Free Life.” Things we know and have forgotten.

Could not have expressed these things better myself. In fact could not have expressed these things in words at all. Read and enjoy…………
I’m keeping ALL of these words away from my young son. He would take them and go with them…and I have enough trouble communicating with him as it is. But, anyway, may you be immersed within gezelligheid this weekend my friend. 🙂
