From Japan, with Love: Dewy Flora

Entry #011:

2021 September 7

Today is the new moon. The beginning. An opportunity to change where you are standing and look at the same picture but from a different perspective. Recently, I’ve taken the habit of rising at around 5am with the sun and taking an extremely leisurely walk. It’s the same neighborhood, with the same buildings as always, but at 5am they all look different somehow. The lines of the tiled facades on the homes are somehow clearer, the newspaper delivery motorcycles are louder, there are more dragonflies, and the air feels more empathetic as I breathe it in. While we enter mid-Autumn here in Japan, I am beginning to let go of the relics of Summer, the tomatoes, zucchinis, and cucumbers, for next season’s “delicious” pears, sweet potato, and mushrooms too. I’m loving this new line-up of friends in my kitchen.

Autumn > White Dew > Dewy Flora

From one angle, the days may seem similar, nearly the same, even. But from another angle, the entire landscape is glistening. How can  you shift your perspective?
