There is a phrase in Japanese: Ichigo Ichie.

Ichigo Ichie means that no encounter or interaction in life is ever repeated twice. Every moment of life is a new moment that contains a new encounter.

When we recognize this, we can become deeply moved and touched by the preciousness of every moment and each encounter.

A profound sense of appreciation and gratitude can arise.

Thus, through the recognition of Ichigo Ichie, we can live our life in appreciation and gratitude, which is a life of blessing and grace.
