inviting quietness into the day 🍃 as i look at flights to go back to the land of matcha 🍵
there’s something sacred in this ritual — the special utensils, the gentle whisking, the foam emerging, the way time slows when we pause for matcha 🙏🏽
i spent 4 months out of the last 12 in japan. first in autumn, then spring. each return feels like coming home to a part of my soul i miss when i’m not there ⛩️ words can’t explain it.
now, sitting in the stillness of my morning at home, i feel that gentle pull again — no rush, just a sweet soft calling. that quiet knowing that some places become part of us, woven into the fabric of who we’re becoming, and that it’s soon time to go back ✨
it feels so special to be here now, assimilating. reflecting. digesting. integrating. letting all the experiences settle and become a grounded part of me. 🤎
this space in between — between leaving and returning, between what was and what’s emerging — is such a transformative part of journeys 🍃 i never used to enjoy this. i was always rushing. my 22 years as a nomad were full of quick movement, and never enough stillness.
today, i’m delighting in the gentleness of time between journeys. an acquired taste that i am so deeply in love with now ⭐️
