Since my house burned down

I now have a better view

of the rising moon

– Mizuta Masahide (1657–1723) 

Amid the alarming corona reports, fake news, and yes, fear and anxiety, Masahide reminds us that beauty can be found everywhere, even in challenging times. We only need to pay attention.

So, take a break from your busyness, look around, and see the world as it were new.
