A samurai wife on living in constant fighting and politicking of 16th century Japan:

   If our life is just one long attempt to flee difficulties,
    we will always be afraid to be happy now,
    fearing that our happiness will crumble.

according to Miura, Ayako. 1975, 2004 (transl.).
Lady Gracia - a samurai wife’s love, strife and faith.
Tokyo, IBC Publishing. P.325

eyes see so much - they want a break and non-events, nothing-new for the mind to digest sometimes. Low-impression, low-key chilling is a good change in this internet-driven time of vision. Sometimes we need to take a break from seeing and sensing new sights and impressions. Sink in and re-think. presence is fuller than seeing with eyes. Whoever's eyes.
