Ichi-go Ichi-e: In This Moment, An Opportunity

Today we’re pleased to present the latest film from Dan Clark and family. As always, our thanks to them for their incredible generousity and spirit. -Kid

“A 16th-century Japanese tea master originated the four-character saying, “Ichi-go ichi-e.” This can be translated as, “In this moment, there is an opportunity.” We learned about this concept when our family of four travelled to Japan to ride a 600-mile loop around the island of Hokkaido. Dreams of sushi, temples, and pavement materialized into a relaxing family vacation where we rode our bikes though beautiful country on quiet roads. We stopped regularly to eat good food and slept comfortably in our tent each night.”
