I love words, their origins and meanings. Ichi go Ichi e is a Japanese Zen Buddhist proverb which literally means "one time, one meeting." However, the most beautiful translation I've seen is "Treasure every encounter, for it will never recur." How lovely an expression! We do not know what life will bring us, what people may flow in and out of our lives, or where our path takes us; but the idea to approach each moment as an opportunity to see the beauty in a person, place or time is delightful. Talk about being present and in the moment with good intentions 🥰
