Precious Moments

I wrote a wording as the description of my Podcast channel: I respect small events called “slices of life” in daily life. Our joy, sadness, anger, anxiety and happiness, all of them are precious moments. I didn't understand the meaning of it at all, though I think I have practiced it in my daily life.

Precious moments...I suddenly understood when I watched a music video on YouTube. The song was titled "Flashed Junk Mind" by Milky Chance which is a rock band from Germany. I was watching it before I went to sleep. The MV is like a road movie and they are walking around, swimming, driving with and laughing a lot every moment. I felt very beautiful while watching those scenes and couldn't stop crying. I knew that their faces filled with happiness sparkling in sunshine is the precious moment which I've looked for a long time.

After this experience, I feel like to understand "Nikon(而今)"* which is the word from Zen clearly more. Now I have felt pleasure in every moment. It's all around.      

By the way, I have been attracted to this kind of road-movie-like MV since I was a little child. For example, Kylie by Mr. Mister, Running by No doubt, Lisztomania by phoenix, Wishing well by blink182, etc...Of course, those songs are great without video but the atmosphere in the video stimulates the emotions inside of me. I may have already known about the fact which I'm writing in this story since childhood.

*This word shows that life only exists at this moment. To live to the fullest is the best way to live.
