There is a phrase which is associated  with the Japanese tea ceremony  –  Ichigo ichie  – which means something like “one time, one encounter.” . It is a nice motto to take for today. It reminds us to treasure every moment, because each moment and each  meeting will happen only once and never recur again. So whether having a simple cup of tea or coffee, or meeting someone we know well, or going a familiar way,  let us try to keep the phrase in mind. We will not pass this way again.
