1150. “otsukimi”….moon gazing


pausing to rest
by the old evergreen
the silent moon
*
i hear the streams….
my favorite Christmas song
silent night

 


Tsuki ga kirei desu ne — translates to: “The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?”  The Japanese culture, known for its more polite and humble way of communication, uses this phrase, “The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?” as a subtle and poetic way of saying, “I love you.”
