The Book of Ichigo Ichie Héctor García & Francesc Miralles [García, Héctor & Miralles, Francesc]

When we dwell on the past or focus on the future, we never fully experience what is happening in the present. Yet every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip away, we lose it forever—an idea that the Japanese call ichigo ichie, which literally means, "What we are experiencing now will never happen in the same way again." Originating with a sixteenth-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, ichigo ichie has its roots in Zen Buddhism.
