“So the Japanese word ‘aware’ is that touch of regret, of nostalgia, of-you know that poem which speaks of the feeling of a banquet hall, deserted? Here it is: there’s been a great banquet, you know, and all the guests have gone home, and there are empty glasses and dirty plates and crushed napkins and all sorts of things all over, and somehow the echo of voices and merriment is still there. And so this mood, ‘aware’, comes up.” ~~ Alan Watts
