New Hobbies
Japanese Zen rock gardens
A lot has happened this year and it’s been pretty rough going. My friend told me that I needed a new hobby., so this is me trying karesansu (枯山水) Japanese dry rock gardens. I got a small desktop kit from amazon and I can say with pride that I’m enjoying making a different garden each morning and taking a photo. I enjoy looking over at my zen garden throughout the day as it gives me energy and peace at the same time.
Today I turn 30 and two of my best friends were on a video call at midnight with me. The same friend who said I needed a hobby asked what I want to accomplish this year at 30 years old. I’m not sure, I struggle with knowing what I want and what’s possible in life right now. The future is clouded and difficult to anticipate but but at least there’s a new calmness to the next day.
