What a nice and evocative rendition on what I would deem "The Seasons of Life". I think we should all have a garden or a physical place like that to watch those seasons go by. It first made me think of Fassbinder's The Merchant of Four Seasons, have you watched it? Probably his most straightforward sensitive movie, and my second favorite of his. Also, inevitably, of Ozu and Japanese people attention and attachment to seasons.
I recently talked to my Zen monk friend from Japan, who is very shaken by the effects of a devastating earthquake that just happened in the prefecture next his (Noto), and he was telling me how in his temple studies, the teacher said "Humans love creation and hate destruction. But without destruction, there is no creation". Loved that insight, so simple yet powerful. "Very Buddhist!", he also said haha.
And, this edition felt like such a... mature? delivery. I thought like, why doesn't she have like 1 million subscribers already? Loved all the angles and formats and news you shared, very orderly, informative and nice to look at :) Always happy to see Sunday Candy pop in my inbox!
I'm loving how the "eye candy" aspect of Sunday Candy draws me in. I like the way you're leaning more and more into the visual side of your publication.
I love the people - watching doodles. What a fun way to pass the time
