Journey (Sōsho)

Japanese kanji character 旅 which embodies this spirit of non-attachment—accepting that everything is transient and finding peace in the constant flow of change. The true meaning of a journey lies in being entirely present for every single step. The 17th-century haiku master Matsuo Bashō famously began his travelogue The Narrow Road to the Deep North by stating, "The months and days are the travelers of eternity. The years that come and go are also voyagers." In this view, life itself is a continuous state of travel.
