Hokusai says look carefully.
He says pay attention, notice.
He says keep looking, stay curious.
He says there is no end to seeing…

He says everything is alive——
Shells, buildings, people, fish
Mountains, trees. Wood is alive.
Water is alive.

Everything has its own life
Everything lives inside us.
He says live with the world inside you….

It matters that your care.
It matters that you feel.
It matters that you notice.
It matters that life lives through you…

Look, feel, let life take you by the hand.
Let life live through you.
