The taste of clear sand

"The Taste of Sand" is a 2015 work directed by Naomi Kawase.

This is a typical Japanese movie about food and life.

The rhythm is slow, the picture is beautiful, the story is fresh, and the theme is healing.

The taste of clear sand is also the taste of life, the taste of life, just stay in the moment and savor it carefully.

The crescent moon that reaches the treetops, the sunlight passing through the dense forest, the melodious and crisp birdsong, the fallen leaves at dusk, and the sweet and glutinous red bean filling are all delicious.

The light taste is slightly sweet, and the strong taste is sweet.

I really like the way of burial in the nursing home in the movie, every time a person dies, a tree is planted.

Born in nature, we should return to nature. Just like everything in nature, it should grow naturally.

Rooted in the ground underfoot, it absorbs the wind and rain from the outside world.

Every tree has the potential to suffer unforeseen damage. But as long as it is alive, it will not stop growing. They will always be born to the sun.

People, too, will always encounter all kinds of difficulties, like Mrs. Dejiang in the movie, and those who are marginalized.

Although they did not become great people, they still lived so hard.

Work hard to feel the world, listen to the world; work hard to warm others, work hard to treat all things kindly.

From Mrs. Dejiang, I saw a kind of wisdom and relief. Although she suffered misfortune and was hurt by the world, she was still willing to release the greatest kindness and grow into a big tree that shelters others from wind and rain.

I think it is because of their existence that the world will become a little warmer.

On the other hand, with such a warm person, how could the world not be worth it?
