I viewed the series Romance Is A Bonus Book at Netflix  a while back and here are some quotes i searched for today to share with this post:

 “Two people who have spend a long time together do not need words to express their feelings.” (Ep. 2)

 “We are like books. We wait for someone to find us and open us to see what’s inside.” (Ep. 4)

. “Some relationships are like gifts.” (Ep. 5)

 “We are trees that branch out in solitude and bear fruits. We are beautiful trees with growth rings of our lives.” (Ep. 7)

 “Some undesirable time are meant to be forged. The sometimes become a key to a secret.” (Ep. 7)


 “Sharing a moment  with someone is precious because it can lead to other possibilities.” (Ep. 9)

 “A book that inspired others may not always inspire you, so find a book that does.” (Ep. 9)

Lisa introduces  us to Japanese micro seasons at  Japanese concept of kō. They are normally a part of a major season and should have some significance, with their own food (or fish) and specific matters happening in nature.Our challenge,  to create our own major season and then a micro-season, or kō within it using the format above.  Create one based on the season you find yourself in. If possible include images, artwork, drawings, photos, etc. from your community to help bring it into three dimensions.ORCreate a major and minor one within it based on a season you wish you were in. Likewise, try to find images that bring your “wishful season” into focus.  This season may also be fictional.
