Mono no Aware

 

物の哀れ:  Mono no Aware

 A perception of the impermanence of the world and the gentle and wistful sadness that accompanies this perception when one realizes that this state is the normal state of the world.

More and more I am getting the hunch that a fuse has been lit.  I suppose that now I get to wait.  But Mono no Aware is there and actually, it kind of helps.
