Komorebi 木漏れ日

The light filtering through leaves looks and feels gentle. The soft light komorebi, like the sunlight coming through the clouds, has particular kind of beauty that are moving. Same is true with ocean waves, creeks, breeze or candle lights.What is common is the subtle movements that comfort and relax us, and komorebi, is particularly beautiful because they have subtle movements caused by breeze. If it is too windy or too still, the light won't be as beautiful. Physicist Musha explains this applies to some music that universally enjoyed beyond cultural, social, religious, language differences like Mozart. "There is a commonality in our judgment of good and bad, which is why some artistic works survive. The standard, I believe, exists in biological phenomenon.” This universality is the 1/f fluctuation or pink noise, that contains subtle irregularity within the regularity, like heart beats. Subtle irregularity apparently is comforting for humans, which can be found in every part of the natural world.
