This was the first time I tasted gelato in 4 whole years, disregarding my doctor friend's instructions. The taste of gelato was better than the looks of love and tenderness in my wife's eyes, in an exceptional moment when love and ice cream met in the arms of the Duomo di Pisa and its leaning tower.
Every “lick” reminds me that the rest of life is short, and that if we let this moment slip from our hands without appreciating its value, it will be lost forever.
Perhaps the closest thing to describing such a moment is the expression that the Japanese use when serving tea: ichigo ichie; It means that every meeting between one person and another, or an experience you live at the moment of this meeting, is a unique treasure that may not be repeated. Although the host and guests meet daily, the host must show sincerity and interest in all the ceremonies, and the guests must show their appreciation for every detail.
And how beautiful, my friend, to deal with the spirit of Ichigo ichie with all the moments in which you meet with your father, mother, partner, daughter, son, or dear friend, as these are moments that may not happen again.
