What is Ikigai?

Ikigai, a word that asks us why,
A reason to live beneath the sky;
A purpose that lifts our spirits high,
A truth to chase, a dream to try.

From iki’s life and gai’s supply,
A benefit that makes hearts sigh;
A joy that helps our fears untie,
A meaning deep that will survive.

Michiko spoke of days that fly,
When passion gives fulfillment’s cry;
Moments of flow where we comply,

To live for more than just get by,
To find our call before we say goodbye.

Whys Woman,
Ikigai
