Swan and Book embroidery | Disce gaudere

白鳥の本の刺繍

About this embroidery design

The message “Disce gaudere” embroidered on the title of the book means “learn to enjoy” in Latin.
It is a passage from a book by Seneca, an ancient Roman philosopher, politician, and poet.
Before this theory, there is a sentence that means “A person who knows what makes him happy when he is doing, and who does not entrust his happiness to others, can be said to have reached the top.” .

What do you think makes you truly happy, and when do you feel happy?
Whether you can fully understand yourself and act, it can be difficult due to daily busyness.

My answer to the question, “What am I doing that makes me happy?”
“When you are immersed alone (embroidery, video editing, writing sentences to organize your feelings, reading books to gain new knowledge, etc.)” “When creating something together with others”

Life is like a book, packed with various memories and experiences to become a single story.
The embroidery expresses the message of writing down the pages of a book about your life.

I also write about the message “Learning to enjoy” in this embroidery design on my embroidery blog.
