[JOTO Teapot Recommendation] The Power of Being There: To Be Moved—and to Move Others

A world at your fingertips, and a body that’s missing from the frame. In our era, landscapes have been folded into glowing rectangles—swipe, tap, save, repeat—everything seems within reach. The white of waterfalls, the blue of mountain peaks, the silver shimmer of lakes—all stream endlessly toward our screens through algorithms. Yet our bodies are often absent.

One day you suddenly realize: you’ve seen countless breathtaking photos, yet haven’t stood in the wind for more than a few minutes; you’ve heard endless live recordings, yet forgotten the vibration of bass against your chest. Technology makes it easier to see, but harder to be present. And being moved—truly moved—requires presence.

A waterfall on a screen is just pixels; you beside the waterfall are the witness. When you stand beneath the cascading water, the mist settles on your skin like fine salt, your ears fill with thunder, your shoes are splashed, and time itself seems to thin out. None of that exists in resolution or bit rate.

It’s the same with mountains: photos show outlines, but at the foot of the mountain there’s thin air, the scent of pine resin, and the temperature shift as the wind circles from the north slope to the south. And lakes—seen from afar they’re mirrors, but up close you notice ripples stirred by the breeze, clouds gliding across, and waterbirds tracing lines that vanish and reappear.

This sense of scale humbles us—it reminds us how much wider our hearts can still open.

It isn’t only nature that holds this irreplaceable density—people do, too.
You may have scrolled through hundreds of concert clips, but when the chorus surges from all directions, when the singer stops to let the crowd finish the last line, you realize: in a video, a song is something you hear; in person, it’s something you’re sung into.

Step into an exhibition, a theater, a neighborhood street festival—or simply sit down for tea with someone you’ve missed. The pauses in conversation, the flicker in their eyes, the tiny crack at the end of a laugh—these delicate imperfections are what make life real. Beautiful things, and beautiful people, must share the same air for warmth to travel through.

We are not flat receivers of information—we are three-dimensional beings of sensation. Beyond sight and sound, smellquietly tags memories: the musk of wet soil, the sweetness of pine, the clarity of sea salt. Touch anchors emotions: the sharpness of gravel, the slickness of moss, the dryness of paper. Even taste joins in—a bowl of hot soup shortens a cold night; a mildly bitter coffee gathers your scattered thoughts.

A video can replicate sights and sounds, but not the chill in the air or the tremor that travels from the ground into your ankles. Only when we offer our whole body does experience shift from “I saw it” to “I lived it.”

If you can, give yourself the gift of presence: For a place: Step outside for a scene—not one from a trending list, but one that calls to your curiosity. Maybe it’s a nearby trail, a wetland at the edge of the city, a childhood stream. When you arrive, put your camera down for two minutes. Let your eyes and breath record instead. For a person: Go to a live performance you truly want to hear, or a dinner you genuinely want to share. Replace “Take care” with “I’m here.”

For a book: Don’t just finish it—find a quiet corner where the book and the space around you can seep into each other: pages turn in the breeze, light shifts across the paper, a faint clink of cups nearby. For yourself: When you return home, write a short note about the experience—not for style, just for sensation: “The wind tasted like salt.” “The lake shone like tin.” “The drum echoed like my heartbeat.” Those textures and scents will anchor memory in your life.

Images can share a scene; presence can share a heartbeat.
When we walk into landscapes, step into crowds, and sink into the depths of books, the world stops being just a window—it becomes a door. We stop being mere spectators—we become participants.

Go once, and you’ll see: a video captures less than one ten-thousandth of the real thing. Be there once, and you’ll understand: beauty isn’t something to be understood—it’s something to be felt with the body.

May you often step outside—let your feet do the thinking, let your skin do the remembering.
And may you often return—bringing back the warmth, light, and scent of those moments, becoming a small comfort in someone else’s day.

Because only those who have been moved have the power to move others.
And that power begins the moment you take that first step—toward presence.
