"The pursuit of happiness is no small feat; many chase this often fleeting feeling outside of themselves, trying over and over to feel that high when briefly captured. Looking on the inside is something far fewer wish to do, even though it may offer a much more lasting feeling of such a state. Either way one pursues it, the frustrating truth is that it does not last! Eventually one may come across the lesson that a far more sustainable version of happiness exists in the form of contentment, finding pleasure in what's around you at any given moment. When you reach the point of life where simply sitting in the warm sun and living in the present makes you feel just right, the glow of inner warmth will radiate all around you."

A very nice piece of my kitsune done by  Naste16! I enjoy how calm and peaceful he looks here. Sometimes I think he may need a bit of a fluff-cut around his neck, heh. Some pieces will have more traditional wear in it, but conceptually I do want to eventually push his more... modern aspects, when I think of a good way to do so. He's not a kitsune just to follow some form of tradition, but also to become wise in a modern world and the way in which everything is evolving.
