Dear all crews

For the time being, in preparation for its publication,

I want to focus on the writing of my book,

so I will be taking a break from this blog.

When commencing on this voyage, I will again call out to you.

Together let's go on an adventure!

Thank you for being with me so far.

I'm not perfect.

Maybe I sometimes say the wrong thing.

But I write the true stories that I learn from my everyday experience.

And I'd like to organize them step by step.

I'd like to continue this until I can see what the most important thing is.

These words are a precious treasure to me.

And my readers and my loved ones are irreplaceable gifts for me.

I deeply appreciate this from the bottom of my heart.

A Life Pursuit

When I thought I reached the end of the well-tread path
Time was already past that when I had turned my back on a road of my own.

修行

進むべき道が完結したと思ったときは

すでに自分が己の道に背を向けてしまっている時である。

146.love yourself first 12/11

12/11/11

love yourself first

Only after being able to love yourself first
can you then love someone else.
Another person is not a tool for loving yourself.

love yourself first

まず自分で自分を愛する事が出来てから

はじめて人を愛する事が出来る。

人は自分を愛するための道具ではない。

145. Starting from praise for oneself 12/10

Starting from praise for oneself.

まず自分で自分を褒めることから。

144. Love 12/9

12/9/11

Love

Love is not narcissism.
It is not seeing oneself in another,
it is the act of understanding a lover.

恋愛

恋愛は、自己愛ではない。

相手を通して自分を見るのではなく、

相手を理解する行為である。

143. Que Sera Sera 12/8

Que Sera Sera

When I was just a little girl

I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

142. All the things you are 12/7

All the things you are

Time and again I've longed for adventure,
Something to make my heart beat the faster.
What did I long for? I never really knew.
Finding your love I've found my adventure,
Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster,
All that I want in all of this world is you.

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long.
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.

You are the angel glow that lights a star,
The dearest things I know are what you are.
Some day my happy arms will hold you,
And some day I'll know that moment divine,
When all the things you are, are mine!
