Snow wall

From the local news paper in my home town in Japan.
In early spring, there is a road opening through the snow walls. I've never been to the road, but it must been fascinating.

Are there still people reading blogs?

-
I remembered about my abandoned blog site while I was working on my other business website. It felt like a relief, reconnected with my freedom. I am not a big fun of social media. But I love blogs. At least, I used to. For me, blog is different from social media. Just different feeling from facebook or youtube. Blog is not about me, it's about freedom I have with my thoughts and voice.   Somehow today, I returned here.   I struggle with texts exchanges in English I feel like I am not even 10% of myself get explained in texts. But Blog, just my subjective feeling is I am here, I am expressing in the way I feel free. I don't have to worry about how people would misinterpret. I just write write and write. I don't know if there's people still read other people's blog? But why? There's enough things to read on the internet.  Enough contents, video, pics, music, etc etc.      So here's the one to my love,      I recently met a person who brought so...

雨ニモマケズ

When we were school kids, teachers made us recite some famous poems. One of those poems which still remain in my mind is " Ame ni mo makezu " by Kenji Miyazawa. I remember the poem especially when winter winds blow against me. I wish there is no lost in English translation as it is very simple and yet dynamic and powerful. I like this philosophical poem that I want to follow and I don't want to forget. There are several versions of translation for this poem, but I think the "Stand up to the rain" is more like the original. 「雨にもまけず」　　宮沢賢治　　　　　　　　　 雨にもまけず　風にもまけず 雪にも夏の暑さにもまけぬ　丈夫なからだをもち 慾はなく　決して瞋らず　いつもしずかにわらっている　　 一日に玄米四合と　味噌と少しの野菜をたべ　　 あらゆることを　じぶんをかんじょうに入れずに　　 よくみききし わかり　そして わすれず　　 野原の松の林の蔭の　小さな萱ぶきの小屋にいて　　 東に病氣のこどもあれば　　行って看病してやり　　 西につかれた母あれば　　行ってその稻の束を負い 南に死にそうな人あれば　行って こわがらなくてもいいといい 北にけんかや そしょうがあれば　つまらないから やめろといい ひでりのときは なみだをながし　さむさのなつは おろおろ あるき みんなに でくのぼうとよばれ　ほめられもせず　くにもされず そういうものに　わたしはなりたい

Power of "I can"

-
When we do things from the state of mind "I Can", instantly something inside of us changes. It gives us more perspective and ideas to make things happen. How many "I can" can I  put into my words today? How can I make it happen? How can I get what I want today? It's so great to come back to work after few months of absence. There's so much to do, for my clients and for myself. How much openings I can bring to my clients today? What's the most I can do for others today? What's the most I can do to change my life for better today? It's exciting!!
