『仙台おもてなし花壇』

休日の早朝。

人通りのない、少し寂し気な定禅寺通りを抜けて、近くの公園へ。 爽やかな光に溢れた定禅寺通りには、静かな時間が流れています。

『仙台おもてなし花壇』の看板が添えられた、丁寧に手入れをされた小さな花壇には、可愛らしいお花たちがにこやかに肩を並べていました。こんな、街のささやかな心遣いが嬉しかったりします。

いつの日か、このおもてなし花壇が、訪れた人たちを笑顔にできる時がくるといいなあ。

『Hospitality flowerbed of Sendai City』

Early morning of the holiday. I go through Jozenji street to the nearby park. The Jozenji street is filled with fresh light and quiet time flows. I find a small flower garden with a 『Hospitality flowerbed of Sendai City』 sign. The flowerbed was carefully cared for, and adorable flowers stood side by side smiling. I am happy with the small consideration of the town. One day, I hope that this small 『Hospitality flowerbed』 will make visitors smile.

『春の声』

夜明け前の広瀬川に霜が降りていました。 日が高くなると霜が溶け出し、キラキラと朝露へと姿を変えていきます。 朝晩はまだ寒さの残るこの時期ですが、広い緑の片隅で、つくしさんに出会いました。 紫の花に包まれるように、ひっそりと顔を出すつくしさん。

「梅や桜だけが春じゃないよ」

そう言いわれているような気がして、たくさん写真を撮りました♪ 川沿いの小さな春の声が、優しく耳元をかすめていきます。

落ち着かない日々が続きますが、ささやかな喜びを大事にしていきたいです。

『Voices of spring』

There was frost in Hirose River, before dawn. When the sun rises, the frost starts to melt, and the shape changes to sparkling morning dew. The morning and evening are still cold, but I met horsetail in this green corner. The horsetail is wrapped in purple flowers and blooms quietly. "Plums and cherry blossoms are not the only spring." I felt as if horsetail was saying so. The little spring voice along the river gently grazed my ears.

~ Someone from Finland, over a Zoom call, said something that helps me change my life. . A conversation with a friend, on his terrace, can stay with me and help me embrace all that sparks joy. . A spring playlist appearing as a suggestion from YouTube turns out to be exactly what my heart needs to feel warm and hopeful. . If this isn't magic, I don't know what is. . Those inner, persistent nudges that illogically, consistently, lead to a spring of joy, each time listened to. . My body talking to me about how it feels, what it needs, how I can I provide for it. . A spontaneous text conversation at 4 pm on what scares me turns into a safe space for not just me, but for another one too. . If these aren't miracles, I don't know what are. . Remembering someone who has never left my heart despite more than a decade of not meeting each other. . If this isn't love, I don't know what is. . . ~ notes from everyday ~ . . P.S: A beautiful boat ride. 🌼

~ New journal cover + ‘Love Soul’ is the direct English translation of ‘sarang yeonghon’ ~❤🌼

Do you like stickers on your journal cover? For some reason, I love looking at them when I pick up mine to journal.🌼

~ Often, I say things because it gets me to belong in a circle of people I like. Often, those things are quite contrary to my own truths, to my values.  . Saying what you really want to say isn’t about being loud, but speaking clearly of what aligns with you.  . For. e.g. “Hey, I know it’s cool to talk dirty with your friends, but I do not like to. For me, sex is sacred and I don’t want to condition my mind to downplay it.” 

Or, “Hey, I know gossiping is fun, but it riles up a lot of negative emotions in me for someone, which I’d rather not feed.” . I am guessing we all talk of things we don’t whole-heartedly believe in sometimes, just to feel like we’re a part of people’s lives. But saying the things you really want to say is insanely powerful. It drops you back into your body, mind and heart thoroughly and when you say words which directly align with your energy, you feel beautifully grounded in who you really are. ~🌼

~ On some days, I sorely miss creating layers in my journal. ~ 💕💕

~ Growth is a silent, invisible thing ~ . Growth is a quiet affair;  a day-to-day phenomenon. . Growth happens behind the scenes, you and your heart, the only witnesses. . Growth creeps up on you, subtly, ordinarily. One day you're a seed and then steadily, you see yourself become the majestic tree you envisioned yourself to be. . Growth speaks of humility and surrender. . Growth is the messy, chaotic, tumultuous in-between.  . And if you aren't paying attention, those delicate moments of growth pass you by without being cherished. . So, keep your heart and mind in tune with your present self as you bloom bravely, day after day, night after night.

~ notes from everyday ~ 

~ I love making little paper pockets in my journal pages and I love using bills as paper layers. ~ 🌼

~ In the little joys, the daily joys, happiness awaits to hug us with arms open wide. ~
