Hi,

Thank you very much for your message, and sorry my reply is late again.

I am pretty sure that you are helpful. Your belief and activities are strongly cheering us!!

The earthquake was really horrible, and it will remain in my mind, but I will continuously hope and hang tough. Things are getting better, thanks to help from across the world!

I highly appreciate you is having the auction with wonderful works and have a plan to donate in order to help Japan.It was a big surprise, and I will forward this great news for all time.

Regarding the organization for donating, I think Nihon Sekijuji is better, they are supposed to make effective use of all the donated money for damaged area. If we send goods, like heater, food and drink, I think it is faster to send to Miyagi prefecture or other Tohoku area directly. But if we send money, Sekijuji should be reliable organization, certain way. Because Tohoku area's offices are still in trouble, I guess.

Thank you very much, have a nice day, hope today goes well!

Hi,

Thank you very much for your warm message. Your message gave me power, and I appreciate you keep us updated on your activities cheering us.

To be honest, currently I was feeling loneliness and anxiety, as many foreign friends have already left my living place. Some of them left even Japan.

It is natural, cause they have their own families in their country. No one is wrong. I know well that they all are also worrying about people in Japan so much. I just don't want to imagine that the terrible crisis separates us.

I hope, no matter where we are, we can pray together.
I will hang tough, hoping strong recovery of Japan.
Sincerely hope you and your loved one have a pleasant day.

かなしいけど

きょうは
あずきの命日になってしまった

あずき

この数日、
とってもくるしかったね、
ごめんね。

とっても小さいけど、
いつもみんなを和ませてくれた。
みんなあずきに会うと笑った。

元気にカーテンにのぼったのも、
きなこのところに忍びこんだのも。

夏はおなか出して寝てた。
あくびしては伸びた。

そしていつも手になついた。

白くてやわらかい体。
のぼってきてはソワソワした。

あずき

小さないのち
みじかすぎる

小さな体でいつも

私の部屋をあたためた

Ambivalence

Am I in a hurry to decide, or infirm of purpose?

Should I wait? Or need to have a strong will?

It looks like that I wound up in a strange place.

Hope

It looks like that we have to take care, but don't need to be worried so much.

Message to you

Fiona Apple Paper Bag Live 2009

When I was about 14 years old, I used to listen this song, Fiona Apple's "Paper Bag"

More than 10 years passed, I found the video she's performing at private party in NYC, 2009.
