The Winter Suns…

What I do always in the morning is to see and check the locations of the Sun from my balcony. My balcony is facing at this moment directly to east, but it is moving slightly to north-eastern direction as the days is becoming longer day by day after the Winter solstice day. 

When I moved to my current flat, the only thing I didn't like was the view from my balcony. However now I really like the views I see every morning. Even though it is not perfect as some buildings are blocking it, the perfection of the Sun and all the existence in this universe never change. 

I'm really waiting for the next Spring to come. Since I moved in this place last June, and I haven't seen the Spring view from my balcony yet. The colors of gradation must be very amusing differently from the other seasons. 

”節分” (Setsubun) is coming soon on 3rd of February, and we starts preparing for the next Spring to welcome. In European countries, carnivals are starting soon as well. I do strongly remember that my good friend in Luzern, Switzerland one day  took me to the carnival in Bern and how beautiful it was. People were wearing beautiful dresses and marching with brass band music. 

Even if the festivals are taking place still in the middle of winter, Spring may be already reaching their hearts as the colorful confetti being scattered in the sky.

I'm becoming impatient to explore to find something interesting. It's a good sign for me which means that my energy is coming back. However I need to control it at this moment as I do things as minimized as possible. Be just patient. 

I need to keep my seeds warm in my hands, and wait for the right timing to sow for a good harvest. 

Another beautiful day in Osaka. Hope that the Gods are always beside me and you, guys as well. 

Have a amazing day!
