In June, the raining season will arrive in Japan. They will have lots of rain. In Japan, old saying '雨降って地固まる.' Literal translation would be 'after the rain, ground becomes firm.' It really means, 'adversity strengthen the foundation'. Like when a broken bone is healed, it becomes stronger. Water cleanse, nurture and nurse the ground.
When we have hard time, we realize and learn something from it and turn it to the better foundation than before. It may be hard to imagine that when so many cities and towns were destroyed, so many lives were lost or are still missing, the nuclear reactor is not under the control, many evacuees have no idea when they can go home, and many business are affected and struggling to survive.
Two hours later, rain stopped falling, so i went for running. when I was running along the beach, I saw a blight lit ship on the dark horizon, and above it there was the thin light in the dark sky. I kept watching wondering where the light is coming from, and soon I found that the moon was appearing from the thick cloud in the dark sky.
I had a chat with my sister and my brother in law last night. Japan is finally getting warmer, and now they see 'Sakura' cherry blossom. Spring has arrived in Japan.
