Japanese Title (邦題)： 「希望の輝き」末尾に
Brilliance of hope
Today, August 9th, is a day of prayer held twice a year at our guesthouse. I prioritized prayer over social media and planned not to post any articles.
However, when I went outside to prune the out-of-season hydrangeas to clean up the area around the entrance before praying,
I was surprised to see a single lily shining white among the faded hydrangeas. Even though we didn’t plant it.
Perhaps the god known as nature knew that pure prayers would be offered here on this day and caused the flowers to bloom here.
I offer these flowers and prayers so that all wars and conflicts that occur on earth will end immediately.
And as always, I offer my prayers to the people of Nagasaki who died in the atomic bombing, on behalf of my ancestors who lived in Kitakyushu.
Thank you and you have a nice day without being disappointed in humanity.

希望の輝き
今日８月９日は当宿では年に二回の祈りの日。SNSよりも祈りを優先して、記事はあげないつもりでした。
ところが、祈りの前にエントランス周りを綺麗にしようと、シーズンが過ぎた紫陽花を剪定するために表に出ると、
色褪せた紫陽花の花の中から、一輪の百合が白く輝いていて驚きました。植えたわけでもないのに、、、
きっとこの日ここで純粋に祈りが捧げられることを自然という名の神様が知って、この場に花を咲かせたのかもしれません。
地球上で起きているすべての戦争や紛争がなくなるようにこの花と祈りを捧げます。
そして、北九州にいた先祖の代わりに、原爆で亡くなった長崎の皆さんにも、、、
それでは、人類に失望しなくてすむ素敵な一日を！
