[Japanease]
Love oracle, tie it up high in the balmy breeze.I bought a written oracle at a shrine in this season of the balmy breeze. Praying to God with all my heart for my wish to come true, and to escape any troubles that may occur, I tied it high up in a tree.I felt if I tied my oracle as high as I could in a tree, my wish would be stronger. Very soon the real summer, the season of love, is coming. I wished that the cool and light balmy breeze would bring me a splendid love.
[season words] balmy breeze In the shade under the green leaves, father baby-sitting buggy.On one weekend I saw a young couple. Perhaps the mother was gone shopping alone. The father and baby buggy were left in the shade under the green leaves. It looked like the father was waiting for the mother to come back as he sometimes dandled the baby in the buggy.Recently we often see young fathers baby-sitting on the weekends. They seem so inexperienced, but it is heartwarming to see those fathers with their babies.
[season words] shade under green leaves The breeze is like mother on Motherfs Day.The second Sunday in May is Motherfs Day. The breeze in this season is neither hot nor cold. It is the most pleasant breeze.To be in the warm breeze on Motherfs Day it feels like being in the womb, being wrapped in motherfs big bosom, or being protected; it makes me feel completely peaceful.
[season words] Motherfs day Bouncing babies up, fresh green leaves of the cherry trees.When we take small babies into our arms, we often lift them up with a bounce. Babies enjoy being bounced up in the air as they frolic with laughter.In this season of fresh green leaves on the cherry trees, we often see families with their children outdoors. Young and fresh green leaves of the cherry trees seem to be a symbol of the life force of strong, healthy and growing children.
