capturing in prose
We live on our planet with other everything. One of common and traditional thoughts in Japan is based on an idea that a god (spiritual being) live in any thing, in a stone, tree, mountain, sea, street, house, door and everything here and there. That is, I could say, a myriad of gods.
At least it is true that we LIVE on Earth in Mother Nature.

I felt after I finished Slaughterhouse-Five that I didn’t have to write at all anymore if I didn’t want to. It was the end of some sort of career. I don’t know why, exactly. I suppose that flowers, when they’re through blooming, have some sort of awareness of some purpose having been served. Flowers didn’t ask to be flowers and I didn’t ask to be me. At the end of Slaughterhouse-Five…I had a shutting-off feeling…that I had done what I was supposed to do and everything was OK .
スローターハウスファイブを書き上げたあとで、書きたいと思わない限り、もはや書く必要はないと感じていた。ある種、キャリアの終わりのようなものだった。正確な理由はわからない。花が咲く時、それは供された目的のようなものを知っているのではないかと思っている。花は誰かに花であってくれと頼まれたわけではないし、私は私であるよう頼まれたわけでもない。スローターハウスファイブを書き上げた時、隔絶されたような気がしたのだが、こうでなければならないと思われたことを全て成し遂げ、全てがOKだったのだ。

Nature always shows us wonderful shapes unexpectedly. Pictures were taken at the backyard of my house, just 10 seconds to walk. Though it is said that natural shapes are fractal and these are looked so, no difficult words are needed I suppose.
It was Earth Day in 22 April 2016.
