Thank for the nature...

On the way to the bus stop, I see this island named Enoshima (which flows into Sagami bay in Japan) in the distance every morning, If it's lucky, I also see the Mt.Fuji on the left side of it.

The scenery has been my emotional support through hard times and good times.

On the Weekend, I go for walk around beach area near my house or go to Kamakura.
Every week, I could go for a little trip so I like this beach life even though commuting 1h30 4 days a week to Tokyo.

The gate on the rock at Issiki beach

Old people built those gates called Torii in Japanese, for marking the entrance to a sacred area. You could see the Torii every where in Japan.

All natural objects and phenomena used to be considered as having kami (god), so the gods of Shinto were uncountably numerous.

I have met those similar thoughts and spirits the places I traveled, such as First Nations in Canada,U.S. , Aborigines in Australia. Animals and nature are their spiritual guide.

After couple years I traveled, every time I see the Torii in Japan, I understand more why my ancestors built those gate in the each places, beautiful places... and I appreciate more for this mother nature...

In Peace
