Wandering around the apricot




　　　　　　 　I thank all of you for the kindness and encouragement.
　　　　　　The people will sure revive vigorously.

　　　　　　"Human power" to overcome every hardships.
　　　　　　I heartily believe it.




　　　 　 　　　
　　　　　　Opening, Rational, Composure...
　　　　　　They will lead all to the reproduction.





　Fragrances lead me.
　Out of nowhere...

　Faint, and Soft.




　The snow white glistens.
　Time does not stop.

　And drift eternally.




　You hide.
　A secret flower garden.

　I drift, too. 　And an end will come.

    Ruma, Thank you for these beautiful images of your world while we still see haunting images of other parts of your country. Beauty always exists right along side that of utter destruction. Your words are hopeful . . . in that there are many hidden gardens of beauty and the pain and suffering will end. Your country men and women will "rise vigorously."

    Your Ume blossoms are really beautiful! They certainly bloom beautifully braving the frigid cold in the disaster areas in Tohoku, too. Of course, we never give up! I really hope the situation in the nuclear plants in Fukushima will get better as soon as possible. And I hope those who are missing will be found as soon as possible too.

    Ruma:
    Estamos con ustedes, las imágenes del horror las vemos todos los días por la televisión. Ahora el fantasma de la radioactividad aumenta el dolor, admiro el valor de los técnicos que están intentado solucionar la fuga en los reactores, sabiendo que exponen sus vidas.

    The first photo of todays's update(fire) has nothing to do with the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The fire in the first photo occurred at an industrial complex in the disaster area and was put out already. I'd think it would be better for you to add a caption about it because such photo may cause misunderstanding to your readers.

    今日アップデートされた地震のニュースに関する写真の一枚目は今回世界中で懸念されている原発事故に関する写真ではないので（たしか地震にともなうコンビナートの火災の映像）きちんとした写真に関しての説明を入れておかないと、読者が誤解する恐れがたぶんにあると思いますが。こういう国難の時期なので、海外の読者にたいしては誤解がないように細心の注意を払ったほうがいいと思うのですが。

    Ruma,
    Soon we will enter the equiosque spring, here in Portugal is not raining
    we see colors and unusual shapes in Heaven my head is always towards the sky, my feet firmly on the ground.
    Legends and myths say that all day, that archangels are meeting to fertilize
    earth and all beings.
    My wish is that they accompany you and illuminate them behind humanitarian aid, peace and love.
    Speaking of humanitarian aid, and also researched the Japanese gouverne not requested outside help. But Portugal is willing to wait and Help.Noticias I read on the Internet at the Red Cross (national and international solidarity)
    I apologize for my translation Automatica Google.

    Greetings

    Bonjour Ruma,
    Je regardais les cerisiere du japon fleurir chauque année en Normandie, avec une pensée pour mes amis Japonais. Cette année, ma joie est mêle de larmes. Vendredi dernier, je suis allé au vernissage d'une amie peintre Japonaise. Quelques temps avant de recevoir les invités dans sa galerie de peinture, je l'ai trouvée assisse à sa petite table, l'oreille collée sur un poste de radio et pleurant doucement. Elle écoutait les nouvelles du Japon. Il y a eu beaucoup de monde au vernissage et les invités ont été très gentils avec elle. Sati Moderan-Uwada, a perdu son mari, un professeur de lettres, il y a 9 mois et toute sa famiLle est au Japon. Cette femme, presque inconnue dans le monde l'art, a peint près de 5000 toiles en 30 ans. Cela représente une très grande œuvre qu'elle ne fait que commencer à montrer tout en pleurant son pays.
    Nous allons l'aider.
    Avec toute mon amitié,Ruma

    Roger
