この村の けふの色なり 
芝桜
我が家の今日の色は紅白
めでたいなぁ〜
遠くから見ると色鮮やかで思わず目を奪われます
近くで見ると、ひとつひとつの小さな花に繊細さを感じて感動
この花が一面に咲く公園があるらしい
いつか絶対見に行きたいな〜
風這はせ 色を這はせて 芝ざくら
(風に乗せて、色を這わせている芝桜)
この村の けふの色なり 芝桜
(この村の、今日の色は芝桜だ)
風這はせ 色を這はせて 芝ざくら
拈華微笑 I may not fully grasp the truth that Mahākāśyapa realized, but I still wish to emulate his smile. This is a story from the time when Shakyamuni Buddha delivered a sermon on Vulture Peak. It is said that Shakyamuni, without saying a word, picked up a lotus flower and gently showed it to the assembly. While the disciples could not grasp his meaning, only Mahākāśyapa understood Shakyamuni's intention and smiled gently. Mahākāśyapa adhered to strict precepts regarding clothing, food, and shelter, leading a simple life. Specifically, he wore coarse robes, ate only food received through begging, and practiced asceticism, wandering without a fixed abode. Though I cannot live like Mahākāśyapa, I have decided to grow vegetables instead, in place of his gentle smile and simple way of life.
