天赦日・啓蟄(Awakening of Insects)

thousands of voices
thousands of dreams

from the depths of a boundless ocean of sound
膨大な夢が 重なり合う場所から
a quiet message has arrived

at the halls in Boston
where koto strings echoed through the garden
ボストンの学び舎と
琴の音色が 響いた庭

everything I am today
is because of those who gave me their time
今の私があるのは
私のために 時間を割いてくれたひとたちがいたから

to my friends who listened
to those who held space for my soul
優しい耳を かしてくれたあなたたちは
you are the light that keeps me moving

my heart overflows with gratitude
震えるような 感謝を込めて

in this season of awakening
命の目覚める 啓蟄の日に

March 21
Hold Space for Silence

I look forward to meeting you again
under the light of the Crescent Moon
三日月のもとで また会いましょう
