Good morning!
We can see now almost the half moon, some flowers inside and out, many birds and branches, and rabbits and raccoons even.
I thought we had the first spring storm (haru ichiban:春一番), but that was a part of a dozen of devastating tornadoes claiming a dozen casualties in the Midwest.
There was a heavy snow storm in the East coast and in the West mountain area. The cold wave has been hitting Europe and Far East with heavy snow fall.
We enjoy nature, calling setsugekka (雪月花:snow, the moon, and flowers) or kachôfûgetsu (花鳥風月:flowers, birds, wind, and the moon).
If we are without wintry wind or strong storm, we can enjoy nature. But, if we have excessive wind and storms, we cannot.
We have been creating abnormal climate. When we sit still and serene, we can enjoy windless state of karma, enjoying pure peace and prognosis. This is good for all always.
