The Touch of a Small Resonance

When I lift my head for a moment,
there is an instant that steals my heart.
The light of dusk,
the sky reflected on the water,
a landscape quietly breathing.

Wrapped in that fleeting moment,
I feel, “Ah… I am alive.”

I cherish this space,
and feel that it is this very place
that keeps me alive.

Yet that small resonance
can only be heard
within the quiet.

What We Have Lost in Modern Times

The city—
a world overflowing with excitement, desire,
and endless stimulation.

Swayed by the voice that whispers, “More, more,”
carried away by our restless hearts,
we find ourselves present in body,
yet somehow absent from ourselves.

The noise,
the constant agitation,
the mind that never stops—
in this modern life,
we have lost the ability
to hear that quiet inner echo.

And that is why,
now more than ever,
each of us must listen
to the voice within.

Why This Story Was Born

With that wish in my heart,
I shaped the small resonances I felt
into the form of a story.

This story is a quiet guide,
leading you gently
into the depths of your inner world.

The “Entrance of Resonance” Within

The small realizations of daily life,
the moments when the heart gently trembles,
the quiet shivers felt in ordinary days—
all of these are
an entrance of resonance,
guiding you inward
into deeper reflection

The Journey of the Enso

This journey moves in a circle,
just like the enso.

Small Resonances
The small resonances from the outer world — the entrance to the journey.

Into the Quiet Depths
Sinking inward — the descent.

Light of Life
The light discovered in the deep — the ascent.

Drops of Everyday Life
Returning to daily life, carrying that light — the homecoming.
