A Mountain Comments

No, Elena! You have not missed my point. I would like to cheer younger generation in Japan by telling something like this!

Here what thought your poem brought to me: A while ago I came back to Japan after a vacation overseas. Seated on a bench in the airport waiting for the next flight. I saw a foreigner walking between a sea of Japanese. And then the difference struck me: All the Japanese were moving the same while the foreigner was moving different. Maybe that is the difference you are writing about here. You all go in the same direction doing the same thing yet you move absolute free uncontrolled by numerous ties of Japanese style (lots of written and unwritten rules) ...Total freedom of thinking with a free choice for the new path beside the one imposed by the motions of the crowd. Nice write, I hope I have not missed your point..

That makes you a strong person like a mountain yourself! ! you know what is perfect for you..then you own your life well! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! _Soul
