Would you enjoy another version of our “Yellow Card”? Since the eldest flowers began to brown, Mei-Shun searched how to keep a pot of cymbidium healthy. It is better to cut blooming branches after one month, they say. Oh, it has been a bit too long for you to stay here, darling, so sorry. Your twin sisters still look bright enough, please feel safe.
This is Mei-Shun’s second 2016 omikuji.
第四十四番 吉 The 44th Lucky
このみくじにあう人は 碁に黒白の石が置いてあるように 吉凶はないが 心遣いと努力があれば 後にはすべて良くなる 物事先んずれば良く 遅れれば利なし 神仏の御加護を信じ 熟慮断行すれば 幸せ来る
For those who see this sacred lot, lucky and unlucky matters share their existence as go game has black and white stones on the board. Take good care of other people while making efforts for yourselves. Everything would be better in the future. The sooner the better, no delay for profit. Believe in the protection of the God, consider before implementation. Happiness would soon come.
A stone of passion, carnelian was attached to the lot. It would bring triumph to your business and sports, they say.
Mikan-chan’s mom rushed back to the farmhouse. It looked holding a festival. Swimming her way through the crowd, she reached a grocer’s shop and asked a clerk if they had kept a brown purse cats drawn on. “Ah, let me see,” he smiled and whispered a few words to a little girl sitting at the counter. “Here you are,” she opened both hands.
Such an honesty could fall on you in this country, even if you are the most careless person.
Please find below our Yellow card at the end of this month. She never stop catching our eyes, letting us ask if she does not feel thirsty every day. Honey, it is warm today. Won’t you go outside and greet the sun?
Twin Suns?
… before performance it was today. Master Mei-Shu is kind enough to encourage her student, saying “All right, well done. You are perfect”. Yes, this is the point of no return. All Mei-Shun could do is to prevent any accidents, including sickness and injury, to do her best on Sunday.
Mei-Shun visited her mother’s home. She is well as always, that gives her younger daughter a relief and happiness. Her older daughter lives nearby, making grandma twice-a-week babysitter. Mei-Shun hopes her once-in-a-month visit help us check up mom’s health. How she looks, speaks and walks? How much she eats? A rare visitor might be able to recognize a small change.
Mei-Shun loves learning foreign languages. She has studied English for the longest time (30 years and more!) while French and Chinese follow. However, she has not reached the best positions; failed three times for Grade 1 of Eiken Test, gained Grade 3 of French and Chinese tests sponsored by our Government. She just hopes that her “hobby” would work to teach Japanese abroad in the future.
Our cymbidium looks a bit tired — her leaves turn pale, with tops blacked. Current environment might be too hard; in such a torrid weather. We decided to bring her indoors after watering in the morning, keeping her wet in daytime. In the evening, she returns to outdoors to be watered enough. We hope she would recover soon.
We hope she likes this environment enough to give a fruit. Attached instruction is read that banana leaves fall after another to grow up. However, it is a bit shocking to find out fallen one on the floor just over a night. We would try to be used to her custom.
Mei-Shun finished learning how to dance Suisen-Tanzen today. Since it has been superficial so far, the role of a night butterfly in transient loves must be soaked into dancer’s limbs and mind from now. She has only three months and a half left before the stage performance. Practice, practice and practice would continue.
