This is the title of poetry book published by a friend (poet) in Tokyo on this fall. She sent it to me as a surprise, but apparently she accidentally sent it to my old address four years ago (Queens, Ridgewood). The address itself is correct, so there is a high chance that it will arrive, but if someone received it, of course I don’t live there and it would have been returned as the recipient unknown.
Fortunately, like a miracle, the landlord at the time found this collection of poems?? package?? that had been thrown away! It seems that no one was there because the house was being repaired, and the person who delivered it left it as it was. It could be a coincidence, or it could be a common occurrence. At the same time, my friend informed me that she was sorry that it did not arrive, and so she sent it to me again!
I’ve been feeling a lot of anxiety lately, so it was a very happy event.

Kenji Miyazawa. An extraordinary sensibility and an embody of animism. An eternal teacher who will continue to give a clear light in my life. Also Y.N who is my soul savior. They both have the same birthday, it means a lot to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenji_Miyazawa
