Words of the Month

May 2020


All of us see
Not the world itself, but instead
The world reflected in our minds.

All of us hear
Not the sounds of reality, but instead
The voices that reverberate in our minds.

Therefore
Let us attune our ears to listen
With a serene mind.

To approach the facts
To touch the truths
To take in deeper meanings.

Let us attune our ears to listen
With a serene mind
To the best of our ability.

Keiko Takahashi
