On a Rainy Day Last night, Kamakura was covered in snow. But by midnight, the snowfall turned into rain. This morning, raindrops slid from the leaves, **Nourishing us, filling us with life.** The water flows, the seasons shift. **The scent of wet earth lingers in the air.** And quietly, we wait. **Waiting for the gentle arrival of spring.** A quiet moment with bonsai in the rain. The sound of droplets, the wet bark, the scent of the earth.
