Outdoors in Autumn



October must be my favorite month, the weather is usually good, the sky puts on a beautiful show of clouds, and I no longer have to take three showers a day to feel clean.  It's the perfect time to get to the mountains, or go for a drive along the coast.  This fall I really want to go stargazing at the Tengu Highlands, I heard the night sky is really beautiful from there and you can see the milky way on a clear night.

十月は間違いなく 私の一番好きな月だ。 天気もいいし、雲はすごくきれいな色と形で、そんなに暑くないから気持ちいい。登山や海岸沿いのドライブにばっちり。今年の秋は天狗高原に行って綺麗な夜空を見に行きたいと思っている。天狗高原からみる景色はとても綺麗で、銀河も見えると聞いたから、今からいける日をとても楽しみにしている。

The Speed of Life



As it gets warmer and people get more and more active, time seems to fly by sometimes.  We get caught up in our busy spring and summer schedules with events every weekend and our minds are often one step ahead of us.  Unlike spring and summer there aren't as many things going on in Fall, its a time when things are slowing down to a better pace, where we're present, sometimes a little bored, but present.  I think it's even more important now though, in this fast moving part of the year, to remember to slow down and let ourselves catch-up.

人生の速さ
暖かくなって人が活動的になると、時間のスピードが速く過ぎるように感じる。春や夏はイベントがたくさんあって頭がいっぱいになる。秋はイベントが少ないが、時間がゆっくりに感じられる季節だから頭の中がスケジュールに支配されないで時間や季節を一つ一つ確かに感じられる。だから、忙しい春や夏こそ秋のようにゆっくりと落ち着いて過ごせるように心がけることが大事だと思う。
