風吹き渡り　木の葉ふり　もみじに笑う　秋の最中

ほんのひとときの骨休めに　紫野　高桐院を　訪れました

いつも変わらない　受付の女性の暖かな　言葉に

いつも変わらない　床の間の　生け花の　優しさに

（　10年が経ったのだなぁ…　）

楽しくて　嬉しくて　ふと気が付けば　10年目

凛として清々しい　ご住職の　御書風に

出発点を戴いた　喜びと

背中を力強く押していただいた　大きな感謝が

とめどなく　溢れてきます

A Good Time

In the middle of the autumn when chat away with multi-colored maple leaves.
I visited Kotou-in(sub-temple of Daitoku-ji)　for relaxation and a good time.
The receptionist always speaks with tender words,
The usual flower arrangement in the "tokonoma"(a recess in a traditional Japanese room)
also gives a warm atmosphere.

"Ten years have passed since I started this work." I thought.

And I feel these ten years have passed too quickly because I enjoyed working in this temple.
My heart swelled with the deepest gratitude to him for backing up at the starting line to this job,
while I was looking at the fresh calligraphy written by the chief priest.
