今日3月11日で　東日本大震災のあの日から　5年が経過いたしました

尊い命を失われた皆様方に　心よりご冥福をお祈り申し上げます

そして今も尚　震災後の困難と向き合い続けておられます　多くの被災者の皆様に　心からお見舞い申し上げます

大覚寺竹林の中で　まだ幼い椿の木が　一輪の花を咲かせました

サネカズラに絡まれ　蜘蛛の巣の間から

初めてこの世に開いた　一輪の花の　命のよろこびが

美しい　美しい　力を湧き起こす

One Flower

Five years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred.
Please let me genuinely pray for the souls of the victims.
In addition, I would like to express my sincere sympathy to all of the victims who have been confronted with many difficulties since the earthquake.
Yesterday, I found a single camellia flower in a bamboo thicket. Some vines and cobwebs were winding around the young plant.
Nevertheless, the one flower looked as if it was beaming with joy as it bloomed for the first time in the world.
