筆供養の日に引いたおみくじにあった言葉です。

「末吉」だったので、お宮さんやお寺さんによっては、「凶」の婉曲表現のところもあるようですが、私はこれで嬉しかったです。

これから悪くなるよりも、いずれいい日が来るのが嬉しい。

This is a written oracle in the form of a tanka I drew on the day of the memorial service for old, used brushes.　It was actually “expected good fortune in the future”, which might be a euphemism for “unlucky” in some shrines and temples.　However, I was very glad I drew this one.　Naturally, it is much better to expect blessing in the future than to be at the peak at present.

“Beautiful is the color of the young leaves which are now coming out.　For, you see a bright and prosperous future full of blooming flowers and growing fruits.”
