About one week has passed since the start of February. My feeling now is “is it getting a little warmer, I wonder” or “I hope it is”.

Although my memory ability has now declined immensely, I used to have a marvelous faculty of memory when young, which made some people really hate me. Moreover, because of that GOOD memory, I myself had to continue to hate someone for a long spell. However, I have always treasured my memory faculty and memories themselves all my life. Memories do not need spaces and they do not have shapes and weight, either. I believe they are as precious as jewels that keep on shining in my heart.
Although it is a haiku about the New Year, I wrote it because it happened to hold my attention.
Memories do not occupy/

The month of February is just around the corner. As my mother passed away in February, I can’t help but look at it that way.

A sales clerk in a store I happened to stop by to do some shopping was a really beautiful young man, which made me very happy. Now I wonder how long has it been since the last time I got so happy only because of seeing a good-looking boy.

Today is January 7, and I am going to have rice porridge with seven kinds of spring herbs, following a long tradition that is meant to wish for healthy lives. Apparently, one of the seven kinds is the Japanese parsley I wrote yesterday, however, I can’t tell which one that is out of these in a “seven herbs set” I bought at a grocery store.
