“it starts here and now”

In my room there’s a calendar which introduces 31 poems of one of the famous Japanese poets Mitsuwo Aida’s.

On the first page it says “it starts here and now.”

Three months have passed since the year 2015 started.

A new fiscal year has just started today.


As for me, I’ve already started in my mind for the next trek.

But I have to set a clearer and more concrete goal.

I wonder how much farther I can run.

I wonder how old I will be when I finish running.



“it starts here and now”

Yes, it really does!

Now I'll restore my spirits and try to start something new.
