The cherry blossoms around are already in full bloom. The full fledged flowers also bloomed from the buds of the little branch that grew from the trunk. It seems that the cherry blossoms are in full bloom nationwide, and we are gaining momentum for the new year starting tomorrow.  I sympathize with the students and students who are unable to attend the graduation and entrance ceremonies, but I hope that all of them will believe “inscrutable are the ways of heaven” and aim for a new leap forward.  High school baseball is about to end, and professional baseball has begun.  Corona is also worried about the signs of the fourth wave, but society as a whole is starting to move.  This momentum does not stop.  It seems that general intake of the vaccine has started, so it seems that we can get out of the fear of corona infection with a little more patience.  Under the bright sun, this summer we want to go out to the sea and mountains to the fullest.

辺りの桜はもう満開です。溢れんばかりの勢いで、幹から生え出たばかりの木の芽からも一人前の花を咲かせています。全国的にも桜は満開だそうで明日から始まる新年度に向けて勢いを付けています。卒業、入学の式典もままならない生徒・学生諸君には同情しますが、万事塞翁が馬を信じて新たな飛躍を目指して欲しいものです。高校野球も無事終わりそうだし、プロ野球も開幕しました。コロナも第４波の兆候が気掛かりですが、社会全体が動き出しています。この勢いは止まりません。ワクチンの一般摂取も始まったそうですから、もう少しの我慢でコロナ感染の恐怖から抜け出せそうです。明るい太陽のもと、今年の夏こそ、思いっきり海や山に繰り出したいものです。
