The nearby plum garden is in full bloom.  The daffodils that cover the ground leave only a few flowers, and the bright green leaves make the plum blossoms in full bloom even more prominent. The temperature is also going up rapidly, so you can sweat just by walking a little.  When I sit on the bench and look around, the inside of the park is completely spring scenery.  The park is large, so it’s not very noticeable, but it seems that quite a lot of people are visiting. If you open your smartphone with the intention of taking a picture, you will find only Ukrainian news.  Immediately I was pulled back to reality. Ukraine has been infringed and thousands have been killed by the ambitions of a man who believes that international affairs can be ruled by force.  I just get angry at that reality. The northern hemisphere is about to begin the year, and the southern hemisphere is the beginning of winter. However, the Corona Infestation is widespread throughout the globe, and the murders of the war are unfolding.

近くの梅園は満開です。地を覆う水仙はわずかに花を残すだけで、緑鮮やかな葉が満開の梅をいっそう際立たせています。気温も鰻登り、少し歩くだけで汗ばんできます。ベンチに座って見渡すと、園内はすっかり春景色。園内は広いので、それほど目立ちませんが、けっこう多くの人達が訪れているようです。写真を撮ろうとスマホを開けると、ウクライナのニュースばかり、途端に現実に引き戻されました。国際関係が力によって支配できると信じる男の野望が、ウクライナを蹂躙し、何千人もの人を殺している現実には怒りを覚えるばかりです。北半球はこれからは一年のはじまり、南半球は冬の始まりです。しかし地球全体には、コロナ禍が吹き荒れ、戦禍による殺戮が繰り広げられています。
