The first flower 1A

* 5. Haven’t you ever had a time when you couldn’t even eat for days due to sickness or a cold? And somehow you got better and finally you could eat rice porridge or something.   ‘How delicious!’ ‘I can feel it in my stomach!’ ‘I’m so happy!’   Haven’t you ever had a time when you couldn’t even go outside for days because of study, work, or sickness.   You looked up at the sky through the window for days,   and finally you were able to go out and breathe the air outside looking up at the sky.   ‘It’s marvelous…!’ You would think.   And Didn’t you feel at that time? Didn’t you notice at that time?   That the food you took inside your body was giving you energy… When you went outside in the dazzling sun light and the feeling on your skin of the sweet breeze.   * It comes so naturally, to notice.   But it is always close to us.   Maybe that’s how happiness is.     Your happiness Is always in your physical body.   Your happiness Is always inside your heart.   How much?   How many levels of happiness?   1? 2? 5? 10? 100? 10000000000?   There are too many levels to count. It’s all too natural for us to notice and we are always too late to notice and to give thanks for this happiness. Yes, Happiness is not something that you get from somewhere, But something that you feel inside. Even in the same environment you can live unhappily or you can also live happily.   Yes, Happiness might all be up to you.   But there is something interesting with this happiness.   That is , Even when I see a stranger feeling happiness, I notice that I  begin to feel happy myself, just by looking at them.   So, I would like to help you to feel happier. With countless thoughts of the innumerable ‘paths to happiness’ connecting the world these are not able to be seen in our eyes or to be walked upon.   May you be happy, Much happier.   May you be able to feel happiness.
