Animism, or where something aethereal surely lives.

I never had believed anything spiritual, 

nor I never had been interested in any place called "Power Spot", 

until, I got to Suwa-taisha shrine in Nagano.

as soon as I reached there, I felt something divine, transcendent there.

i cannot see, nor i cannot describe very well, but i knew it was.

it is so different from how i used to feel in any other shrine or temple, or church in Europe.

When I was there, standing, 

listening to the leaves trembling in the breeze of spring,

I felt my spirit with nature, be precise, I exist only in extension of nature.

they are originally not to be separated, 

however we tend to forget it in our daily lives in this busy world.

it was when, the world and myself were the same.

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.

as if nothing has been changed,

  i stayed home alone, stroking my dog, took him for a walk around my home,
  randomly chose a book from the bookshelf,
 read one of the comic books either of my parents used to read,
 put on a radio, take a nap, get awake, make a tea for myself,
do it again and again, like i always used to do.

spring has come, a baby has grown.

 it is so unbelievable that my friend's daughter has grown so big!
when I was a kid, everyone says
"oh my gosh, has she already grown this big?! she was just a baby last time I saw!",
and I was wondering why people always get so surprised
even though I am just growing as the time goes by.
but now, I am the one who is surprised.
Time flies. it was probably what was happening among those grown-ups.
I am now a bit sad to know this.
