Tomorrow is the first day of winter.
This year, plants have brought us much joy: potted Tsubaki flowers, rosemary flowers, cuttings of cold chrysanthemums and hydrangeas have taken root, and Takasago lilies that were planted in the ground have made a comeback.
I hope it survives the winter well and heals us next year as well.
Mountains, rivers and plants all have Buddha nature.
We are grateful for the work of nature and will use its power to overcome this harsh winter. I'll do my best!
