Gogle says,

This 13th night is also called ``Chestnut moon,'' ``Imo moon,'' and ``Mame moon,'' depending on the offerings. Thirteen dumplings and the harvest of autumn crops such as chestnuts, sweet potatoes, taro, and soybeans are offered to the moon in gratitude.

Just like on the 15th night, I looked up at the moon in the sky, grateful for the richness of autumn and the daily peace and good health.

Dear God, thank you for showing me the beautiful moon today with a naturally calm and peaceful state of mind.

Tsuwabuki

This year it has many buds and flowers.

Green leaves spread out overlapping each other in a brown pottery pot, and at the tips of them are yellow accents of tsuwabuki flowers.

It has a calming Japanese autumn atmosphere.

Autumn in the village

On my way home from a routine liver check, I noticed a cosmos planted along the prefectural road.

I felt that the local people along the river were taking care of the crops.

White clouds rising in the blue sky on a sunny autumn day, flowers, flowers, flowers of various shapes and patterns peeking out from among the green leaves and smilingly blooming. Red, white, pink, a of colorful petals.

Thank God for the beautiful autumn in parade Japanese villages this year as well.

The first fruiting

This is my first harvest of Fuyu persimmons since the heavy pruning that broke my right wrist on March 6th (Sunday) the year before last.

A lot has happened in my life since I did a major decluttering three years ago.

It's been a whirlwind three months where I made a major decluttering both mentally and financially.

The other day, a friend wisely pointed out that mowing the 2,000 square meter property, which is now a daily routine, was a continuation of the decluttering I had done three years earlier.

The separation continues. That was a great point.

The same is true of the attitude that I have made in the sky, as a task to refine my soul in this life, and to live in the sky as a channel of love based on Christ consciousness.

Today too, I continue to live each moment of my life's journey to refine my soul.

Care with love

A small flower is blooming on the kitchen windowsill.

The jade-toothed leaves began to peel off, so I watered the sweet potato leaves that had brought coolness to my room in August, and replaced them with stone leaf that had been chewed by deer.

The atmosphere inside the booth changed completely, and a calm autumn atmosphere was spreading.

Sweet potato leaves are given new life by being given water, and stone buttercups that have been chewed by deer have regained their light.

無財の七施,Seven alms without wealth,

7 assets that don't need wealth backing.

If you look at it with love, give it attention, touch it, take care of it, it will come to life.

"What you give is what you receive"

I want to convey my kind feelings with kind eyes and kind words.

The kitchen booth is warm.
