“Journeys”

Starting a journey is a time to say goodbye;
The journey itself a time to seek new encounters.
Life brings us many journeys.

The journey from that world to this world.
A new life with hopes and fears.
A fresh start with a pure heart.

The journey from schooldays to work and society.
Leaving one’s family, friends, and teachers.
Facing challenges that multiply as we grow older.

The journey from single life to married life.
Taking the first steps together, meeting the new family.
A training ground for realizing what brings happiness.

The journey at life’s end to the next world.
Too late for regret or reflection.
The true reckoning of one’s life awaits.


「旅立ちの時」

旅立ちは別れの時
新たな出会いを求めての旅
人生にはさまざまな旅立ちがある

あの世からこの世への旅立ち
希望と不安の新たな人生
純白の心からのスタート

学業を終えての社会への旅立ち
家族、友人、先生たちとの別れ
年齢を重ねるごとに試練は増す

独身から結婚への旅立ち
ともに歩み始め、新たな家族と出会う
幸不幸を分ける修行の場

人生を終えてあの世への旅立ち
反省も後悔も、もう遅い
人生の真の評価が待っている
