I spend a good Saturday morning typing in Japanese about the “Sashiko & the Japanese philosophy of praying”, which explain what I would like to tell throughout Sashiko. I won’t be able to translate what I wrote into English well, so I will write another blog with this topic. The message is simple, but the story ends up with kinda epic. The message is “No more judging” and “Love who you are, not what you are capable of doing” but, it is already losing the sense by summarizing it… lol. Language (writing) is very challenging. Sometimes, just the stitches tell more story than actual writing. I love & respect the writing, so please bear with me while for the English version.

あぅぅ。ほんの少し自分の気持ちを纏めるつもりが、2時間半の大作になってしまった……。どうも文章が好きすぎて、集中すると周りが見えなくなります。恵子さん曰く「（長くて読むのに疲れる）淳節」ですが、思いは込めてるので、一読頂ければ嬉しいです。針目に（文章にも）込める祈りを鑑みた、僕が伝えたい刺し子のお話です。でも、針目でこの祈りを表現できる恵子さんがやっぱり羨ましい（笑）

Bellísimo trabajo
読んできました🎵幸せは掴むものではなく気づくもの。私も最近本当にそうだなーと思います。イライラしながら刺し子をしてもしばらく刺すと気持ちが落ち着く…そんな刺し子に出会えた事がここ最近で一番幸せなことかな…と思っています😊
Well done with the English. Feel very proud of yourself. I know only one language- English. Japanese looks so hard!
This is a wonderful post with a wonderful thought!
Very interested in your writing about Sashiko and prayer. Will look forward to your posting more. Good job on your English. I am studying Japanese again, started when I was a child.💜
❤️❤️❤️
Sounds like the teaching of Jesus Christ 🙏 Christ in us the hope of glory.
@jrf54 Thank you. It is an interesting theme to talk about as well, the Sashiko, buddhism, christianity and others. They share the very similar idea. Bear with me !
Love your posts – thoughts and images !!
