Elegance

At the sunset I watched the brilliantly shining silhouette of Mt. Fuji, which obviously manifested a divinity. After the sunset, a crescent moon in the night sky also illustrated Mt. Fuji to make it look even more glorious. My life and heart trembled at the beautiful scene and wondered at the mysterious nature of being alive. I recalled that about twenty years ago I had seen a similar scene when I had climbed down from Mt. Sinai in Egypt, after having watched the sunrise on top of it. I realized a divine world that would allow me to live on forever under the brilliantly shining crescent moon full of atmosphere to create legendary stories. I stood watching the scene forgetting all the fatigue from mountain climbing. I felt great gratitude to be alive and for having encountered a divine world. Since then, this beautiful memory was perpetuated in my mind, and today I trembled to have encountered the manifestation of a divine world in Japan, with Mt. Fuji and the crescent moon.
