[ Note ] Words that come to mind when spring arrives

Heading to the bakery that I learned about from a customer during the recent atelier open day.道すがら、When I looked around, I noticed that cherry blossoms were beginning to bloom here and there.Further along, the scent of daphne wafts past my nose.Perhaps because it has been cold lately, I was still feeling very much in a winter mood, butSpring had come to my feet without me even realizing it.This time of year, I always remember a passage from an essay written by Michio Hoshino during his stay in Fairbanks, Alaska.（For some reason, not in summer, but in spring）

The sensation of the wind caressing my cheeks is sweet,You can tell that the seasons are about to change. (Omitted)Human feelings are quite funny, aren't they?On one hand, I am inevitably influenced by trivial daily matters,The sensation of the wind and the hint of early summer can enrich us so much.（Michiho Hoshino "The Traveling Tree" Bungeishunjū, 1999）

Lately, I've been swayed by "trivial everyday matters,"I was unable to even notice the signs of the new season.The scent of daphne does not come no matter how much I scroll on my smartphone,You won't be able to encounter the cherry blossoms blooming in that place.Don't just settle for spring that comes flowing from social media,I want to feel the spring that touches me directly,This year, I plan to really savor it.
