Japanese Style of Time
InDuring the tea ceremony, I drink a cup of powdered tea so very slowly. I am healed by the aroma while enjoying the rich flavor, and I am warmed my heart since the tea is hot enough for the season, it warmed my heart.
There is another element of happiness, and it is studded with flavors here and there. The host prepares the ceremony with some consideration in order to entertain us. Taking some clue from a hanging scroll, flowers, a vase, tea utensils and amenity, we could find and feel it.
My favorite pleasure is“間”during the ceremony. It comes from the time, the sense of distance, the way his smooth and sensitive moves, and the harmony with its in the air. The graceful style what of the host make produces a pleasant tense feeling and enriches my mind.Nothing is more refreshing than “ippon” on a Judo match. Whether they win or not, their skillful movement catches us off a guard and fascinated fascinates us. They say that“間”is the most important point for Judo. They can make ippon with a sense of distance and a perfect timing for catching off a guard, it doesn’t matter how whether the opponent is high or how opponent is powerful.
When I taste a cup of take a sip of the tea, and I enjoyed the tasteful taking the time. I drink it so by drinking it slowly, and it built while building up my energy, then I then prepare for next fight.
お茶会の席で私は、お抹茶をゆっくりといただく。香りに癒され、濃厚な味を楽しみ、そして、季節に添ったお茶の温度に心が温まる。
お抹茶の味も然ること事ながら、その空間にはそこかしこに、味わいがちりばめられている。主人は客をもてなす為に、さまざまな配慮を以って準備をする。私達は、お軸やお花、花器、お道具やその心地好い空間に込められたヒントをもとに、それらを発見し、味わう事ができる。
お茶会で私がもっとも楽しみにしているのは、そこにある“間”です。それは、時間であり、主人との距離感であり、繊細な所作の滑らかさであり、その空間との調和でもある。
主人の作り上げる優雅な身のこなしは、心地良い緊張感を生み出し、私の心に潤いをもたらす。
柔道の試合で、一本勝ち程爽快な瞬間は無い。勝敗に関係無く、僅かな隙をついた鮮やかな動きは、見ている者の心を一瞬にして奪う。柔道の要はやはり“間”なのだと言う。相手との距離感、一瞬の隙をつくタイミングを活かせれば、どれ程背の高い、力の強い相手でも一本を決められるらしい。
一杯のお茶を味わいながら、味わい深い時間を楽しむ。ゆっくりと味わいながら、私は英気を養い、更なる闘志に備える。A beautifully written story. Thank you for sharing it.

Hi, what's up guys!
Actually I've been working for a call center as a part-timer for 3 months now.
We need to get a contract with at least one customer within two hours.
I usually get one within 4 hours.
I worked 4 hours today, but I couldn't get one contract at all.
I will be working tomorrow.
So I need to work more harder than today!0 votedJuly 27, 20110I am going to Osaka and Kyoto

Hi!
Long time no see.
I'm Dudu. How have you been?
I moved to new house, and I'm living a quiet life.
By the way, my home studio is up and running smoothly.
Yesterday, I had set up the new drumset.
Setting up the drums is very difficult, since it's my first time.
I will have to ask my friends to help set up the drumset this weekend.
I've posted a picture of the drumset.
It is very cool, isn't it? ^_^0 votedJuly 27, 20110Vocabulary building
esteem, arouse, allure, tolerate, presume, compel......
These are words that I have never heard. I am studying vocabulary. To me, it's difficult. Why does "possess" means "have"? If their meaning are similar, then I could only use "have." Why does "fasten" means "glue" or "staple"? Does the word "fast" then becomes a noun? ......
Even if I snivel, I have to learn. Words I should learn are a lot. How overwhelming.....The word heavy is used to describe weight, force, amount or quantity.
'\'Overwhelming' would be a word to use, or 'challenging' which is positive sounding.
