A Boy and a Puddle

On the very day when I asked my readings to Poseidia Institute through Mr. Yoh Hayashi, my snail-like walk began, and I am here now. I am not fond of the word ‘fate’ or ‘destiny’. Instead of them I would like to use the verb ‘choose’, consciously or unconsciously. Every day I have many turning points, I believe.

The earliest memory of such an idea is on a path to my home when I was 8 years old. On the way back to my home from primary school, there was a short cut path. As it was after the rain, there was a small water on the path. I stopped in front of it and wondered. What will my life be if I choose the right side of the water, or the left side of it? Even a small difference will become an extremely big one. I think I was in a very naïve way of pondering. I hesitated a while, and the next moment I jumped over the water.

I felt very fine.
