On a train.
Reading a book.
The window is opened.
The moment the train enters
the tunnel,
strong wind blew
blowing the pages of the book.
Suddenly a bookmark that I never noticed being there
falls on the floor.
I pick up.
On the bookmark it says
成功するまで続けず
途中であきらめてしまえば、
それで失敗である。 (松下幸之助)
If you don’t try until you are successful,
and if you give it up half way,
only then, it is a failure.
(Yukinosuke Matsushita)

Sometimes
the right words fall upon from nowhere,
like it was meant to be.
