A quiet day spent preparing for my father’s seventh memorial service, tending the family grave, planting flowers, and later walking through a hilly park in Fujisawa. Sometimes, a day without much thinking is exactly what one needs.
I cleaned the family grave in preparation for my father’s seventh memorial service.
I bought flowers that can withstand dry weather, then cleaned the area and planted them.
In the evening, I visited Shinbayashi Park in Fujisawa.
I walked the full hiking course, with its surprisingly steep ups and downs, and broke a sweat for the first time in a while.
I did not use my head much today.
But once in a while, that is probably just fine.
Some days are better spent moving quietly than thinking too much.
