I'm currently back in Japan for a short visit, and I’ve been feeling a sense of excitement I haven’t felt in a long time—an almost childlike anticipation for the cherry blossoms (Somei Yoshino) to bloom. The mimosa and camellias are already out in their full beauty, often stopping me in my tracks. Japan’s seasons truly are something special.
The other day, I traveled again to my hometown and spent time with my mom and in-laws. My mother has been feeling a bit low lately, as she hasn't been able to get out much while caring for her husband. But seeing her so happy today—much more than I expected—made me deeply grateful I decided to return, even though I was just here four months ago.
As always, I’m filled with appreciation for my kind and supportive in-laws.
And during each visit with my parents, I find myself naturally receiving gentle “resolutions” to the quiet worries I carry about the future.
The more I let go, the more I receive—life has been unfolding in perfect alignment with those words.
Just a few days ago, I found myself spiraling into uncertainty. So I focused on grounding my mind and gently practicing the art of letting go. As I did, I could feel myself shifting into a stronger state of receptivity.
And then it happened—not just for me, but for my whole family.
Everyone began settling into their own space of joy and peace, in their own way.
Seeing that unfold, I couldn’t help but feel it was a kind of miracle.
A quiet knowing washed over me: this reality had already been forming—I just had to allow myself to see and receive it.
Sometimes, even good news can be hard to accept.
When we misunderstand the idea of “putting our happiness first,” it can lead to fear-based thinking and unnecessary separation.
In this third-dimensional world, when we start comparing, measuring gain and loss, or focusing on lack, things tend to get messy—especially in relationships.
My father-in-law’s condition, for example, is not what anyone would hope for. But through the lens of “we each create our own reality,” I’ve come to understand that even as close family, we can’t control or fix someone else's experience.
And yet—within this very situation—each person seems to be receiving what’s best for them.
That realization alone feels miraculous.
Which makes me think—
maybe this gratitude-filled, lighthearted unfolding is proof that we’ve all shifted together.
Whether we’re related by blood or not, whether we believe in the universal laws or not, whether we’re consciously connected to ourselves or not—
we’re all, in our own ways, rising together into a world of love.
That day, I felt it so clearly.
And it’s happening because we’re holding the same energy in our vortex. Because there’s no wobble in that alignment.
Even without words, we’ve been connected through gratitude—
recognizing each other’s freedom and individuality,
and gently bringing a little bit of unconditional joy into our awareness.
I truly believe this is the result of all the small, intentional steps we’ve taken to build relationships that are rooted in love.
That moment when a problem dissolves—it never fails to move me.
Gratitude overflows.
And there’s a small flutter in my heart, marveling at the quiet magic of it all.
Of course, daily life still brings its share of fear, lack, and low moods. From the outside, nothing may seem different.
But deep within, I know I’m living from a place aligned with love, harmony, and oneness.
And for that, I’m endlessly grateful—
that we’ve all arrived here, together.
