Yesterday morning I walked 10 km by myself, following the same route that I used last summer. It has a lot of ups and downs as well as following roads without too much traffic, so it is quite pleasant to walk. I left my apartment just as the sun was coming up and discovered that the moon had risen in the west. As I started out, the moon was framed by one of the apartment buildings on the left and our multi-story parking garage on the right.
Towards the end of the route, I pass through
Mizu no Mori Koen (Water Forest Park). I was listening to a lecture about Buddhism on my iPod and the speaker's voice was drowned out by a loud noise. I shut off the lecture and followed the noise to the side of the pond, the
mizu, where I discovered a woman feeding the birds. I stood an watched for a long while, before continuing home.
