霧雨が降る日は、近所の公園を散歩。
一時間ほど、雨に混じる土と緑の香りを楽しむ。
咲き誇る紫陽花は、この季節ならでは。
凛と伸びるユリの花に、しばし、うっとり。
昔から、白いユリが大好き。
「立てば芍薬、座れば牡丹、歩く姿は百合の花」
ユリの花のように、背筋を伸ばし、楚々とした佇まいで歩きたいものだ。
I took a one-hour walk in my nearby park on a drizzling day.
Earthy and green aromas made me feel refreshed.
Hydrangeas in full bloom were seasonal and gorgeous, and
a few different kinds of lilies fascinated me.
Especially white ones attracted me the most. I love white lily.
They remind me of a Japanese saying......
"Tateba shakuyaku, Suwareba botan, Aruku sugatawa yurino hana"
When admiring the grace of a lady, we often use this saying, meaning "she looks like a Chinese peony when standing, like a tree peony when sitting, and like a lily while walking."
Like a white lily, I want to walk, behave, and live with grace and dignity!
