Early Summer Stroll in Higashi-Gotanda and a Verse for Your Soul

On a bright sunny day in May, I walked this path in Tokyo, surrounded by the city buildings. Moving forward under the lush green leaves filled my heart with hope and energy.

A brick walkway in Higashi-Gotanda, Tokyo in May, lined with lush green leaves under a bright, sunlit blue sky with city buildings visible in the background.
Nicely landscaped walkway next to Park Tower Gran Sky
in the Higashi-Gotanda area of Shinagawa. The wide,
tree-lined path makes for a very pleasant stroll, and
there is an Aeon Food Style supermarket right next to it.

Walking through such a vibrant, green path always reminds me of the power of refreshing our minds. Whenever you need a little encouragement today, I hope these words comfort your soul.


Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.
あなたの道を主にゆだねよ。主に信頼せよ。主が成し遂げてくださる。

Psalm 37:5 NRSV


May your day be filled with peace and light.
