seventeen

Good Afternoon.

17 years have passed from the earthquake in 'Hanshin' yesterday(Jan 17th).

At that time I was 17 years old .

The tremendous shock made me awake early in the morning.

 That was like someone harshly beat the bottom of my bed .

As time goes by , we came to see what's going on and thought how powerless we were 

in front of the power of nature.

Fortunately , I'm still alive and became 34 years old in last July .

But I couldn't forget what I see in Kobe after the earthquake .

Me and my Dad put mask on and walked around the ruined scenery

without talking much.  

Let us say a prayer for those who passed away and also every living things.

Sincerely
