Today we cerebrated Independent Day holiday. During the daytime, we watched the movie at the theater. And the evening, we went to the local park to watch the firework show. As our town is quite small, the audience was small too. The fireworks was held at the local park. Some people walked there while others came by car. There were no traffic jam or full of cars parked. Very quiet and calm. It is peaceful to watch people greet each other. That is how we enjoy the privilege living in small town.
Maybe it is normal for the local people who grew up the place like here.
As for me, I grew up in a big city. In order to go see the firework show, I needed to take the public bus and train, then walked from the closest station. It took me more than one hour to get there.
The public transportation always got very crowded by the firework audience. Every year, after the firework show, I saw some sad news that people, especially kids, got hurt by being squished. This is what I don’t miss by living in my hometown in Japan. I don’t miss taking the public transportation with so many people.
While watching the firework show, I was thinking about such differences between my hometown in Japan and my current living place in America.
I see my energetic situation as in energy roots. During my first some years in America, I had missed my hometown in Japan. I often complained about everything and everybody in this current place where I live. My energetic roots were left in Japan. It created an unbalanced situation. My physical body existed in America, but my energetic roots were still in Japan. And that was why I had a hard time adjusting myself to this current land.
After eight years have passed, however, I have noticed myself energetically rooted to this land where I currently live. My energetic roots were finally transferred to this current living place and it makes me easy to live here. I started seeing differently than before. I started fully loving everything in this land; both everything and everybody.
