Joy
喜びを雇う

The love that saves us from harm is benign.
The love that saves us from destruction is sublime.

I stand on the shore
near the surf generated roar.

There within my hand
slide the tiny bits of sand.
They fall toward the land
of particulate delight.
These retain shape in sight
when it is light
but not too bright.

Like sand in the hourglass
gravity shows movement pass
as a measure of time moving past
each moment passing the last
until the sand stands fast 
in forever's grasp.

Moment by moment
time foments
the growth of experience
in existence for subsistence.

The nature of things is such
that atoms make this stuff.

All things are made of atoms.
While they can't be seen, they can be fathomed.

Down beneath the visible form
lie the tiny bits that shape the norm.

Imagination lets you 'see' the worms 
of energy squirm.

Lull to rest the savage works of war
that make our government look like a whore.

If faith had not been for something better
than profit from munition's chain letter,
conflict would have to say
to defend our way
is not worth the pay
for the play.

The love that saves us from malice is blessed.
The love that saves us from murder is addressed
as a profoundly professed quest to do our best
to prevent prematurely eternal rest.

Let all those who have been harmed now say
had love not been with us to belay or allay
that which was worse when we were being attacked 
we would have been sacked
or swallowed alive by grief.
There would be no relief.

If love had not been for life,
existence would not know escape from strife.

Adversity would swallow that which is alive.
Enemies would not have to strive.

Their anger was ignited against us.
They took advantage of our trust.

The raging waters would have carried us away.
The mad rushing surge of urgency would have swept us to the bay.

The tumbled rumble of boss in liquid toss crossed
would have cast us against hard objects for our loss.

The rage of water would have overwhelmed us.
There would be nothing left  to discuss.

What a bust!

We escaped the trap that was set for us.
The deception was exposed to sight with a windy gust.

The divisive vice of strife has been broken.
The essential essence of life has been spoken.

Had there not been the experience of ineffable joy
there would be nothing to deter the will to destroy.

Life would not feel like it is worth 
the effort to make a living with work.

We prayed that we would not be made into prey.
We were saved.

Was it only chance that saved us?
We hope for more. Our faith does not fuss
much over such.

Love has power with public peace to aid mortality
to avoid the total fatality of vitality.

Even the work of battle
falls to the chattel of her prattle.

The sun stood still.
The shadow of the moon caused a chill.

It was all quite a thrill.
Time was not killed
but it skipped a trill
in the whirling mill.

Seconds turned to minutes.
Minutes weren't the finish.

The clock tower
rang the number for the hour.

The hours turned to days.
Days became a week of rays.

The weeks became months.
Moonlit gravity played more than once.

The months turned tears to years.
Our fears proved too severe
to adhere as dear.

All will be made clear
if you'll just come over here.

See you later
Allie Gator.

In a while 
you crock of bile.

Is it true
that no one waits for you?

All will be made clear in the fullness of mind.
I look forward to the arrival of such a time.

We have escaped from the snare of the fowler.
Like a bird, flight gives us power.

The meaning of Esther, Ishtar or Easter
is represented by the fertility of leadership in the leader.

If I have won your favor
let us live life as something to savor.

The prayer of faith will save the sick among the living
from the sickness of doubt from sins not forgiven.

Whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in the name of love
will by no means lose the reward of joy that comes from above.

Two stars orbit each other in the head of Medusa.
The tribal order was viewed as exclusively unconducive
to the elusive producer of moolah.



The great producer from the crooked hill
was an answer to prayer for a productive will.

The town of the castle on a hill was not so crass as wonderful.
It would not clip the shell of the girl from the underworld.

The dust inside the village of trust
did not last long before it was debussed.



The small bush of camellia youth
has practical value in finding the steps to truth.

That which seems to be through what is seen
is not just a dream within a dream.

The love that saves us from harm is benign.
The love that saves us from destruction is sublime.



Esther 7:3
Then Queen Esther answered, ‘If I have won your favor and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me—that is my petition—and the lives of my people—that is my request.

James 5:15
The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up; and anyone who has committed sins will be forgiven.

Mark 9:41
For truly I tell you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ will by no means lose the reward.

Confucius 9.28.551 BCE  Qufu, China
孔夫子

孔  Kong       great             ana      hole                 Ko     こ   コ         Gong   공   ball
夫  Fu            husband      otto       husband         shi     し   シ          j a       자   character
子  zi             seed             ko         child

The name Qufu literally means "crooked hill". It refers to a mile-long hill that was part of the city during its time as capital of the state of Lu. Lu (1042–249 BCE) was a vassal state during the Zhou dynasty of ancient China located around modern Shandong province. It was founded in the 11th century BCE.

The area around Qufu was home to the people of Yan during the Shang dynasty (c. 1600 to 1046 BCE). The Shang came before the Xia and Zhou dynasties. The Yan were counted among the "Eastern Barbarians" or Dongyi by the Chinese.

Yan joined the Shang prince Wu Geng and the Three Guards along with Pugu and Xu in their failed rebellion against the Duke of Zhou c. 1042 BCE. The Duke launched punitive campaigns against the Dongyi after the defeat of the rebels to force their submission and place their territory under loyal nobles.

The territory of the Yan became part of the state of Lu. Qufu was their capital throughout the Spring and Autumn period. The name for the period is derived from the Spring and Autumn Annals, a chronicle of the state of Lu between 722 and 479 BCE. Tradition  associates this time with Confucius.

The name "Confucius" is a Latinized form of the Mandarin Chinese "Kǒng Fūzǐ" ("Master Kong"). It was coined in the late 16th century by the early Jesuit missionaries to China. His clan name was Kong. Kong literally means an utterance of thankfulness when prayer has been answered.

His first name was Qiu. His "capping name" was given upon reaching adulthood. He was known to all but his older family members as "Zhòngní." This was his name as the second son of the family. Ni was the hill at which his parents prayed for the birth of another child.

It is thought that Confucius was born on September 28, 551 BCE in the district of Zou near present-day Qufu. The area was nominally controlled by the kings of Zhou but it was effectively independent under the local lords of Lu.

His father Kong He (孔紇) or Shuliang He (叔梁紇) was an elderly commandant of the local Lu garrison. His ancestry traced back through the dukes of Song to the Shang dynasty which had preceded the Zhou. Traditional accounts of Confucius's life relate that Kong He's grandfather had migrated the family from Song to Lu.

Kong He died when Confucius was three years old. Confucius was raised by his mother Yan Zhengzai (顏徵在). His mother would later die at less than 40 years of age. He married Qiguan (亓官) at 19 years old. A year later the couple had their first child, Kong Li (孔鯉). Qiguan and Confucius would later have two daughters together, one of whom is thought to have died as a child.

Confucius was educated at schools for commoners. He studied to learn the Six Arts there. The Six Arts were Rites, Music, Archery, Charioteering, Calligraphy and Mathematics.

Confucius was born into the class of shi (士). This was the class between the aristocracy and the common people. He is said to have worked in various government jobs during his early 20's. He acted as a bookkeeper and a caretaker of sheep and horses. He used the proceeds to give his mother a proper burial. Confucius (aged 23) is said to have mourned for three years in accord with tradition when his mother died.

Confucius was a Chinese teacher, editor, politician and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history (722-479 BCE).

The philosophy of Confucius is also known as Confucianism. It emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. His followers competed successfully with many other schools during the Hundred Schools of Thought era only to be suppressed in favor of the Legalists during the Qin Dynasty.

The thought of Confucius received official sanction following the victory of Han over Chu after the collapse of Qin. His thought was further developed into a system known in the West as Neo-Confucianism. This was developed later into New Confucianism (Modern Neo-Confucianism).

Confucius is traditionally credited with having authored or edited many of the Chinese classic texts including all of the Five Classics. Modern scholars are cautious in attributing specific assertions to Confucius himself. Aphorisms concerning his teachings were compiled in the Analects many years after his death. (479 BCE)

Citta di Castello translates as 'town of the castle.' It is a city in the province of Perugia in the northern part of the Umbria. It is near the border with Tuscany and Marche. The Tiber river flows along its western side. The town was founded by the ancient Umbri and Gallic tribes. It may have entered conflict with the Etruscans.

The Romans knew it as Tifernum Tiberinum ("Tifernum on the Tiber"). Pliny the Younger built his villa in nearby Tuscis. The villa is noted for the walls, mosaic floors and marble fragments surviving at a place now called Colle Plinio, the "Hill of Pliny."

Pliny was a lawyer, author and magistrate under Trajan (r.98-117). He wrote hundreds of letters. His letters to Trajan provide one of the few surviving records of the relationship between the imperial office and provincial governors.

Pliny wrote a letter to Emperor Trajan around 112 as the governor of Bithynia-Pontus in modern Turkey. He asked for counsel on dealing with Christians in the letter (Epistulae X.96).
He  consulted Trajan in order to be on solid ground regarding his actions in the legal investigation of Christians. Trajan's response to Pliny makes it clear that being a Christian was sufficient for punishment, but Christians were not to be tracked down. Anonymous denunciations were to be ignored.

Tifernum was largely destroyed during the Ostrogothic campaign by Fantalogus at the orders of Totila in 550 CE. The town was subsequently rebuilt by its bishop Floridus around a castle. It was renamed first Castru Felicitatis by Lombards and later Civitas Castelli. It went to the Holy See by the donation of the Frankish king Pepin the Short in 752.

It became an independent commune or alliance for defense in the first half of the 12th century.
St Francis established the Eremo di Buonriposo on Monte Citerone about 5 km (~3 mi.) from the city in the early 13th century. It was a stopping place on his way to la Verna. The Commune decided to install a bell there that could be used to warn of any imminent danger of a Visconti invasion in 1352.
 Antonio da Sangallo the Younger built an extensive palace for the Vitelli family in the 15th century.

The city has seen a considerable expansion northwards toward San Giustino towards the end of the 20th century. Industrial parks track the river, railroad and main highway. Several kinds of mechanical goods, textiles, ceramics and furnishings are produced in the area. Agriculture is practiced at an advanced level. The city is the main economic center for the region.

Some historians of art indicate the town as the place of the origin for the Renaissance.

Monica Bellucci was born 30 September 1964 in Città di Castello, Umbria, Italy. She was the only child of Brunella Briganti and Pasquale Bellucci. She grew up in Lama of San Giustino.

Monica is an Italian actress and model. She began her career as a fashion model. She modeled for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana and Dior before making a transition to Italian and later Hollywood films.

She is considered to be one of the most beautiful women in the world.

She is perhaps best known to American audiences for her role as Persephone in the 2003 science-fiction films The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. She played the Bride of Dracula in Francis Ford Coppola's gothic romance film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) and Malèna Scordia in the Italian-language romantic drama Malèna (2000).

She was in the controversial Gaspar Noé arthouse horror film Irréversible (2002). She portrayed Mary Magdalene in Mel Gibson's biblical drama The Passion of the Christ (2004). She later played a Bond girl in the 2015 James Bond film Spectre.

The Tokyo Big Sight convention center was opened in 1996. The center is located in Ariake Minami district of Tokyo Waterfront City on Tokyo Bay waterfront. Its most iconic feature is the visually distinctive conference tower. The name Tokyo Big Sight eventually became the official name. It has also become the name of the operator since April 2003.

The population of Tokyo was recorded as 8,130,408 in 2000.

Gaming systems like the PlayStation 3, the Nintendo Wii, and the Nintendo DS continued to help generate the profits of Japan-based electronic companies like Nintendo and Sony.

Video games released and/or developed in Japan would see an improvement with their physics engine, their artificial intelligence and see their graphics become high definition.

Many young people would live with their parents and spend their time reading manga and watching anime due to the lack of employment for young people in Japan during the first decade of the 21st century.

The average price of gasoline at the end of the 2000s would be $8/gallon. It was unaffordable for most Japanese people to drive long distances.

Anime of the 2000's would include Bleach, One Piece, Kirby of the Stars, Sonic X, Tokyo Mew Mew, Ojamajo Doremi, Gurren Lagann, and Kodai Ōja Kyōryū Kingu. Most of these anime shows mentioned here would also go on to relative success in North America and Europe in the 2000's. Tokyo Mew Mew became Mew Mew Power for example while Ojamajo Doremi became Magical Doremi.

Ono Mizuho was born on September 29, 2000 in Tokyo, Japan.

Omizu (おみず) is a Japanese pop singer under Hello! Project as a member of Tsubaki Factory. She was introduced alongside seven other girls at the Hello Pro Kenshuusei on May 4, 2015.

It was announced on August 13, 2016 at Tsubaki Factory's fanclub event that Ono had joined the group as new member alongside Onoda Saori and Akiyama Mao.

Ono was a first year high school student when she joined Tsubaki Factory. She graduated from high school this last year.

She joined Hello Pro Kenshuusei because she loved Hello! Project and wanted to be a part of it. Her dream was to join a cute and cool unit under Hello! Project. Her future dream is to have many people know Tsubaki Factory.
