Ubuyama Lightning


Today is cloudy. Lightning shocks the dark grey clouds as light mists hover over the rows of lush, green cedars.


And the kids... The fifth graders from the bigger of the two elementary schools gave me going away notes because it was my last class with them today.


The love that these kids are showering on me almost knocks me over, literally. Now I understand even better the ways in which kids will our love for them. It really works. (By the way, their teacher helped them with these, just so you know. Still, it's impressive).





Now the rain is falling hard and I am going to miss my little shogakkusei (elementary school children) and their anime drawings.
