　I reached 2009 filled with hope. It is "the Year of the Ox" this year. Various cows were drawn on the New Year's card which arrived. It was various cows such as the cow which seemed to be powerful, the cow which let you feel calmness, the cow which grazed grass quietly, but a certain poetry floated in the heart when I looked at those cows. It is "a cow" of Koutarou Takamura. 

  The cow walks slowly
  The cow is a river on a way in both the field and the mountain, but
  To the place where oneself wants to go
  I go straight
  The cow does not fly free of charge, do not jump free of charge
  But, a dust with a dust
  The cow digs sand and digs soil and splashes a stone
  After all the cow walks slowly
  The cow does not hurry
  The cow relies on the power one paini ground
  I trust power of nature picking oneself up completely
  In a second, a second, as for the cow, taste crawls on own way

 

  But, I plunge into dust and nature, and a dust cuts
  Even if it becomes earlier even if late
  I go own way by oneself

 

  The cow walks slowly
  The cow steps cautiously on the earth and walks
  The cow walks the ordinary earth

  I step cautiously on the earth like this cow step by step and, in everyday life passing busily, want to walk it. But, while a dust tastes a dust and own way. While tasting ordinary every day when is full because I think commonly, and noticing various things.
