The Neighborhood
I am going back to this space soon … Grateful for the freedom and for the understanding family who sees the value in taking care of another more vulnerable. One must advocate for the vulnerable, and be their voice if they are feeling powerless and lonely.
It is not called a sacrifice if one does not resent that effort. What kind of a mother for example regrets being there for her child. The care you give them today will return in multi-folds and besides, itsn’t it about giving or devoting your energies without expecting a return.
So it is the same with role reversals. Only this time there is no return other than that conscience wanting nothing more than life of no regrets.

Noriko Ibaragi poem
二人のコック Two Chefs
憎しみが If a dash of hatred can be
愛の貴重なスパイスなら much valued spice for love
それが少々足りなかった 二人のコックの調理には that spice was a bit lacking in their menu
で so that
こくのあるポタージュにはならず their cooking did not yield creamy rich potage
二十五年かかって澄んだコンソメスープになりました rather, clear consomme soup after a span of 25 years
でも 嘯(うそぶ)きましょう Pretending, as though to not know, blowing too cool down a spoonful of hot soup
おいしいコンソメのほうが はるかに難しい Making a delicious consomme is far more challenging
そのつくりかたに関してはと As far as making of it is concerned
