THE SIMPSON DESERT

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話名古屋 Heart to Heart at 3:03 pm on Thursday, July 17, 2008

You can find these marvelous naturally formed rock structures

in the middle of the desert in Australia.

I lived so close to them for nearly 1 year, about 20 years ago!

I walked into the office that I share with my friends in Nagoya,

Japan and to my surprise and delight, saw this picture displayed

on the cabinet stand!

Memories flooded back from my confusing times of being a

youth and this was when I had left my family at 17 years old; to

start my personal journey searching for the truth.

My heartbeat quickened as I remember sinking my body down

on the hot sandy earth; at the foot of these great big orange rebirths.

I remember putting my little arms around those big beautiful

beasts and feeling so small in that mysterious retreat.

I was lost in the vast desert for such a long time, but now

the road that I have found, has made me complete and onward bound.

Just to think that a picture on the wall at our office, could

lead me to reminiscing about the things in life that were so bittersweet!

hallow,

such a strange coincidence that you had this encounter with a past moment. today i walked into an aquarium and brought back memories of my childhood, it was like feeling those days in my skin.

everyday i remember a past event that makes me smile and sometimes that special moment is so present that is like receiving this buzz that lifts your spirit and keeps you going for the day, is a great fixer if you are feeling under the weather!

so long, so far, see you round and rounder!

Hi there Toshio

Memories are good when recollected on the spot.I believe
there are no coincidences and we are are all connected through the eternal sequence of life`s slots.
Which aquarium in Japan did you go to today,in order for you to relay to you about your childhood display?I love the underwater world for its majestic colours and wonder. I hope you continue to have happy memories that
help to pull you out of the chunder…

“Just to think that a picture …., could
lead me to reminiscing about the things in life that were so bittersweet!”

I love this moment.
Bittersweet experience is tough to face at now, but when I think it back as a memory, everything will be very nice memory.

Mitsuyoshi, Reeney and Toshio
Something that may be able to help you through in times of change is TO TREAT MISERIES AS GIFTS FROM THE DIVINE.
Why is this so? Because it will show you how to work through tough times and, during this process you will learn about yourself and hopefully realize that whatever has happened is for your development as a person. Take note as to how you work through these times and the trick is not to react the same way; if it hasn`t been successful in the past…Find new ways to create your future for a more positive outcome….
