📕 This Week's Special Feature: Follower Picture Book Series
"Looking at the Heart, Putting it into Words"
— Hiyori, 5 years old —
⸻
🟡 Emotion: A Quiet Beginning / Before Words
Hiyori sits by the window.
The curtains sway, and light falls on the floor.
Hiyori says nothing.
She just has a thoughtful look in her eyes.
⸻
🟡 "A Restless Heart"
When Hiyori's
own heart
feels a bit restless,
she doesn't
put it into words right away.
⸻
🟡 "The Heart Shrinks and Hides"
You see, the heart,
when it gets surprised,
shrinks down small
and hides away.
⸻
🟡 "Asking the Heart"
That's why Hiyori,
first
asks, "What happened?"
I will ask
my heart.
⸻
🟡 "Lining up emotions"
I was sad,
I was frustrated
But
actually,
I was lonely.
⸻
🟡 "None of them are wrong"
Hiyori
gently says to her heart,
“None of them
are wrong.”
⸻
🟡 "The weight of words"
Words,
if too strong,
will hurt someone.
If too gentle,
you will end up hiding yourself.
⸻
🟡 "The words in the middle"
Hiyori
searches for
the words in the middle.
⸻
🟡 "A Distant Back"
"I didn't like it."
"It made me sad."
But
I don't "hate" them.
⸻
🟡 "Yesterday and Today"
Yesterday's Hiyori
was crying a little.
Today's Hiyori
is properly
breathing.
⸻
🟡 "Connected"
People
don't have to become strong right away.
As long as
they are properly
connected,
that is enough.
⸻
🟡 "....."
No text.
Hiyori opens her notebook,
writes nothing,
and just holds a pen.
⸻
🟡 "Words protect the heart"
Words are not for
letting out, but
for protecting
your heart.
—
🟡 "Even on days when words won't come"
Even if
there are days when words won't come
That is
a sign that
your heart
is truly alive..........

🌸 Mini Koume's Poem
Important feelings
are always
waiting
just one step
before words

🌙 Sister Koume
A spoonful of night
"It's okay to have times when you stay silent.
That's not slacking off.
It's 'preparing' for life."

🗓 Next week's maxim/preview
"A morning where you've rested properly
is a morning where you're moving forward properly."
More next week.

🌅 Bridging to the morning maxim
Even if this morning
was too quiet,
that is
a deep breath
before the next step.

🧓 Editor-in-Chief JiJi-Bee's Afterword
Morning, you see,
isn't a time to get energized,
I think it's a time to check your own presence.
Still alive today.
That alone is a pass.
Well then,
have a good day.
🌱 A line to keep after reading
It's okay to properly cherish the feelings before they become words.
