Winter Morning

Good morning.
This morning, the air had that crisp, biting cold of winter.
The commuter train was, as always, packed with people lost in their own worlds with their smartphones. Amidst the cold outside and the pure white canvas of the train windows, the colorful scarves and furs of people's winter attire brought a sense of warm color to my heavy eyelids. We seem to feel "warmth" much more in winter, don't we? I tried putting such fleeting thoughts into words.
Please join me for a moment as I reflect on the feeling of heading to work and the chill of winter.

“Winter Morning”
- On a Commuter Train One Day -

Wrapped in colors of their own choosing,
wrapped in their favorite fluffiness,
is because

the world is harsh
and tells us to "stay strong."

Even at times like that,
being able to properly pamper yourself
is warm, isn't it?
