Poem: "Just a Little Bit"
As I sat gazing at the waves, this poem came to mind.
"Listening intently to the sound of the waves, I think.
Crashing, crashing, they repeat.
Always there, unchanging, in the past and in the present.
No matter what happens, they are always there, unchanging.
With the same rhythm, crashing, crashing.
But if you look closely, the scenery is different from yesterday.
Even if it looks the same, it is not the same.
Sometimes clear, sometimes murky.
Sometimes whitecaps appear, sometimes it is calm like a mirror.
Sometimes small fish school at the water's edge, sometimes big fish leap.
Sometimes seashells are washed up, sometimes seaweed floats by.
Little by little, it is different from yesterday.
It has changed just a little bit.
Just a little bit.
Why does it change?
Because everything is alive.
And me?
I am alive, too.
Must I change as well?
I want to stay like this forever, but...
I must change.
I want to stay here like this forever, but...
It would be boring if it were always the same.
Let me try taking a step forward, just a little bit.
Just a little bit.
Because I feel that something different from now is waiting for me beyond that.
Surely, tomorrow will be just a little bit different."
