Koloa Jodo Mission - Buddhist Temple Since 1910
What is vitality?
What is "desire" like?
How can I express "desire" as an image?
What can be a photo of "I want you"???
The following photos gave me an opportunity to think about these questions. I wonder... how do you imagine the photo?
Interesting? → Please move a cursor down.
Not interesting? → Have a good day and Aloooha!
The other day, I noticed something like a vine growing up to the window inside from the hall.
Do you have any idea what is it? To my biggest surprise, this was....
....a Japanese mountain yam called "Yama-Imo!!!" As soon as I saw this "Yama-Imo", I recalled Mrs. Tanaka gave us for our New Year's Party back in February. This means, this potato has survived without soil and water for over 2 months and was desperately looking for sunlight by growing some vines!
I thought this must be a photo of "I (Yam) want You (sunlight)."
Generally, potato has such a strong vitality to live in a very harsh condition. But I believe we can be stronger as we can learn wisdom!
Last, my apology to Mrs. Tanaka. I'm sorry I forgot to use Yama-imo for the New Year's Party.

Just like the yam, we want light too, sunlight and spiritual light. When we are in the dark, we keep searching until we find it.
