Today I had a bowl of cereal.

hotel okay then I said itadakimasu as usual but of course I have so I mean first I mean it means like I humbly accept a bowl of cereal with fruits but but the thing is that it's not just ends there because those both cereals were provided by the people who worked at the hotel some people prepared for me some people cooked for me

And then also fruits.

Those fruits, somebody grew those grapes, apples.

Somebody.

And then in order to pick those fresh fruits, they had to grow with sun, soil, rain, water.

And then even though just a bowl of cereal and just with the fruits,

But if you started thinking that way, you can see, you know, invisible, unknowable network.

It's such a, it's just, it's a more self, it's such a miracle thing.

And then, and that evokes gratitude.

I can even, I can tell this right now in the moment too.

Like you read my book.

And see, I came here and it started, you know, you gave me opportunity to talk about what I experienced, my personal tiny experience.

But I feel gratitude because you gave, you invited me here.

Give me a microphone.

And so that I can talk and reach out to the people that I haven't met.

And so there's a lot of stuff that I can feel appreciation for.

And that is my daily life.

That's what I do.
