It is good to restrain one's mind, uncontrollable, fast moving, and following its own desires as it is. A disciplined mind leads to happiness.

things and thoughts
ゼラニウム zeraniumu
in an old woman's garden
she brings me in
to take a picture
hers as or more beautiful than her neignbor's
many kinds of geraniums , with scent 香りのゼラニウム (kaori no zeraniumi)
when asked
patiently tells again and again "zeraniumi, zeraniumi"
and
points to fragrant
wax-leafed ligustrum Japonica

rigusutoramu:
"The fruit is said to be a nutrient tonic. Extracts of the plant show antibacterial, antiulcer and hypotensive activity."
"The roasted seed is a coffee substitute. Young shoots - cooked. A famine food, used when all else fails. The shoots contain a glycoside and are probably toxic."

I think of the wild geranium
Gennoshouko (Japanese Geranium)
