Translation

Recently, it has become a habit of mine to go for a walk near the river on weekends. It is said that the sound of flowing water has the effect of relaxing people. When I sit by the river and just watch the water flowing by, my mind clears up. Near the river, the scenery changes significantly depending on the season. In spring, flowers bloom; in summer, the trees grow lush and green; and in autumn, the leaves are dyed in red and yellow. Feeling the changes in nature is an important time for us, who spend such busy days, to organize our minds.
