The Japanese people's openness, harmony, and spirituality 4

On the morning of the spring equinox, I made my way through the trees towards Tamagusuku Gusuku. The weather was splendid, and the whole area seemed to be filled with the energy of a paradise. It felt so pleasant, almost unrecognizable from the place I had hurriedly left with a headache.

After passing through the trees, I climbed up the wooden stairs, and finally passed through the stone-made Sun Gate. While not particularly spacious inside, there were places for offerings and prayers, like the Utaki（A place for offering prayers）.

I walked to the open area on the south side, and the moment I looked down, I had a clear thought, "I was here!" Then, in the next moment, I thought, "I want to live here again!"

The landscape I looked down on was a place I loved, which I circled around in my car twice a day since I moved here. It was the road leading to the Oujima Island and the Hamabe-no-chaya(beachside tea house). Since moving here, I loved this area and couldn't help but drive around it every day. I realized it was the view I used to admire from here.

I was overjoyed, and I fell in love with this place. The next day, I went there again. At that time, I received a different message. In the end, for three months, I went to Tamagusuku Gusuku almost every day. Although I had a paralyzed left leg and had to wear a brace for walking, I could only make it up to the top occasionally, but I went to the parking lot every day.
