story of『標』
Beneath a clear blue sky,
a gentle mountain breeze dances through the wildflowers.
At the top of the hill,
a single wooden signpost stands quietly.
The grandfather smiles
as he points toward its weathered arrows.
"A signpost has meaning," he says softly,
"only because someone chooses to walk the path."
The young boy gazes toward the distant mountains.
The young girl follows the winding trail into the valley.
Every path leads to a place
they have never seen before.
Life is much the same.
There are days of uncertainty.
Days when we pause.
Days when we wonder which way to go.
Yet a single sign—
a dream,
a hope,
a guiding heart—
can help us begin walking again.
Goals are not meant to be rushed.
They are reached
one step at a time,
with every breeze,
every season,
and every new horizon becoming part of the journey itself.
Bathed in the warm evening light,
the old wooden sign quietly continues
to point the way toward tomorrow.
Kanji Card
Because there is a sign, we can go farther.
