no matter how the waves may rise, still, a person rows forward. from one vast sea, countless routes begin to branch, and each small boat quietly turns its bow toward a different future. no one is walking the exact same course as yesterday. the direction you choose is not decided by someone else — you choose it, and you row. in the kanji “派” lives the power to leave the main current, to split away and form a new flow of your own. the rough waves are trials, but because of them, the scenery that eventually opens up ahead will surely be all the more beautiful. even if each boat looks small upon the wide, restless sea, every one of them is alive, moving, searching, pressing on toward an unseen world. it gently tells you: it is all right to follow the branching line of your own path, and keep rowing on.
