My First Ozoni of 2026
This morning, I made ozoni.
I used dashi from my cousin
and homemade rice cakes from my neighbor.
At that moment, I realized something.
Everything I need is already in my hands.
Not “I don’t have,”
but “I already have.”
Last year, my mother was in the hospital,
and I felt lost.
I didn’t know which way to go.
But it was like a small light
appeared in front of me.
I followed the signs,
and they led me to the best path.
This first ozoni of 2026
gently reminded me,
“You already have enough.”
I hope everyone can feel that
everything is going well.
It’s a good start.
This year, I will not worry too much.
I will trust the signs
and enjoy the journey
with what I already have.
