Quiet Friends
-
Moi and Pi are friends.
They don't talk a whole lot,
but they seem to spend every hour, minute, second of their lives. -
One day, a bright and shiny day,
these two were having an unhurried time together. -
One day, a dark and gloomy day,
these two were on an idle quest. -
One day, a drippy and rainy day,
these two were sitting still. -
One day, a gleaming and starry night,
these two were staring into the sky. -
One day, at the dawning of the day,
these two were walking to nowhere. -
One day, the waning moon in the sky,
these two were chuckling together.
These two are always quiet.
Day after day, joyous in quiet.
The End
About this story
This is the story of Moi the caterpillar and Pai the snail. They spend their time together in
quiet, peaceful moments. They share the same moments, in the same place, in the same space.
Just being together turns every moment into a moment of happiness.
This story is themed around the essence of 'happiness'. I believe that happiness is composed
of many elements. This includes the scent of the air when feeling happy, the rustling of the
wind, exchanged conversations, the sunlight of that moment, and the relationship with
someone important. All of these are encompassed in the word 'happiness'. This story is a
work that fully expresses the time and space where one feels happiness. Each time I read
this story and see them spending time together, I too feel the happiness of living with my
partner, Mine.
In fact, Moi is the protagonist of "Good Morning, Mr. Caterpillar". I am pleased that Moi,
who initially couldn't even greet someone, has now found a friend to spend time with.
