May 1st



As each day turns into another, let it be a fresh departure point for us to build a new, improved self. With each heaving new breath of life, let us feel like we are born once again, and dash forward to the best of our ability. Let us set the pace to enjoy a satisfactory today and determine to make giant strides tomorrow.

-- Daisaku Ikeda

日々新たにして日に日に新たなりー
今日も生まれ変わった生命の息吹で
全力で走りゆくことだ
今日の満足と、明日への飛躍とー
