コーラとマシュマロが豊かにお喋りする日記

塔 陸上の灯台 . Tower, the light house for whom is traveling on land.

In the past, people were easily lost in the forest without actually map or GPS navigation.

 

Like what the sailors do on the ocean, find direction by sun's position or stars', know that they are arrived when they see the light of light house of wharf. 

 

People in old time could know they are approaching somewhere people lived when they knew there was a tower.

 

Old Chinese tower usually locals in a temple or on the half of mountain near city and market. Most of them are higher than anything near so they are easily seen when walking in the forest or ancient mainroad with bricks, stones or budds. 

 

In another way travelers are able to know there is a tower is the small bells hanging on the eckes of each level's eaves.

 

They ring when wind blows.

 

寒い春で旅の夜に、風が撫でて、鈴の音と木の葉の擦れる声と、近くは安全だと知りの安全感。

 

This is the magic of a tower in the old time. How can we say we are not looking forward to a tower that shows we are becoming closer and closer.

 

Or I shulould know you are the tower. Even I can't see you but I know you are near, in shaving the moon light flowing through the leaves which is caused by blowing of the little cold spring wind tonight.
