Echizen Washi

My friend had a baby this July, but her baby has a heart disease from her birth. She had spent very hard time in breathing and drinking milk. I visit her in the hospital when I have time.

Yesterday at the hospital I remembered reading a book in Japanese which says chanting `Thank you` can heal any kind of problems. I do chant ` Thank you ` , or ` Arigato ` in Japanese, in every ocasions, but rarely tried to the baby. 

So , I did then. As soon as I started chanting, she fell asleep very deeply in my arms for three hours ! After waking up, she drank 80ml milk at a time ! 

I don't know if you believe this kind of story. But please try to chant ` thank you ` or ` merci ` or ` arigato ` every time you have some problems. There have been unvisible fear from the radiation after the earthquake and tsunami, but the baby gave me a big hope......  We just need not to have anger, fear or any bad feelings, but feel grateful for everything around you.

I always face with inside of myself when I'm making paper ( today's picture).
