因幡志に描かれた浦富海岸千貫松島
"What endurance does the pine islet on a rough shore reveal?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This is an illustration from a gazetteer holding Senganmatsushima on the Uradome coast of Tottori, Japan. A pine standing lonely upon a rocky islet meets the fierce sea wind. In this single pine I see the strength of holding one's place. At the barren rock's edge, in a place where waves strike without end, the pine sinks its roots and endures. It is not that one cannot live because the ground is poor; it is the one who takes root in any ground that survives. Endurance is made not by circumstance but by will.

Before blaming conditions, first find the way to take root in that very place.
