////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I introduce ''石'' on this time.

The stone in the mountain is rugged.
The stone in the river is round.

There must have been a lot of collisions.
But,
the all the stones roll peacefully together in the last.

Will we be the same, too?


I introduce ''岩'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
