Unconditional Acceptance

"Unconditional acceptance"

is something I feel, every time I arrive in Japan

---

At the border control in Tokyo airport

I do not have to feel anything

I do not have to feel that anxiety

That slight anxiety, which we always feel at the border in a foreign country;

"......Perhaps I will be rejected to enter 'their country' for whatever reason......"

---

This is my base
This is my country
This is where I was born & became "me" today

Who can deny this absolute fact in my life?

Who can deny this "truth" in me?

Who can steal this "truth" from me?

---

The more I leave Japan & come back,
the more my emotional bond deepens

The more I leave Japan & come back,
the more I can't stop appreciating to the fact that I still have this place

The more I leave Japan & come back,
the more I become certain "This is the only place"

And I don't need any other place
