ARIGATOU! SHOUNEN * Benefit Calligraphy for SAVE THE CHILDREN Japan

I did the benefit calligraphy on Kodomonohi ( spring children's day ) this month.
I made specially designed name-calligraphy for many people.
I would like to note that
I donated around 50 euro to the SAVE THE CHILDREN Japan.
The money will be used for mental care & support of children who lost families in damaged area in TOHOKU.

I thank you very much for your compassion and empathy.
Ariagtou.

SHOUNEN

Zen word, Right Mindfulness

One of the noble eight fold paths
Keeping the mind alert to phenomena
that affect the body and mind.

My interpretation :
The right mindfulness is the balanced focus on
body, feelings, mind and mental qualities - both * in and of * four elements.
SHOUNEN could be one of the most positive energy indeed we can practice and develop.
