Fortune
漸漸濃雲散
看看月再明
逢春華草秀
雨過竹重青
In English
- Little by little the thick clouds scatter
- and before your eyes the moon shines again
- meeting spring, flowers and grasses flourish
- after the rain, the bamboo is green once more
- Meaning
- The poem closes with bamboo turning greener once the rain has passed. Paired with the opening, where thick clouds thin out little by little, it reads as a gentle promise that things settle on their own if you give them time.
- What to do today
- Open a window and let fresh air into the room for a few minutes.
- A word from the capybara
- Sheltering in the bamboo grove until the rain stops was a fine idea.
The explanations added by each temple differ. The poems and fortunes follow an Edo-period printed edition.
