We love to plant trees along the roads. This is not done necessarily to suggest a destination for pedestrians nor to provide an opportunity for unexpected encounters. I look at it as a way to enjoy distractions. Life can be described in terms of destinations or a series of choices, but it also has plenty of distractions. The gingko leaves are beginning to turn the vibrant yellow of the fall. By this time, the female trees are full of fragrant fruit and sprinkle them on the road. Some people hate the smell and avoid going near the fruit, but other don't hesitate to pick them up from off the road to serve for dinner. In this sense, life consists of many distractions, and we love them.

Mr. Taniguchi,
I commend you on what you have achieved so far for the Movement for International Peace by Faith.
This picture with the hundreds of trees reminded me of the thousands of languages that are dying on the road to the future, because only a few national languages are being taught in schools.
I would like you to comment, if possible, on the issue of the possible adoption of an international auxiliary language such as Esperanto by every nation, as a means of maintaining their own language and culture.
If such a planned language were adopted as a second language to every nation, we would have one less reason for war in the world, for many of the miscomprehensions of today are born out of language differences and cultural misunderstandings.
I believe that language ecology is also an important issue in the world today.
Thank you very much!
