STARS AND DANDELIONS
Deep in the blue sky,
like pebbles at the bottom of the sea,
lie the stars unseen in daylight
until night comes.
You can't see them, but they are there.
Unseen things are still there.

their strong roots unseen.
You can't see them, but they are there.
Unseen things are still there. — Misuzu Kaneko

The existence of luck also reminds us that our activities are less repeatable.
