ENG “In Hiroshima” 1

From the window of a high-rise building, I gaze out upon the city and feel the gentle breath of its people. Though history can be cruel, people rise from it, believing in the human capacity to guide the present forward. And so, those who live through today, with quiet perseverance, are beautiful. Even without knowing where the road may lead, each person senses a light and melts gently into time. And thus, the city, once again today, continues to breathe.
