	The sad forest the strange birds are flying among silent castles. This homepage, written in Japanese in October 21, 2006, was translated into English in November 3, 2006.

			      
		This is sad forest. Why, did you ask me why this is sad forest ? All right, I will tell you its reason if you insist like that. It is because I am not in this forest in spite of being in this forest together with strange birds. But, this utterance includes the terrible contradiction considerably. So, for the moment, for me, would it be better to say I have not confidence in this utterance so ? Anyhow, I were forced to keep the very strange relationship like that between this forest and me by someone. In spite of that, I can see and know all things about this forest clearly. It was because I am certainly in this forest in spite of being not here. Anyhow, thick coniferous forest are spreading endlessly in front of my eyes whenever I see. And, among the coniferous trees, it can see the countless castles the Satan and witches made sleep are standing silently here and there. It was the castles kings very famous in spite of being terribly vicious and greedy, at the real world, are living in each.
			       
		But, now, it can't hear even slight sound at the castles at all. It was because the kings were falling into the frozen congealed condition at the castle they each lived in. In that meaning, the kings also weren't there in spite of being there. "The luxury the monarch enjoys is the symbol of the national power. Therefore, I, to defend the people and make the people happy, enjoys the luxury, wages the wars.". "Because it can't improve the performance of the weapons if it doesn't wage a war. Then, the soldiers also don't come to be strong, isn't it ?". "Therefore, to defend the people, we aren't allowed to lack a war and my luxury.". The kings in the real world were deceiving the people, saying like that together with their followers always. To tell the truth, it is that they were waging the wars, to rob other countries of the wealth and dodge the dissatisfaction the people feel about the politics.
		   
	But, many of the people weren't noticing the thing unfortunately. Rather, it is that the people, caught in the vote-catching policy the king plots, supported the king passionately. As you thought, it was the natural course that the people suffered the terrible pain soon. The persons having gained the benefit in the wars were only the vicious kings and its few followers.
		            
	However, the lie is similar to dry ice very much. So, it is that the vicious kings, freezing little by little because of one's lie everytime they tell a lie, were shut in the icicle at last. It is because all lies freeze the person having told a lie, with obstructing his thinking. By any chance, would you think it is difficult a little to understand this matter ? But, since it isn't so difficult, listen to me for a while. The antinomy coming to be clear rapidly between the truth and the lie. And, the kings' unconscious mind wanting the thing one's lie is truth. As a matter of fact, these matters obstruct the logical consistency of their thinking terribly. In that reason, it is that they were obliged to freeze in the delusion, ignoring the fact because of one's lie. It was natural that they were shut in the icicle finally, falling into the condition their thinking froze completely soon. However, since they froze stiff as if it is a glacier, this forest is peace very much. Various colored strange birds are flying soundlessly without the flapping of wings among the coniferous trees and the castles sinking deeply in the forest. Yes, even if it is sad forest for me, it was the gentle peaceful forest for the birds.
		       
	Needless to say, since they are bird living in this forest, it isn't common bird. Doubtlessly, the blue birds flying there are blue bird in question that Maeterlinck imagined for expressing good luck. In passing, I don't know when the blue bird increased very much like this though it is in the same situation as the yellow bird now. But, it would be certain the yellow birds are the canaries having forgotten singing. To tell the truth, the canary having forgotten singing had disappeared out of this world, taking the advantage of the situation forced to ride in a small boat on a stream considerably before. I have been anxious lest she should lose one's way. But, it was unexpected she is here, increasing like this now, isn't it ? Certainly they can spend free time without anxiety it is forced to sing, as long as they are here. It may be natural that they escaped to this forest, getting tired of the insistent bashing.
				     
			However, contrary to the yellow birds, as for the green birds, it often is singing with the showy behavior "This world is the rose colored world able to do all things". But, be careful ! It is because it is the temporary shape of the bird called a red lie bird or a double tongues bird. Anyhow, I were astonished, noticing the double tongues bird is advancing into even this forest. Probably, they had increased in the real world too much. So, it must be that it overflowed into this forest out of the real world one after another. However, as the proverb says "the lie comes true as a time", the green birds often change to the blue bird here in spite of the temporary shape of double tongues bird. And, it never again go back to red lie bird if it evolves like that once. It was genuine blue bird persistently.
		        
	Would it mean a person not refusing the believing is rescued ? Anyhow, this strange phenomenon was the fine gift from this forest. In other words, this forest also was the place the spirit of hope to be in Pandora's box lives in. However, there is one problem about the thing. Though I can see all things of this forest, the living things in this forest don't know the existence of me at all. In other words, the blue birds also don't know the existence of me at all. It seems that it is because the living things in this forest can't distinguish me from the sight of this forest at all. Perhaps, it would be the devil's handwork. In that meaning, I, in spite of being in this forest, as it thought, were not here. In other words, the existence of me was concealed by someone, probably by devil secretly. I am not even a transparent person any longer. If so, what kind of existence would I be ? So, I recollect the words of ghost suddenly. By any chance, would I be ghost ?
