ここはＪＲ坂元駅のホーム。br/ 周りは全て流され、荒れ果てる。br/ どこまでも続く一本道のよう。br/ まるで、深い悲しみや苦悩もずっと続いていくかのよう。br/ そんな中でも、草花は生きている。br/ 生きているldquo;今rdquo;を大事に、明るく輝く未来へと続く道にしたい。br/ br/ span class="small"strongＭＩＫＡ/strongbr/ 宮城県山元町 2012年9月 撮影/spanbr/ _______________________________br/ br/ This used to be a Japan Railways station platform. Everything around it was washed away and destroyed, and itrsquo;s a barren wasteland now.br/ It looks like a lone road stretching on forever, as if our sorrow and suffering will go on forever, too.br/ Amidst all this, the plant life is thriving.br/ Treasuring the life we are living right now, we will make this a road to a bright, new future.br/ br/ span class="small"strongMIKA/strongbr/ Photo: Yamamoto Town, Miyagi Prefecture, September 2012/spanbr/ span class="small"*Translatorrsquo;s Note: This is a song lyric from the Japanese version of ldquo;Irsquo;ve Been Working on the Railroad.rdquo;/span
