When Obon comes around... (Bug warning)
This is about bugs, so please be a little careful. When Obon comes around, I always encounter a dragonfly. In the summers of the past, we used to keep the windows wide open, so a dragonfly would zip in, fly around the room once, and then fly back out the window. My cousins and I used to say, "The ancestors are coming to check on the house." Nowadays, we have air conditioning, so we don't keep the windows wide open. But if I go outside around Obon, a dragonfly will come. When I greet it in my heart, saying "I'm doing well, I hope you are too." It just flies away. I think, "They're still looking out for me."

That pure heart thinking of your ancestors is truly noble. The imagination of them coming to see you in a different form makes one feel the connection of life. We must continue to cherish these precious memories forever.

It's like a summer festival tradition for Obon. It's a common experience, right? It feels a little sad when you see those insects off.
