It's a song of Dan Fogelberg , from the album " The Wild Places ".
I was also the one shocked at the news that Dan Fogelberg departed from his life of prostate cancer.
Back then, when Chikuzen Satou made a release of his new cover works, I thought of " Rhythm of the Rain " by Dan in this album.
It was just after that when the news of the passing of Dan Fogelberg came to me.
Yesterday was four years since then.

Now today's main story:

I met a new friend from one of the stricken prefecture of 3.11 earthquake.
And I heard on the radio news about how invitation of atomic power plant was sidestepped into money game.
Since then, I began to learn hastily about this problem and realized how I had been "blind to the truth".
I might be the one being the pot calling the kettle black -but while the electric power company on charge and the government are still saving their own skin, discrimination due to harmful rumor is still going on by being "blind to the truth" -and the actual harm is going on, too.
It happened that a movie describing the tragedy of nuclear power plant disaster was on at a nearby theater -and I went to watch:
Calina used to live in a village with her parents and Grandmother.
But after the accident of Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the family was separated; her father was working in Moscow to earn hospital charges, her mother was in hospital due to the illness caused by radioactivity, and she was living with her relatives in the city.
She longed for her grandmother's house and village next to the forbidden area.
One day, she asked Mother in hospital why they couldn't go back to the village to live together, Mother explained that there is a castle of devil scattering poison in Chernobyl .
She believed that God would defeat the devil.
But in that winter, Grandmother came down with illness, Mother's condition got worse, and finally, she was struck down by illness.
She wished that if she were God, she would defeat the devil, clean the polluted village at once, and save her family and friends and all the people fighting against their illness...
She made up her mind to go to "devil's castle" and have the devil stop scattering poison.

Who can fulfill her wish?
Again, I wondered why they built "devil's castles" beyond the control although once it gets out of control, the damage is left indefinitely -this is my artless question so far.
Some people might have realized that I seldom mention about movies in this weblog - but somehow I expect this movie might spread eventually.

While I was grappling with this composition, another news came to me that it would take forty years to decommission the nuclear plants at the stricken area - there might be a suspicion of an underestimate .
Blind to the Truth ", Dan Fogelberg sang that the judgment day would come .
I wonder if we are already under the "judgment day", or it is to be coming up yet...
