💧“Rowan tree. Why is it called ‘Seven Stoves’?”
🌿“My wood is hard and doesn’t burn easily.”
💧“So?”
🌿“They say it won’t burn even if you put it in the stove seven times.”
💧“Just from the name, you can tell it’s sturdy.”
🌿“The flowers are small and white, and it bears red berries in the fall.”
💧“I saw them a lot in Hokkaido.”
🌿“That’s because they grow in cold places, too.”
💧“What’s the flower’s meaning?”
🌿“‘Caution’ and ‘Wisdom.’”
💧“…Be cautious even before you burn it.”
🌿“That’s wise.” 😆

💧"The Droplet of the Rowan"

Story by Aqua

On a snowy morning,
a single droplet rested
on the red berries of the rowan tree.

“Aren’t you cold?” asked the wind.
The droplet shimmered with a smile.
“A little,” it said,
“but inside this berry, it’s warm.”

The rowan said nothing,
only swayed its branches gently.
Its fruit, like wood that endures seven firings,
**stood firm, kind, and quietly lit the winter.**

Wrapped in that warmth,
the droplet sank into the snow,
watching over the first signs of spring.

It was—
**a droplet of life,
born in the cold,
carrying warmth.**
