how long have i been away from here…
from last winter
to spring, summer…
and now it's the end of autumn
among these days and months
we have moved to a new place
we have settled near a mountainside
at a house under a big sawtooth oak tree
there is a deep valley you can see in front
kids started going to new school
me also trying to get used to the new everyday life
mostly staying at home, sometimes taking a walk around
the country road, finding nature treasures everytime i go out
trying to hear my soul
dont know where to go
but it leads me somewhere…
to the light ahead
and to the depth inside myself
letting the light lit in me
in the twilight
pale orange into deep watery blue
the silhouette of the trees
clearly seen dark and thin
夕暮れの空
薄い橙から透きとおった深い水の色へ
とおく裸の木が
濃いシルエットとなって
i was a bit busy by
felting wool to sell at my boy's waldorf school fair
and preparing for my workshop held twice at my space
on baking bread last week
(well, i enjoyed them very much though)
but through the days
what made me soothed
was the simple words my friend taught me:
when you see and accept things as they are
the spirits of the things can be free
and they become light(s)
it helped a lot like
when my space was mess
and i was almost trying not to see it.
i took these things in my hands or faced things to do
and felt like talking to them 'thanks'
the words also lit myself deep inside...
and took me into silence
忙しい日々を送っていると
こころもガサガサしてくることがある
やることはいくらでもあって
部屋中が散らかっていても、
無意識に目をそむけてたりして。
そんな時とても助けになったのが
祝祭のまなびのなかで出会ったことば
物質はそのままでは昇華することはできないけれど
私たちが意識をむけることで
そこに宿る精霊は解きはなたれ、ひかりとなる
ほんとうに。
雑然とした物事にこころを向け
散らかっている物達をそっと手にとる
その時点ですでに それらはひかりとなっている
まるで特別な存在のように
手にとる仕草も丁寧に
そんな時、わたしのこころにもひかりが灯る
聴こえない耳鳴りがやみ
静けさがきこえる
ふかいところに静けさと光がやどる
