人間らしい日々を求めて

　人生に花が咲かない私は、その代わり、庭は森のようにして花を咲かせます。サルスベリは咲き出して今日で９５日目になり、文字通り、もうすぐ百日紅です。お陰で私は心が満たされ寂しさが半減し、バランスが取れているのでしょう。日々、剪定と水遣りを通じ花を眺めてます。植物たちは日々の世話に対し、開花という形で応えてくれるので、音楽同様に、私の楽しみの極みです。

　ところで、心配をお掛けしました腰痛はもうすっかり回復しました。昨夕はおかずが足らないので暗くなってからスーパーまで往復１．５Kほどを歩き、小さなイカを購入してきました。これが結果的に夕食前のウォーキングになり、適度な運動と食事のバランスで寂しい中にも美味しい夕食になりました。

　このバランスということは生活上で大切に感じます。脳も同様で、特に高齢期になってから「人に何でもしてもらう習慣になると」自ら考える必要がなくなり、生きる上で大切な「発想力、創造性」が半減します。延いては、生きる力、生きる喜びまで半減し、人間らしい喜怒哀楽がなくなり、人生がもったいないです。

　明日は二十四節気の「霜降」です。今まで就寝中、夏蒲団のみでしたが、昨晩から毛布も使いました。季節はいよいよ寒冷に向かいます。可能な限り、地区の人、有難いフェイスブック友人と連絡を密にし、いつまでも温かな繋がりをお願いできたらと望んでいます。これからもアクセスと感想をお待ちしてます。

Dear my friends who are crazy about raising the flowers and great music.

The simultaneous interpretation into English for our mutual understanding will be done after my breakfast in Japan time.

.............................................

　Since my heart doesn't have flowers in my daily life due to living alone, instead of this situation, I make my garden a forest and let them bloom. For instance, today marks the 95th day since my crape myrtle first bloomed at my birthday, and it will literally blooms during 100 days indicated in Kanji. Thanks to this blossom, my heart is filled, my loneliness is halved, and I feel balanced. I prune and water the plants every day and enjoy the flowers. Plants respond to my daily care by blooming, the same as music, it is one of my greatest joys.

　Not change the subject, but I'm sorry for worrying you, but I've completely recovered from lumbago. Last night, I didn't have enough side dishes, so I walked about 1.5 kilometers round trip to the nearest supermarket after dark and bought a small squid. This turned into a pre-dinner walk, so the balance of moderate exercise that food made for a delicious dinner, even though it was lonely eating, but there is you in my heart usually.

　I feel balance is important in our life. The same is true for the brain as well. Especially as we get used to having others helping for us, we no longer need to think for everything, and our imagination and creativity which are so important for life, are halved. By extension, even the power to live and joy in life are halved, and the human emotions of joy, anger, sadness, and happiness are gone. It makes life a waste.

　Tomorrow is Sohkoh which is one of the 24 solar terms in our Japanese traditional calendar. Until now, I've only slept under my summer futon mat, but since last night I've been using a blanket as well. The season is finally turning cold in northern hemisphere. I hope to stay in close contact with people in my area and my grateful Facebook friends as much as possible in order to maintain warm connection with you forever. I am looking forward to your continued visits and feedback this page.
