Nature 自然





故郷の足利に帰ると、毎朝散歩をします。毎日30度の暑さが続いているから真夏のままなんじゃないかって思いがちだけど、良くみるとちゃんと彼岸花は咲いてくれている。赤とんぼも飛んでいる。秋なんです。これほど人間に痛みつけられても、自然はまだまだ元気でいてくれるんだなあと、感謝せずにはいられない。彼岸花のつぼみの上で瞑想するカエルくんの子孫が、来年も、再来年も、100年後も健やかに暮らせるために、僕らができること、やってはいけないこととは何か。

When I return to my home town, Ashikaga, I take a walk every morning. Because it's been so hot every day since I returned, I felt that the season remained as the mid-summer, but if you look closely, you see many signs of the arrival of fall - red dragonflies, cluster-amaryllis, cosmoses, etc. The nature is still functioning despite the serious and continuous abuse it takes from human beings. I feel grateful. I wish the descendants of the meditating frog on the amaryllis will still enjoy their lives in the next year, the following year, and 100 years from now. I wonder what we should and should not do to realize that.
