If you see a whole thing – it seems that it’s always beautiful. Planets, lives… But up close a world’s all dirt and rocks. And day to day, life’s a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern.

もし全体を見るなら – それはきっといつも美しいことでしょう。植物が生い茂り命がある。でも、間近で見れば世界はどれも泥と岩。そして日常といえば、生活はひどく忙しく、疲れ、いつも通りになれない。

– Ursula K. Le Guin

Honestly saying, I don’t know the context of these words. I read few her novels in Japanese translation and found the quote on a web site. It sounds a bit pessimistic but probably she wouldn’t mention our aigre lives because we always know that’s why the world is beautiful.

正直に告白すれば、どんな文脈なのか分かっていない。アーシュラ・K・ル=グインは日本語訳で少しばかりSFを読んだ程度で、この引用もウェブサイトで見つけただけだ。悲観的な響きではあるが、恐らくは酸いた人生を憂いているのではない。だからこそ世界が美しいと誰もが知っているのだから。

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wanderlust

 

My RIMOWA has not original wheels anymore.
Small wheels on two corners stopped working five years ago and I didn’t want to repair it because it was a bit old and I used to travel with it, just say, I wanted to own it as it was.
Two years later, however, I changed my mind. I found that the favorite and used-to-take travel equipment should not be just a memory. Now it has bigger two new wheels. The next question is where I SHALL go.
