日常のように淡々と時が過ぎ
日常のように終わりが曖昧なまま
過去が作られる
そうやって
心のどこかに小さなトゲが残される
容赦ない自然の惨禍も
玄関先の蔓薔薇も
同じように傷痕を残しはするが
突きささったトゲは
いつまでも
小さな痛みを与え続け
誰ひとりその終わりに気づかない
日常のみが
ただ終わりを告げる
それが日々を過ごすということ

自分には嘘をつかないこと
だけどちょっぴり嘘をつくこと
そうやって
僅かな幸せが訪れる
その小さなトゲと
僅かな幸せが
瓦礫のように折り重なったものが
生きると言うこと

Sometimes we need to be crawling up an easy slope. Our daily life always has a difficult face and we aren’t aware of it.
He was just walking on a slope of huge pier but looked strange somehow probably because he was, of course, not a passenger of the Diamond Princess nor Asuka II. He was not a crew, neither. However he must be a crew of our planet. That’s a life.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Cheeky

201712-201

Common children shall be naughty. It’s a sort of raisin d’être (reason to be) and I seemed to be a sort of their reason to play a joke especially during my overseas trips. Many years ago I was at a middle of a ski slope just under a chair lift. Holding a snowboard I was climbing a steep, actually gentle, hill in a winter resort of Canadian Rocky Mountains for my first experience of snowboarding. Yes, it was the first experience for me. When I looked up the sky to pause for catching breath, a small boy above me spoke to me from his chair
“Why don’t you take a lift? Good luck!”
Ok, thank you. I was a beginner and I didn’t come up with any smart thing to say in English. At least it was lucky for me that I didn’t find cheeky words, neither.
