Connected byFate 縁がある
日々の暮らしには折々興味深いことが起こる。 今日はそんな日だった。いつものように自転車で買い物に出かけた。明るい青空とひんやりとした空気に誘われていつもより遠回りした。その途中で葬式に出会った。亡くなった方の名前に驚いた。以前、私の海外係時代に長く付き合った方だった。その彼の名をたまたま見つけた。末期の癌で亡くなったとのこと。私もこの一年半の間に3度の癌の手術をした。 この偶然。縁があるというのはこういうことだ。
Interesting things happen from time to time in everyday life. Today was one of those days. I went out shopping by bike as usual. Lured by the bright blue sky and the crisp, cool air, I took a longer route than usual. Along the way, I came across a funeral procession. I was surprised by the name of the deceased. He was someone I had known for a long time back when I worked in the international division. I heard he had passed away from terminal cancer. I, too, have undergone three cancer surgeries over the past year and a half. What a coincidence. This is what it means to be connected by fate.

The sky この空
On a fine May day, I visited a museum which used to be a prison for the junenile. A sculpture of prisoner standing in front of a winder, looking out the sky, is my favorite exhibit.五月の爽やかな日にミュージアムを訪問しました。元少年刑務所だった所です。窓辺に佇む囚人の彫刻が私が一番気に入った展示でした。

54-year-old painting 54年前の絵
A painting I did 54 years ago is currently on display at Honolulu Art Museum. I am happy for the painting, being displayed rather than being stored in a strage room. This painting of a cityscape will surely outlive me for many years to come
54年前に描いた絵が現在ホノルル美術館で展示されています。倉庫で保管されるより展示されて、この絵はしあわせモノです。この都市光景の絵は私よりずっと長生きするでしょう。
