Lake Toya, Monday, December 20
Lake Toya, Monday, December 20
It was a heavy snowfall in Sapporo last week. I spent a lot of time shoveling snow at my parents’ house.
It’s been two months since my two parents entered the facility together. I came to Lake Toya for the first time in a while because I was a little calm.
札幌は先週大雪となり私は実家の雪かきに追われていました。
両親が2人揃って施設入所して2ヶ月が経ち、少し落ち着いた隙に洞爺湖へ久々にきました。
These days I sometimes feel the decline of my father’s body and mind as if it were my own.
Now is the most important thing for me
Now is everything
I realize that the present accumulation is the present, the past, and the future. The trip is very good for me.
I work as long as I am needed by a person. When my role is over, I will leave for the other world.
I wish I could have such a way of life.
最近は父親の衰えを自分に重ねてしまうことがありましたが、
旅行に来ると改めて私にとって今が1番大切、
今がすべて、
今の積み重ねが今であり過去であり未来であるということを実感します。
やはり旅は私にとってとても良いものです。
人から必要とされる間は働き、役割が終わったら、衰えを感じる間もなくあの世へ旅立つ、そういう生き方ができたらいいなと思います。
