The Power of Life

作家のことば

　夜明けに畑では草木のぴんと張った生命の匂い、ひっそりとしているのにどこか活き活きした動きが感じられる。雑草には悩まされ、生命力の強さに感心。雑草を引き抜いている気分は、精神的に落ち着き、土に触れている自分が好きです。早朝は虫の音色、小鳥の囀りも聞こえ、生命の息吹を感じ、感動へと変わります。

In the field at dawn, you can smell the taut life of the plants and trees, and feel their quiet but somehow lively movement. We are troubled by weeds and impressed by the strength of their life force. The feeling of pulling out the weeds is mentally calming and I like being in touch with the soil. Early in the morning, I hear the sound of insects and the chirping of birds, and I feel the breath of life, which turns into an emotional experience.
