此岸と彼岸

An academic book (collection of papers) will publish in August. The book title has been noted on the SNS of the editors. However, I am not sure if it is appropriate for me to disclose it, so I will not reveal it here. The book consists of 13 chapters (that is, 13 papers), and the paper I authored is one of those chapters. I wrote on the Paralympics (athletes), but the theme of the 13 theses is not admirably unified. It is as if each of them wrote their research paper, which compiles into a single volume. I think the underlying theme is an affirmation kind of "madness".
This "madness" is spoken, "from the other shore, where there is a rupture" (quoted in part from the editor's afterword). The term "madness" is aptly put. I don't think the writers, including myself, consider ourselves "crazy" at all. However, I am self-aware that where I'm on the "other shore with a disconnect". We are the opposite place from those who would have looked straight at the world and taken things as they came. I do not know how to cross this shore and that shore. It makes me very sad I feel my helplessness. Even if this book will release to society and it reaches him, he will not be able to connect with our shores. If that is the case, I would like at least tell him what kind of place I am.
Even if it is a place of "madness" for him, he looks at me as a "madwoman".
