Vol.15 : Morning Relay | 朝のリレー
人は自分の死を予知できず、人生を尽きせぬ泉だと思う。だが、物事はすべて数回起こるか起こらないかだ。自分の人生を左右したと思えるほど大切な子供の頃の思い出も、あと何回心に思い浮かべるか？せいぜい4,5回思い出すくらいだ。あと何回満月を眺めるか？せいぜい20回だろう。だが、人は無限の機会があると思い込んでいる。

最後に日の出をじっくりと眺めたのはいつだろう。ちょっと思い出せない。人の気配がない静かな朝。ひんやりとした空気。ゆっくりと変わる空の色。荘厳な何かに立ち会っているかのような感覚に陥ってしまう。
今、まさに世界が目を覚まさんとする瞬間。しかし同時にこのときに、一日を終えようとする地域や国もあるという不思議。谷川俊太郎の詩「朝のリレー」を想起する。日の出を眺めながら、わたしはまさにあの詩の中に生きていた。
家族と一緒にほんの少しだけ屋上で過ごした、忘れ難い朝の風景。

Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really.
How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.

When was the last time I saw the sunrise? I can’t remember.
It was a cool morning with no sign of people. The cool air. The sky slowly changes colour little by little. The fact that time is passing is beautifully visualised. Watching the sunrise, you feel as if you are witnessing something majestic.
This is the moment when the world is just about to wake up. But at the same time, it is a wonder that some regions and countries are ending their day. I would like to feel the expansion and connection of the world in the cloudless sky, but it is difficult for my senses. That is why Michio Hoshino's writing is so precious.
Sunrise.
If I wanted to, I could see it again tomorrow. But how many more times will I live my life watching the sunrise?
The unforgettable morning scenery of spending a short time on the rooftop with my family.
