Sunny Sun 日曜日の朝 20131027

今日は風がすこし強く、お日様が照っています。

黄色がかった木の葉が窓を通してゆっくりと揺れています。

そんな木洩れ日の中で生徒に絵を教えています。

日曜日の朝にぴったりです。

今日イギリスの夏時間が終りました。

Through the window, yellowed leaves waving towards me gently.

It is really like a Sunday Morning. Today,

Why do people try to avoid the happiness なぜときにひとは目の前にある幸せを拒むのか


Why do we try to avoid the happiness in front of ourselves and abuse ourselves?

Why don't  we hold it and try to grow them?



なぜときにひとは目の前にある幸せを拒み、自分を痛めつけるのか。


小さい幸せを掴んでそれを成長させようとしないのか。

I was cut by knife. <夢>ナイフで切られた 2013/06/22(21night)



Vivid dream… so real.  I was selected by a project to do a sport day (Japanese style). I didn’t really want to do it, as I don’t know what to do. Without so much explanation, I had to stand with everyone on the ground. Put hands together and keep them high position then little move? Suddenly someone hit me with strange stick with brush on top. 

“you fuxxx lost”

He says, I had to be in the corner below the big white square tent, then he start shaving my hair.

 “you lost!” he says. I said “wait! I didn’t know the rule! And I just had a hair cut” he seems very pissed off. 

“You didn’t know the rule? You always like this. And I have told you have to do coach to the batter”
“the what?” I said

“You are supposed to help the batter”

Now I remember, when I was young, I had to do stand next to the batter and give an advice… I don’t know baseball much, how can I advise or cheering. I was shy boy and don’t even know how to hit the ball. How cruel this world, then everyone was complaining to me.
Then the chubby middle-aged guy was in the corner, he grasped a snappy knife, then he start shaving my hair.  

“OK, Ok but not with knife, use shaver!”


He started cutting my hands and neck.  I thought he was sexually attracted as he though I am masochist? When I held the knife so strong, his hand started bleeding, my anger start growing rapidly, 

then I shouted and kicked him. I woke up…



とても現実的な夢。リアルな夢。運動会に出なくてはいけないProjectに参加。よくわからなかったので参加したくなかった。 説明がとても少なく、ぼくは運動場で手を合わせて、手を上に上げて、なにやらへんな動きをしなくてはいけなかった。突然だれかがてっぺんにブラシをつけた棒で僕の頭を叩きつける。

「あんたの負け」
「はあ?」

かれは僕の頭を掴み大きな仮設のテントの中に入れ、バリカンで僕の頭を剃りはじめる。

「ちょっとまってよ。ルールがわからなかったんだって。」
「まけたでしょ?」

強引に剃ろうとする。

「ルール分からないって?君はバッターにコーチもしなきゃいけなかったのに。何もしなかった!」
「コーチ?」

ここでぼくは昔バッターコーチを試合中しなくてはいけないことをおもいだす。そもそも野球もよくわからず、バッティングすらできない僕にコーチなんて無理だ。なにもしないぼくを皆がわるくいって酷く傷ついた事を思い出す。なぜみんなこうやって弱いものをみると上からものを言いたくなるのだろうか?

すこし太った中年の男がテントの端にいる。今度はカッターでぼくの髪を剃り始める。あまりに乱暴なので

「わかったから、バリカンにしてよ!」

そうしたら彼はナイフで僕の手と首を切り始める。彼はぼくをマゾだとでもおもったのだろうか?性的に興奮していると思った。怒りが込上げてきて、彼のナイフを強く抑えるとかれの指から血が出てきた。思い切って「なにすんだこのやろう!」と叫び、彼を蹴り倒す。

そして叫びながら夢から覚める。
