日常

ウチの弟その１、とくしまマラソン、今年も無事完走！おめでとう～～！目標の３時間台には残念ながら乗れなかったけど、強風の中、４時間２５分、まぁまぁエエんちゃうの？それより、４２，１９５kmを完走ってのがすごい。みんなすごい！かっこいい！と応援しながら思いました。もう足が動かない、そんな様子でも前へ、前へ。しびれます。そして、見るたび『私も！』って思ってしまう浅はかさ・・・？でもホンマ、マラソンって、やってみたいーって思わせる何かがある。（とか言いながら、こういうことにかけては腰めっちゃ重いんよね、これが。＞ｍ＜）
写真は全く無関係にアテネの朝の人気タベルナ周辺の様子。祭りの後、と、日々繰り返す新しい１日を迎えるための作業、に共通するものがあるなぁ、と思ったので、あながち無関係ともいえません、よね？

One of my brothers took part in "The 2nd Tokushima Marathon" and ran through in 4'25 hours. He was chagrined he couldn't reach his targeted record to run within 4 hours, but still he managed to finish it and the time was far shorter than last year's. Congrats to him! Congrats to all the runners! I admire him and all the participants for having the guts and sweat to run. They are super! They are cooool! Seeing them running made me wanna run too. (Oh, yes, I am too indulgent to run a marathon!)

The photo on the left I took in Athens in a morning. People took their time preparing for the day. I love seeing people doing their everyday things. They have something sincere and sacred, whether they are just a face wash or sweeping a street:)
