I read

unknown plant on the shore

"Far North " by Marcel Theroux. It was a unimaginably tough story but really intriguing. A barren image of the fields and towns lingered in my mind while I was in the story, but the story has something rich and fertile because of the main character, who is very far from me, "far north" itself.

Now, I'm reading The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion.

デルフィニウム、ナデシコ、カーネーション

カーネーションってナデシコ科だったのか。そういえば似てる。

デルフィニウムはイルカの泳ぐ姿を連想してそう名付けられたらしいけど

日本では飛燕草、というらしい。

I heard the plant was named after dolphins, associated with them swimming.

In Japan we call it 飛燕草, which name means flowers looking like flying swallows.

just because you are with me

 

I can breathe, I can go on
