My Dog, Hug.

…sniff, sniff…

With my dog, I am still snooping around my underfoot today and communicate with the world.

Because all "traces" of dull glow -even saliva-like things that have been spit out- are "letter left behind" by past existences.

And again, we stop at the street corner…👣🐾

クンクン、クンクン。

イヌと連れ立って僕は、

今日も足元を嗅ぎまわり、世界と交信する。

鈍く光りながら其処に残るすべての“痕跡”は、

それが吐き棄てられた唾のようなモノでさえも、

いつかの実存からの“置き手紙”だから。

そして僕らはまた、その曲がり角で。

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Ode to our Green Road #5

May is the season for rice planting.

The rice fields are filled with water, and farmers plant seedlings there.

It is one of the most lovely and grateful scenes of the year for me, and the animals living around there are also looking at the situation with a smile :-))

On our Green Road, a pleasant breeze coming from the rice fields gently strokes Hug's cheeks and wild plants 🌬🐶🌿✨✨

しばし、いのちが憩う《エデンの園》。 そのちいさな宇宙へと、僕も迷い込むように。

With eyes closed, I saw God. When I peeked, God vanished. My Homework will be to find out whether I can see God with my eyes wide open.

- Shuntaro Tanikawa “ Homework ”

いつか誰もが　花を愛し　歌を歌い 返事じゃない　言葉を喋りだすのなら 何千回もの　なだらかに過ぎた季節が 僕にとても　いとおしく想えてくる

神様を　信じる力を　僕に 神様を　信じる力を　僕に

“Graph” is graceful claw-curve, grammar a     weaving carving

paw track, lizard-slither, tumble of a single boulder down. Glacier scrapes across Montana, wave-lines on the beach.

Saying, “we were here” scat sign of time and place

language is     shit, claw, or tongue

“tongue” with all its flickers might be a word for

fucking, and     fate. A single kiss     a tiny cause [claws]

— such grand effects [text].

-word by Gary Snyder  ‘Claws / Cause’-

久しぶりにゲーリー・スナイダーの著書を あれこれと読み返しています。 彼の詩や言葉に触れるとき僕はいつも、 自分のなかに眠り続けている《原初》の感覚が ザワザワと蘇ろうとする衝動を覚えるのでした。

青北風が　夏の残像を連れ去ると

野辺は　一気に秋めいてゆく

澄みわたる　ひかりを纏った花々が　

此処其処で　やさしく手招きしながら

そっと　ほほえみかけるから

君もにっこり　それにほほえみ返す

秋日是好日　

美しき　今日というこの１日

いろいろあるのは　みんなおんなじ

顔を高くあげて　さぁ　どこへいこう

Hello, my Tumblr's friends :-))

I got some messages asking about Hug's present situation. Thank you for your thoughtfulness🤗❤️

She was a little unwell because summer in Japan is so hot and so humid🐶💦 But finally the seasons changed and the autumn breeze brought a nice coolness, Hug completely recovered her cheerfulness and liveliness!!✨🐕✨

She raises her face high and smiles every day to say Hello to the various autumn flowers ;-)

Cheers to a beautiful autumn day!!🤗💕💕

Stolen Moments 2010-2017

An empty canvas is full. - Robert Rauschenberg

I’m afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning. - Andy Warhol

眼が辿る。 ソレがソコにある、と。 ただそれだけの日々の痕、ひろいあつめては。

We Saw The Light !

(with a new little boyfriend)

When I wake up in the morning, love And the sunlight hurts my eyes And something without warning, love Bears heavy on my mind

Then I look at you And the world's alright with me Just one look at you And I know it's gonna be A lovely day... lovely day, lovely day, lovely day…✨✨

-words from Bill Withers “Lovery Day”

…Whoooooah!!

The long rainy season is over, and finally Midsummer has come! Small sunflower-like wildflowers and blue sky bless our new season :-))))

うんざりするほど長かった梅雨がようやく明け、 僕たちは眩い太陽の季節の訪れを知らせてくれる ちいさな向日葵みたいなジャノメソウの花畑で、 ちびっこの新しいボーイフレンドと戯れ合いながら 高く真っ青に澄んだ夏空を迎えました ( ´∇｀)♪
