『心偈』61続

柳宗悦『心偈』

But a butterburr flower stalk cheers us.

We can't find any excuse if we feel depressed.

By the way this poem presented to my friend, taro maruyama, when his family met with a misfortune.

Aferwars I couldn't put up with the word 'in spite of the heavy snow',so I changed the word'looking up the snow'.

I think this is better than before, because it  is in  harmony with snow.

 

昨夜は風邪っぽかったので、ちょこっと甘めの赤ワインを飲み、

読むのを我慢していたハリー・ポッターの最新刊を一気に読みあげ、

9時半に就寝しました。無事ほぼ風邪撃退。

今日は快晴。お布団も洗濯物も干せ、子どもたちとおにぎり作って、

外でミニピクニックです。
