冬の冷たい空気が気持ちいい、夕方の海岸散歩。
生命のツブ。
生命のことに思いをはせ、
ぐんぐん生命力の根に近づいてゆくと、
そこには、性別もない世界がひらけている。
枯れたように見える植物が、
新しい生命を生み出している。
Need Earth
それは、私たちを生かしてくれている生命の源と同じですね。
An Indivisible World
A walk along the shore in the evening,
the cold winter air feeling refreshing.
As I walk,
various inspirations begin to arise.
At this time of year,
the beach is scattered with many kinds of plant seeds.
Not in the vivid season of flowering,
but in their modest, quiet forms,
plants nurture new life and send it off on its journey.
Tiny grains of life.
Is it dark inside a seed?
Life is born from within a small darkness.
Perhaps inside the seed,
there is a connection to the information of life itself.
The season of sprouts,
the season of flowers,
and the season of seeds—
they cannot be separated,
all are connected.
As I contemplate life
and move closer and closer to its root vitality,
I begin to feel that “seed” itself
is also something indivisible.
There,
a world without gender opens up.
At the same time,
I recall the concept of the “Grandmother Effect,”
which I learned about in a reading circle some time ago,
The Great Cosmic Mother.
Only a very limited number of species—
such as humans and orcas—
have females who live long after losing reproductive ability.
One theory suggests that longevity allows them
to help raise the next generation
and pass on wisdom.
Plants that appear withered
are giving birth to new life.
For a seed to sprout,
soil is necessary.
Need Earth.
A place
where life can grow.
The soil does not actively do anything,
yet it gently holds and protects the seed.
This, too,
is the same as the source of life
that sustains us all.
