Not gonna struggle with fate

運命は変えられる。そして、それもヒョンな簡単な日々の選択で最も簡単に変わってしまうものなんだということをヒシヒシと感じています。

今、運命の流れにもがくことの無意味さ、ただ起こることへ心鎮め身を委ねる大切さを帯広で再確認しています。

2014年。全身全霊を込めて、選択を重ねてきました。それは時に身を削り、傷つく事を覚悟の上での選択もあったと思う。でも全ては自分自身のためでもあり、救いたいと願う大切な人たちへの思いもあった。

帯広の滞在も今日で終わり。来月のウィーンで、新たな道筋で駒を進めていくために締めくくりの旅をしようと思う。

Fates can be changed, and daily small choices and decisions can change a whole fate. I can't stop feeling it these days. 

Since I strongly feel that it's pointless to struggle with and go against the flows of fate, I'm just trying to relax myself and see what's is coming next.

In 2014, I've been devoting myself to making decisions. Even though I  knew that they might hurt me, I couldn't find any other ways, but step forward for myself and those whom I wanna give a hand. 

I'm going back to Osaka tomorrow in the afternoon, and flying to Vienna again later  this month. I wanna make the next trip the last to move further for better in life.

A ticket to Happiness

誰でも「幸福」への切符を買うことはできる。しかし、その前に神は問う・・・。

A番線かB番線か

正しいと思う方を一つ選択しなさい。

聖書も述べている;

「狭き門より入（い）れ、滅（ほろび）にいたる門は大きく、その路は広く、之より入る者おほし（多し）。生命（いのち）にいたる門は狭く、その路は細く、之を見出すもの少なし。」

この一節は決して苦労を美化し、茨の道を進めと説いてるのではないと思う。「正しい」選択をしなさいと・・・！

今年、2人の知人が選択をする瞬間をみた。友人と先に選んだ番線止まる列車に乗り込みながら・・・。

残念な事に、俺たちと違う番線に止まる列車を選んだようだ。そして、彼らは幸福へ進む切符を買えたのだろうか？その列車は幸福へ導く列車なのだろうか？

幸運を！

Everyone can buy a ticket to Happiness, but before getting the ticket, the God always gives us a trial and test

Truck A or B

Choose a right one you think from two...!

The holy bible quotes;

Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy, that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it. --New Revised Standard Version, Matthew 7:13-14

This quote never means that you should take a hard one and sacrifice yourself for better, but just make a right choice! 

I had a chance to see two souls making a choice this year which seemed to be very important for them in life. I was just waiting for them ahead in the cart of a train on the truck my friend and I did choose. 

They sadly seemed to pick up a different truck from ours, and wondered they made it to buy a ticket in time... and if it will lead them to the happiness they want. 

The God bless you!

For everyone's happiness

去年の誕生日からシドニー→ウィーン→シドニー→サムイ島→シドニー→帯広・・・行ってきます！アホだよね〜！？（笑）

でも、奴の魂が言ったことを信じ、行動してるだけ。

“一人の幸せの為だけに、魂は決して動かない。“

Since my birthday last year, I traveled to Sydney→Vienna→Sydney→Samui island→Sydney→Obihiro. I must be an idiot, right!? lol

I believe in what his spirit said to me , and am just doing it. 

"Spirits never work only for one single happiness"

Gabrielle and a lily

添乗員を１０年近く世界を巡り続けてきた俺にとっては、絵の意味を理解することはたやすい。

あまりにもなんて事のない絵なのに、何度も足を止め見ずにはいられなかった。

ガブリエルと百合

何をこの絵は俺に伝えようとしていたのだろう？長崎にいたことと関係があるんだろうか？

I've been traveling in the world for nearly 10 years, and it is nothing but easy to comprehend the theme of this painting, but I couldn't stop looking at it again, again and again.. 

Gabrielle and a lily.

What was it trying to tell me? Anything to do with a visit in Nagasaki this time?

Led to Nagasaki...

３０年以上ぶりの長崎でした。子供の頃に長崎の平和公園にある祈念像の前で撮った家族写真を見た記憶がある。全くその時の記憶がない。

このタイミングで長崎を訪れることに何か意味はあったのか？不確かな直感を感じていたけど、俺のレベルは答えを見出す域の力はない。

隠れキリシタンの歴史、そして西洋文化の影響を強く受けた町。

この町は、俺に何を語り語りかけようとしていたのかな？あの人に聞いてみよう・・・！

It's been more than 30 years since my last visit in Nagasaki. I saw a family photo taken in front of a peace memorial statue in the Nagasaki peace park once in the past, but no memories back then.

Any meanings of my visit in Nagasaki on this timing? I felt something uncertain intuitive there, but my skills were not good enough to get a clear vision and answer. 

Town with a history of hidden Christianity and cultural influence from westerns. 

I was wondering what this town Nagasaki was trying to tell me.... I should ask that person ...

Beauties in neighbors

身近なところに美がある。気づくか気づかないか・・・。

長居公園は本当に大切な場所。

Beauties are always beside you. It's a matter of noticing them, or not...

Nagai Park means a lot to me.

How it Japan should be in colors

研ぎ澄ませ！五感を超えた、聖なる感覚を！汝を全ての美へと導かん！

Sharpen your sences! The sacred sences beyond your ordinary five sences! They will lead you to all the beauty in the universe.
