今年1月の那覇は暖かく、今日も23度。半袖で過ごせるのが気持ちいい。
12月は雨続きで日照時間も例年の10％以下でしたが、お天気も落ち着いてきました。
この時期、雨天以外はランニングするのが日課になっています。
歯磨きのように、しないと気持ち悪くなってきたので、シメシメと思っています。
城岳公園のブランコで休んでいると、ふと時計とその後ろにある木に気づきました。
時計と自然。
眺めていると「時は在って、無いもの」という考えが降ってきました。
時は意識すれば「在る」が、意識されなければ「無い」もの。
人間という有限の存在は時を意識して時計を作りますが、自然という無限の存在は時を意識していません。古木になり、朽ち果てても、次の若木へと永遠のリレーが続くからです。
夢の中と同じですね。夢では時間が時間通りに進みません。時が無いからです。本当は我々も半分は永遠の存在なのかもしれません。

Naha was warm in January this year, and it is 23 degrees today. It feels good to spend time with short sleeves.
In December, it was raining continuously and the daylight hours were less than 10% of the average year, but the weather has calmed down.
During this time, it is a daily routine to run except in the rain.
If I don't run, I feel uncomfortable like when I don't brush my teeth, so I think it's a good habit.
When I was resting on a swing in Jogaku Park, I suddenly noticed the clock and the tree behind it.
Clock and nature.
When I was looking at it, I came up with the idea that "time exists and does not exist."
Time is "existing" if you are conscious, but "not" if you are not conscious.
The finite existence of human beings makes watches with time in mind, but the infinite existence of nature is not conscious of time. Even if it becomes an old tree and decays, an eternal relay will continue to the next young tree.
It's the same as in a dream. In dreams, time doesn't go on time. Because there is no time. In reality, we may be half eternal.
