【ないものは作れない】
今朝の新甲子温泉は暖かい日差しに雪が舞う穏やかな天気です。12月に入りまとまった雪が降り大雪を危惧していましたが、今のところ昨年並みの積雪で宿の周りの道路も部分的に雪から露出しています。
かんじき作りツアーを年明け早々に企画していましたが、かんじきの材料調達がそれほど簡単ではないことが分かりました。都市に暮らしていると「ないものは作れる」という消費者論理で不自由を経験しませんが、かんじきひとつ作るにも材料調達を考えなくてはなりません。ネマガリダケ、ジダケ、リョウブ、アブラチャン、オオバクロモジなど、かんじきの材料はたくさんありますが、雪の降る前に材料を入手して生の状態で曲げておく必要があります。
天候に関係なくスーパーに行けばいつも大量の食料が満たされている都市生活は不自然です。不自由のない食料調達は、大量生産による野菜の栄養価の低下など、われわれ自身の健康に跳ね返ってきます。今回のことは改めてそのことに気づくよい機会となりました。循環、持続可能な形でのかんじき材料の調達ができる体制を考えたいと思います。
【We cannot make the few thing】
Shinkashi Onsen this morning is the calm weather that snow dances in in warm sunlight. December begins, and large amount of snow falls and felt uneasy about a heavy snow, but the road around the hotel is exposed from snow in the ordinary snow partially last year for the moment.
I planned a tour made with a snowshoe hurriedly in the new year, but understood that the materials procurement of the snowshoe was not so simple. I do not experience inconvenience in the consumers logic "to be able to make the few thing" when I live in the city, but must think about materials procurement to make one snowshoe. There are ground bamboo, a Clethra barbinervis, oil Chan, a lot of materials of the snowshoe including the Oba lindera,; but of the snow it is necessary to obtain materials before falling, and to bend it in a raw state.
The city life that a large quantity of food is always filled with if I go to the supermarket regardless of weather is unnatural. The purveyance without the inconvenience bounces back on the health including the drop of the nutritive value of vegetables by the mass production of our own. It was a good opportunity to check this time, and to notice it. I want to think about circulation, the system which I can supply of snowshoe materials in sustainable form.

【自分らしくない日本人】
シドニーからの留学生を3ヶ月ほど預かっているのですが、日本人との違いがよく分かり勉強になります。娘が「友達と浅草に行くから行こう」と誘っているのに「私は行きたくない!」とはっきり断ります。決して協調性がないわけでも、マイペースでいい加減なわけでもないのですが、ありのままに自分らしく主張する姿勢は日本人が見習うべきところだと思います。
先日は、吉祥寺で買った洋服が気に入らないので、交換したいと言うので吉祥寺まで行きました。日本人ならあきらめてタンスの奥にしまいそうです。吉祥寺は魅力的な店が多く余計なものまで食べてしまいました。慶応SDMの前野教授が提唱する夢、楽観性、自分らしさ、感謝という幸せの4因子のうち、日本人に一番欠けているのは自分らしさかもしれません。
【The Japanese who does not seem to be oneself】
I take charge of a foreign student from Sydney for approximately three months, but understand the difference with the Japanese well and is studied. When "I do not want to go to invite you when a daughter "will go because she goes to Asakusa with a friend" ," I decline it clearly. I am not irresponsible, but even the reason why there is not at all sense of cooperation thinks that it seems to be oneself, and a Japanese should follow the posture to insist on plainly at one's own pace.
I went the other day to Kichijoji because I did not like the clothes which I bought in Kichijoji because I said that I wanted to change it. I give up a Japanese and seem to put it away in the depths of the chest. A lot of attractive shops have eaten Kichijoji to a too many thing. Among a dream advocated by Professor Maeno of Keio SDM, optimism characteristics, a quality of oneself, 4 factors of the happiness called thanks, it may be a quality of oneself that is short to a Japanese most.

【移動がストレスを消す】
ぼくが理想と考える二拠点居住という生活スタイルにとって、車での移動は重要な要素です。もちろん移動自体は何でも良いのですが、自分の部屋ごと移動できる車での移動に勝るものはありません。東京と新甲子温泉の間は国道4号線を使って4、5時間ですが、何か考えをまとめたり、逆に何も考えずに運転に集中する瞑想に最適な時間です。
自動車の運転は執着を生みやすい行為だと思います。極端に遅い車から異常に早い車まで混在する道路ではストレスを生みやすく、渋滞すると隣の車線の流れが気になります。運転は重大な結果を招く危険行為でありながら、乱暴な運転が後を絶ちません。
時間を作って瞑想をするのも無駄だと思っていたので、移動時間を有効に活用しようと瞑想にあててみたところ、効果覿面でストレスを感じにくいだけではなく、疲れず途中で休む必要も感じません。いつもぼくの二拠点移動に付き合ってくれるラブラドールに、フィアットの荷室にちょうど納まるイケアのドッグベッドを買いました。
【Movement deletes stress】
For a lifestyle called two base residence that I regard as an ideal, the movement by car is an important element. Of course anything is enough for movement in itself, but, as for the thing superior to the movement by car which can move to every one's room, there are none. It is four or five hours using National highway No. 4 during Tokyo and Shinkashi Onsen, but I collect some thought and am the time when it is most suitable for meditation to concentrate on driving without thinking about anything adversely.
I think that driving of the cars is the act that is easy to produce deep attachment. It is easy to lay stress on the road mixed from an extremely slow car to an abnormally early car and is worried about the flow of the next traffic lane when congested. While driving is a danger act to cause a serious result, violent driving does not cut off the back.
Not only after exposing it to the meditation because I thought that it is useless I make time, and to meditate to utilize movement time effectively, it is hard to feel stress with effect, but also I am on the way and do not feel the need absent from without being tired either. I bought a dog bed of IKEA which just fitted into the compartment of Fiat for Labrador which always kept company at my two base residence.

【先の見えない旅】
冬に入りすっかり運動をしなくなってしまいました。本来走ることが苦手なぼくは今でも強制されないと走りません。そのためにレースに出るのですが、強制されて辛さに耐えることで、初めて見る景色や初めて出会う自分、経験したことのない高揚感を味わうことができます。
人生も同じだと思います。これまで3度の転職をして、そのつど一度ならず前の会社に残れば良かったと後悔したものです。しかし4度目に会社を辞めてみて、収入は途絶え預金残高がゼロに向かっていく恐怖を日々味わいながらも元の生活に戻りたいとは思いません。
それは組織のしがらみから離れ自由を謳歌できるからではなく、辛いことがあっても自分の人生が前に進んでいる感覚があるからだと思います。企業組織にいた時代には会えなかった人に会え、自分の基軸に沿った視点で社会を見ることができます。先の見えない旅だからこそ高揚感があるのだと思います。
【Former invisible trip】
Winter began and did not completely exercise. I who am weak in running do not originally run when not still forced. Therefore I go for a race, but can taste scenery to watch for the first time by enduring hotness under coercion and oneself to meet for the first time, the elation that I have not experienced.
I think that the life is the same. I did 3 degrees change of job and regretted it until now when you should have stayed in the company in front more than once each time. However, the fourth can deny a company and does not think that I want to come back to the original life while the income is cut off, and a deposit balance tastes fear going to zero every day.
I think that this is because there is the sense that one's life advances to forward even if this is not because I can enjoy freedom apart from the weir of the organization, and it may be hard. Meet the person who was not able to meet in the times when I was in the company organization and can watch society in the viewpoint along one's key. I think that there is elation simply because it is a former invisible trip.

【お金が必要だから幸せになれる】
昨日はベンチャー企業支援を手がける一般社団法人MAKOTOのイベント「地方×宿泊業の可能性」に呼んでいただきました。当初定員を増やして開催されたイベントに、地方や宿泊業への関心の高さを感じました。懇親会でお話を伺うと多拠点居住や自然のなかでの仕事という考え方が、あながちぼくの独りよがりでないことを実感します。
会場の熱気からも自分の力で人生を切り開こうと考える人が増えていることは間違いないと思います。お金に依存する人生観が変わってきたことが背景にあると感じます。誰しもお金に不自由しない人生を望みますが、他方で安楽な人生では冒険する楽しみがなくなります。不老長寿を求めながら、一方で人生が無限なら苦痛に感じるのと同じでしょう。お金が必要だからこそ冒険に掻き立てられるのであって、そうした高揚感が幸せを感じさせてくれるのだと思います。写真は一昨日行った奥会津の早戸温泉「つるの湯」からの眺めです。
【Because money is necessary, I can find happiness】
I had "possibility of the local X staying business" cause an event of general corporate judicial person MAKOTO which dealt with venture company support yesterday. For the event that I increased capacity at first, and was held, I felt high interest in district and staying business. A way of thinking to work in many bases residence and nature realizes that it is not necessarily my self-satisfaction when I hear a story at a social gathering.
I think that it must be it that people intending to open up the life by one's power from the heat of the meeting place increase. When there is that view of life depending on money changed in the background, I feel it. Who hopes for the life that is not in need of money as doing it, but pleasure to have an adventure disappears in the other in the comfortable life. It will be the same as feeling it for pain if, on the other hand, the life is infinite while demanding perpetual youth and longevity. It is stirred by adventure simply because money is necessary and thinks that such an elation lets you feel happiness. Hayato Onsen of depths Aizu that the photograph went the day before yesterday is a view from "Tsuluno-yu".
