my place in the world.

I like the sound of the word “peninsula.
The border between the land and the sea, which is the same for beaches and sandy beaches, but I like the tip of the peninsula, the rugged precipice.
Deep, wave-carved rocks loom beneath my feet, and the roar of the wind envelops my body. When the weather is rough, the foam from the wave caps breaking on the rocky beach pours down on my face.
One step forward, and the body will swim through space-time, and life will end. It is not that I am not tempted to do so.

I have stood at the same point many times.
My earliest memory is when I was 12 years old.
Since then, I have repeatedly come to this spot to look at the horizon, feel the wind, listen to the waves, and contemplate the self.

Beaches and coastlines can be transformed by the thoughts of people. But at the tip of the peninsula, on the solid reefs of the precipitous cliffs, human power is powerless.
Human beings are transient, changeable, and ephemeral. But the rugged, bare nature does not move an inch.
When I stand in such a place, I am once again aware of my place in the world.

居場所

“ペニンシュラ”、この言葉の響きが好きだ。
陸地と海の境目、それは海岸や砂浜も同様だが、私は半島の先端部、荒々しい断崖絶壁が好きだ。
足元には波に侵食された深い岩場が迫り、風の咆哮に全身が包まれる。天候の荒れた時、岩場に砕ける波頭の泡沫が顔面にまで降り注いでくる。
一歩踏み出せば、肉体は時空を泳ぎ、命は尽きるだろう。ふとそのような誘惑に駆られる場所。

同じ地点に私は何度も佇んできた。
一番古い記憶は12歳の頃。
以来、繰り返しこの地点にやって来ては水平線を眺め、風を感じ、波を聴きながら自己について考えてきた。

砂浜や海岸線は人々の思惑で姿を変えることがある。しかし半島の先端部、断崖絶壁の強固な岩礁には人間の力など無力だ。
移ろい変化しやすく儚い人間の存在。だが荒々しい剥き出しの自然は微動だにしない。
このような場所に佇むとき、私は改めて自分の居場所を自覚することができる。
