ON　THE　RUN　より良き明日の為に〜for　better　tomorrow

探し物がいつも　見つからないのは
君が本当は　　　見ようとしていないから
新しい場所に　　探しに行くなんて
本当はそこから　君は逃げたいだけ

昔　空を飛んで　遠い場所を見てきた
時代（とき）は巡り　日々は移り
鏡の中の　my friend 今僕はどこにいる

空を飛んでいた頃の　想い出はもう忘れるよ
誰かの空を飛んでいた　季節にさよならをしよう
風が通り抜ける道　今日はあるきながら
青い風を吸い込めば　心に風の羽衣

そんなに無理をして笑うことはないさ
君は本当の君を知らないだけ

鏡の中の　my dear そんなにしょげるなよ
夢は続き　生まれ変わり
心の中の　my friend どこにでも行けるのさ

空を飛んでいたころの　想い出はもう忘れよう
大人になるために泣いた　あの日の約束
時が通り抜ける道　今日も歩きながら
僕の空を見つけたい　心に

風が通り抜ける道　今日も
青い風を吸い込めば　心に風の羽衣

心に風の羽衣

（風の羽衣／馬場俊英）

You can not find what you look for at all times
Because you don' t try to see really
Are you going to the new place to look for?
No! You merely want to get away from there, don't you?

In former days I flew in the sky and went to the distant place to see
The times come around and the days change
My friend in the mirror　　　　　Where am I now?

I forget the memory when I flew in the sky
I say good-bye to the season when I flew in someone's sky
Today I walk on the way the wind blows through
As I breathe the blue wind in
HAGOROMO in the wind is in my heart

You don't need to smile compulsorily like that
You don't know merely who you are really

My dear in the mirror 　　Don't be disheartened so much
Your dream continues and regenerates
My friend in my heart 　　 You can go anywhere

Shall we forget the memory when we flew in the sky?
It was our promise in that day to grow up, was't it?
Also today I walk on the way the times pass through
And I want to find my own sky in my heart

Also today the wind blows through the way
As I breathe the blue wind in
HAGOROMO in the wind is in my heart

HAGOROMO in the wind is in my heart

(HAGOROMO in the wind by Toshihide Baba)

folowers blooming quietly ,
all are dazzling!

自分の思考（脳）を一旦止めたい。でも難しい。
考えることはものすごいエネルギーを浪費する。
建設的なことなら良いが、ふっと浮かぶのは雑念ばかり。
こんなテーマは堂々巡りばかりで結論に進まない。
如何せんエネルギーだけが流れ出てもうくたくたになる。
走ったり運動したりすることは、エネルギーを出し切れば自然と
つかれて止めることができるのに、頭だけは気持ちだけはいくら
クタクタになっても考えることを止めてくれない。

本当に扱いにくい代物だよ。これを止めることが出来るのは
”無心の境地”に達したものだけなのか。凡人は疲れ果てていくだけ
なのか。

探そう！ニッポン人の忘れもの
というエッセイ集を読んだ。強烈な内容では
ないが、なんとなく惹かれて読んでしまった。
少し無駄なエネルギー流出が少なくなった時間
だったかもしれない。

I wanna stop my own thought(brain) once.But it is too difficult.
Much energy is exhausted by considering.
It is good to hit upon something constructive , however,
I occur all but worldly thoughts across my mind.
I am merely thinking this theme in circles and it is too difficult
to come to a conclusion.How is not carried out,I merely exhaust my
energy and I am worn out.We can stop running or exercising to spend
all energy spontaneously ,however, our head and our mind never stop
thinking even if they are worn out.

It is really a troublesome thing for controling or handling.
Can only one who got to a stage of innocence stop this?
Are other ordinary persons merely worn out?

I read an essay "Shall we look for WASUREMONO of NIPPON-JIN"?.
(Its meaning is "to remember things which Japanese left behind
in past".) Though its contents did not have an impact upon me so much ,
I was somehow interested in and read to the end.
It might be time for me to decrease wasteful exhaustion of energy.

日本政府が要請し、パキスタン軍まで出動して救出されたというのに、
観光客の一部は残りの訪問地（観光スポット）を巡ってから帰国するらしい。
いったいこの連中の頭の中はどうなってんだ？両方の国家が動いた
非常事態の中に自分たちが置かれていたということを全く理解していない。
非常識で浮かれている。

こんな国際社会の常識も持っていないオジサンオバサン連中が、カネとヒマに
モノを言わせてあちこちの国をウロウロするから、日本人が程度の低い国民だと
誤解されるんだよ。

120 tourists including 70 Japanese had been forced not to move from
Gilgit Pakistan due to a religious riot. All they were rescued by The Pakistan Air Force. However , to our surprise , some of Japanese tourists would continue thier tour and visit some regions(including
Islamabad) for sightseeing before coming back to Japan.

What? Is it true? Amazing and unbelievable!

Although The Japanese Government requested and the Pakistan Army was
sent out to rescue........,what do these fellows think?
How is in their heads?They never understand they were in emergency
that Both nations operated.They make merry senselessly.

These OJISAN&OBASAN(elder men&women) who don't have any common sense in an international society but have time and money enoughly wander in many countries here and there, so Japanese are misunderstood such as people on a low level.

ようやく来たね。

At last, you came !

新しい自分の生活ペースを確立したい。今はまだ混沌（カオス）の状態。
まだ何も見えないが、無の境地から一筋の光が導いてくれないか。

人間は生まれて生きて死ぬ存在だが、一度だけだろうか？
春の光を浴びれば芽吹き、新しい命が自分の内に目覚めてくる。
走り、倒れて、そして春が来れば新しく生きる。人は何度でも生まれ変わる。

I want to make my own pace of new life. I still remain in KHAOS.
I don't still see anything , however , can a ray of hope lead me from
the state of nothing?

Human being is born , lives, and dies . Is this only one time(cycle)?
We bud to bask in the sunshine of spring , and a new life awakes in us.
We walk , fall down , however , we live a new life as spring is coming.
Human beings are re-born again and again.

未だ残る冬の風景の中、少しずつ春の顔が・・・

The winter scene still remains , however,
at the same time the spring face appears little by little.

最近　昔お付き合いがあった皆さんと久々にコンタクトすることが
続きました。なんだか照れくさいもんですね(笑)。長い間ご無沙汰していた時間をどうして埋めようか・・・なかなか良い言葉が出ないものです。
でも、自分にも自分史があったんだ、と思えて　ご縁を頂いた皆さんに
感謝です。

昔の夢を良く見たりもします。これは苦しかったこと厭だったことが
多いようです。

こんな自分の過去への訪問はきっと自分を見つめなおし、いろんな人、
いろんな出来事から未来への励ましをもらっている　と信じています。

Recently I contacted persons whom I have associated with once.
Somehow I am embarrassed(ha-ha!). How can we make up for the blank time
we have been silent for a long time? I can not say good and fit words
easily.
However, meeting them again , I know that I have my own history and
appreciate all the persons who have done with me.

And I sometimes dream of my old days. Most of dreams are of what I had
a hard time then and I felt undesirable.

Anyway , to visit to my past time , I necessarily discover something new in myself and receive yell from many persons and many things(incidents) in past ,
I am confident!

Japan was hit by a mega-earthquake and tsunami.

However,we are encouraged by kindness and support from all the world.
We appreciate so much.

We would like to ask to all the world for Japan.

1.When the campaign of support or donation for disaster in Japan is held in　your nation and your town, please kindly co-operate.
Your co-operation, even a few or minimum, is very appreciated.

2.Please buy and use goods and services of Japan continuously.

3.Please keep and hold stocks of Japanese companies,Japanese national debt.And if possible, buy those. Please do not sell out.

From now, we need large funds to revive in Japan.

4.Japan needs a large of energy(gas and oil) and substances(material)
to rescue disaster areas and peoples and revive a country.
We hope you to ask and promote your government to supply to Japan
as possible.

From the aboves, I hope you to participate in and do even the only one ,very appreciated.

And more,

5.Please go to and visit to Japan ,and see Japan.
And ,please tell your friends about Japan and
invite them to visit Japan too.

6.Please pray for Japanese and all the people in the world in safe
and peaceful, and wish God bless.

Peoples in the world said we are friends and we are always together.
We think and hope so ,too.

sincerely
