Space carries with it time
Noserumi
good morning.
As rain continues day after day across the Japanese archipelago, we pray that the damage to your areas is not too severe and that there are no lives in danger.
As long as humans are allowed to live on this earth, going against the flow of nature is an unnatural act.
This once again brings to light the discrepancies that this brings.
But at the same time, it is the same body that feels a deep sense of awe for nature.
For example, when you encounter a soft drizzle that is typical of Japan, you feel a sense of calm, like you could hear the whispering of each drop of rain from the veranda forever.
Perhaps it is precisely because of nature that we are able to possess all of the emotions of joy, anger, sadness and happiness.
I have been living in a Japanese house that is nearly 90 years old for the past three years, and in this space where the boundaries between inside and outside are unclear,
I spend my days feeling how smooth and blended the boundary between nature and humans is.
"Space carries with it time"
Perhaps the fact that we think like this is proof that we have the capacity to blend in perfectly with this grey world.
Looking around the city, you can see buildings with uniform materials and expressions, and convenient but boring services are lined up in a narrow space.
No matter where you go you can have the same feeling.
Even when we travel, we are less likely to engage with everyday activities such as interacting with people on social media or going to work, and instead immerse our bodies and senses in the sensations we experience.
Even when we encounter the same scenery or things, the color actually changes from moment to moment, and what we feel is always dependent on our own state.
The space, the scenery, everything that appears before my eyes is a connection between me, someone,
I want to live each day feeling that I am carrying with me the time of invisible things from the past.
Noserumi
