Falling behind the times

"Hurry up a little bit" watercolor F4

When I drew the picture I posted on my blog the other day、I took some photos along the way.、I tried connecting it。For the past six months, my mind has been occupied with "video" and its editing.、Anyway, take as many photos as possible along the way.。

While walking、The word "don't miss out" comes from the earphones.、caught in my ear。A certain businessman says, ``I do ○○ to keep up with the trends of the times.''、I think it was something that would normally be ignored.、“The waves of the times、If you were in the midst of those waves, would you understand?”、My usual rebellious spirit、In particular, it seems that he has “saved” those words.。

Maybe、Things I'm currently worried about when editing videos、Is it to ride the "waves of the times"? In my own history of painting, the ``age of painting'' has already ended.。I remember writing that in some article.。However, I am still drawing pictures.、Has the era of painting already ended? it is、Because I feel that ``painting is my destiny.''。No matter how outdated、It can't be helped if it's fate、そう考えているからだ。- Then、Why videos now?。

For one thing, computers have become easier.、This is because “moving pictures = moving images” are within your reach (?)。The world is full of videos。The world of video that could only be accessed by specialized companies such as TV companies.、young people use smartphones、Instagram、YouTube etc.、I write it casually, like writing a diary.。Even if it's not oil paint、Even if it's not watercolor paint、Let's paint with our new paints。I feel like that's what they're saying。In that case, I would also like to try drawing with new tools.。But、Is thinking that way a mentality of not wanting to catch up with the times?、I can't decide now。(Currently it's still not good at all)、If I try a little harder, I can also use "new paint"、Maybe I can draw a new picture of myself again.、I'm somehow holding on to hope。

early morning walking

I encountered parishioners burning fallen leaves in the precincts (around 7:30).

This morning (12/18)、Exactly 1 month of walking experience。For now, the walking continues.。Especially in the past few days, they fly out an hour before dawn.。The minimum temperature has fallen below freezing、I actually prefer the cold、That doesn't bother me at all。If it snows、The type that jumps outside with joy (just like a dog)。

in my case、If your only goal is to maintain your health, you won't continue walking.。actual、It's always been like that。Well then、Why walking now? When asked, "Because it's getting cold"、Maybe that's the real reason。

When I was in junior high school、I loved walking alone in the snowy forest.。Especially if it's early in the morning。A tingling cold skin sensation、It felt good to be alone。"Winter early morning walking"、I did that、It may be an opportunity for me to regain some of my animal-like sensibilities, so to speak.。In that sense、I may not be walking anymore in the summer.。

Even so、Many people walk early in the morning。This inhibits my feeling of being “alone”。Still、If you observe carefully、many people are like me、They seem to prefer "walking alone"。I don't walk in the evening。I sometimes go for sightseeing instead of walking on my bike.、around the park etc.、People are walking one after another as if forming a formation.。I can't muster up the courage to walk in it.。The strength of people's health consciousness、Maybe it's because it's a little creepy in a way.。健康志向が強いということは逆に言えば常々将来の健康に不安を感じていることの裏返しなのだろうか健康を崩すということがどんな悲劇をもたらすか日々ニュースなどで肌身に感じるからなのかもしれないその点には私は鈍感らしい

“Results” of “failure”

“Hurry up a little” Watercolor/F4 2020.12.12

“Failure” and “success” seem to be diametrically opposed concepts.。seemingly incompatible、It's like two sides of the same coin、If you look closely, there is only a slight difference in thickness between the "front" and "back"。What about “failure” and “success”?。“Results” are、You can gain from both failure and success.。in my case、Especially learning from failure、I think it used to be big。

There are cases where you can learn a lot from failure.、Although it was successful、An example of a lucky success that led to the next big failure、we are daily、have experienced (have experienced) historically。"Failure is the basis of success"、It's not dead yet。

“Why did you fail?”。Calm and persistent analysis、From the often-mentioned “mini-success experience”、I think it's a very proactive attitude in a sense.。Don't turn away from failure、Beyond the criticism of failure from someone else's perspective、This is because they have an orientation that affirms the future.。in the first place、You can't even fail if you don't take action.。After that, when you make that kind of orientation、It can be said that "failure" is already a worthy "achievement".。

We (Japanese)、We tend to belittle our failures by saying things like ``I'm not good enough'' or ``I caused trouble for other people.''、“Fear” and “Hide” failure、Because of this, there seems to be a national trait that makes us especially want to blame others for their failures.。Rather than such "individualization of failure"、Recognizing that “failure is a shared asset”、Analyze it based on the opinions of many people.、Connect to the future、I want to be persistent and calm.。What is needed to develop such national character?、in our country、Until now, such logic has not been developed.、I haven't really thought about it much。Amidst the coronavirus pandemic、Every day I feel that again。
