もう１ヶ月半電車に乗っていない。美術館も図書館も閉まっているし、行くところがないからでもあるが、忙しいからでもある。大学もオンラインの授業をすることになり、そのための動画などの編集で、毎日１０時間以上、パソコンの前から離れることができない。

「今年は動画編集できるようになりたいなー」なんて考えていたら、いきなりやらざるを得なくなった。「渡りに舟」どころか、岸辺からいきなり舟に引きずり込まれ、いきなり一人で舵を取りながら漕げ、といわれた感じ。しかも目の前に急流があるから、その前に岸につけろという。そんな無茶な、と思ったがすでに水の上だ。見よう見まねでやるしかない、と思ってはみたものの、やはり苦手は苦手。毎日ちょっとしたことでニッチもさっちも行かなくなる。でもなぜか、一晩寝ると、あら不思議、昨日のアレはなんだったのか。But、急流はどんどん迫る。早くなんとかせねば、と考えだすと眠れない。

At times like that、田舎はいい。自転車で１０分も行くと、もう畑や田んぼだらけ。すれ違う人もいないからマスクも顎の下にずらしたまま。道端には春の野草、花が満開だ。「イモカタバミ」も初めて知った。見れば確かにカタバミの葉のかたち。マメ科の花は「ヤハズノエンドウ」、別名カラスのエンドウだ。コオドリコソウも覚えた。タンポポはもちろん、菖蒲も藤も満開。But、それを愛でる人がいない。Suddenly、レイチェル・カーソンの「サイレント・スプリング（沈黙の春）」を思い出した。

彼女は、DDTの薬害による自然界の物言わぬ死、鳥も歌わない、昆虫もいない世界を、「沈黙」というキーワードで環境破壊の恐ろしさを告発した。コロナで恐れ慄いている今は、鳥もいる、至るところで蝶も見る。川では鯉が跳ねているのも見た。But、人がいない。別な意味での「沈黙の春」だと思った。コロナは仕方ない。But、この異常な騒ぎようはなんなのか。むしろ人災を拡大しているのではないか。おそらく日本では、コロナウィルスによる感染死より、経済的に追い詰められた自殺者の方が多くなるだろうと危惧している。４月中の収入、社会人になって以来、初めてゼロになりました。

Do children today play tag or hide-and-seek?。I haven't looked into it in particular.、The relationship between such children、A safe and unknown place (from an adult's point of view, it's not very friendly)、Mysterious enough for children) may have disappeared.、make a wild imagination。

every day of my childhood、Every day was spent playing like that.。There were many children too、There was plenty of vacant land、There were almost countless safe and unknown hiding places.。I tried hiding in the grass, but、When I looked around, I was surprised to see butterfly pupae all over the place.、My brother fell asleep in a hidden place.、I also remember how he never came out and made a big fuss.。

It's not hide and seek、Twice they sent out search parties to look for me.。Once, probably during the winter of my second year of junior high school.。While setting a rabbit trap、When I went to a mountain far away where there was a ranch.。Standing near the top with a great view、I could see snow clouds developing in the distance and approaching us.。I didn't have a watch or anything、I think it was already past 3pm.。

My intuition told me it was going to snow, and I immediately skied down the slope.、I made my way home at once.。I regretted for a moment that I had come too far, but、There's no time to be lazy。

From home to there、Even in summer, it usually takes more than 3 hours to walk.。On the way down、Even though I'm wearing skis、It wasn't long before the snow clouds caught up with me.。It started snowing before we were halfway there、It started to get darker because of that.。Gradually it became a blizzard、Eventually, I started to lose track of where I was walking and how I was walking.。

It's getting darker around here、The snowstorm is starting to get stronger、i was pretty anxious。The moment when the blizzard ran out of breath、I could see (or so I thought) a glimpse of the light of a mercury lamp in the distance.。Since I started following the sure path home、I met Light, a search team commissioned by my worried parents.。I got home around 8pm while being scolded by them.。The snowstorm was about to stop、It was already midnight around my house, which was far away from the village.。My father just said, ``Hurry up and eat!''。I realized for the first time that I had lost my goggles and woolen head cap along the way.。

Yesterday put away the atelier、Off the gas、Remove the outlet of the refrigerator、Production in the Shimokita of this year over the vacuum cleaner to the whole is over。We went to look at the mountains and rivers about 3-4 hours in complete rest today。

Whether the mountain is also have been utilized、When took time a child is small、Grass enough to worry about whether this remains the road would cut off the overlays、That the trees were not put out the branches to the road、It was supposed to pass by until the big car as before。Although there is no paved been developed in its own way (a small cliff collapsed two places、Falling rocks in one place)、I was able to travel with peace of mind。

Shimokita Peninsula has many wetlands in one piece。Therefore wetland plants、For example, such as skunk cabbage can see plenty from sea level 0m、Moreover, huge。There in the place where puddles everywhere if Hashire the mountain road、Moreover, instead of "reservoir" If you look closely、Flowing at quite a speed。Full of spring water from everywhere、It flows through the road、They are are creating a reservoir。

Fog are many (less daylight hours)、In the cool (there but、Not frigid)、Land of granite and sand、There is a virgin forest。Given the like、Animals and plants、In particular, the unique evolution in plants、Such as endemic species were observed (Otherwise it)。The "layer is", is、Since coherent investigation is not nearly done。First place in the plains、As both sides are national highway、It has also been used for human life in its own way。If the、It looks the same as the nature of Kintaroame specific woodlands in Japan、Also true also of course as not to catch the interest of scholars。It seems there is a quite peculiar phase and try to actually investigation but、Research expenses also is the likely "wetland state."。
