気がつけば１１月か。こうも月日が経つのは早いものか。時が平等に流れないことを歳をとるに従って痛いほど身に染みる。そして合気道をし始めて、刹那の間合いや調子を操る感覚は、時を感じる感覚が変化してくる。時にスローモーションにも見え、同時に時は瞬く間に過ぎ去る。そして、季節はあっという間に巡り、自分は人知れず老けていき、気がつけば子は大人になり、子を頼りにし始める。なん毎回も繰り返してきた人間の一生は、個人差はあれど、さほど変わらないのかもしれない。

稽古を繰り返す。それが本質だ。稽古を繰り返す。そこに何があるか、知らない。明日の稽古に何があるか知りたい。今日の稽古を経たあとの、明日の稽古に何があるか。それは誰も知らない自分に会う唯一の方法だ。さあその自分に会おう。
Before I knew it, it was already November. How quickly time passes. As I grow older, I feel more deeply that time doesn’t flow equally for everyone. Since starting Aikido, I’ve come to sense how the awareness of timing — the control of distance and rhythm in a fleeting instant — changes my perception of time itself. At times, it feels as though everything moves in slow motion, yet simultaneously, time slips away in the blink of an eye.
The seasons pass before I realize it. Quietly, I grow older. My child becomes an adult, and before long, I find myself beginning to rely on them. Humanity has repeated this same cycle countless times. Though details differ from person to person, perhaps our lives are not so different after all.

To train again and again — that is the essence.
We repeat practice, not knowing what lies within it.
I want to know what tomorrow’s training will bring — what awaits after today’s practice.
That is the only way to meet the version of myself that no one yet knows.
So, let’s go meet that self.
