まったく暇じゃないのに、まったく暇なんだ。やらないといけないことだらけなのに、なにもやることがない。人生はそんなものなのかと考える。掃除一つ、草刈り一つやり始めたらキリがないから、程遠くて腰が上がらない。結果をみて時間を考えると、結局なにも手に入らない。わかっているのになぁといつも思う。今日も雨が降るのかと、ため息が出る。

この道場を始めて、3年が経つが、毎回稽古をカメラに収めている。それを見ることが私の教科書だ。メタ的視点で自分を見ているようで見られていないことをカメラの視点は教えてくれるし、稽古中には気付けない癖も見えてくる。残心の形をどうするのか、なぜそう終わるのか、それには理由がある。正しく技を理解することのために残心の形はとても大切なんだ。
Even though I am not busy at all, somehow I feel completely busy. There are countless things I should be doing, and yet it feels as though there is nothing to do. Sometimes I wonder if life is simply like that. Once you begin something like cleaning or cutting the grass, there is no end to it, and because the task feels so endless, it becomes difficult even to begin. When I think only about the result and the time it will take, it feels as though in the end nothing is truly gained. I know this already, and yet I still find myself thinking it over again and again. I let out a sigh, wondering if it will rain again today.

It has now been three years since starting this dojo, and I record every practice session on camera. Watching those recordings has become my textbook. The camera’s perspective teaches me that even when I think I am observing myself objectively, there are still things I fail to see. It also reveals habits and tendencies that I cannot notice during practice itself. How should zanshin be expressed? Why does a technique end in a certain way? There are reasons for these things. The form of zanshin is extremely important for truly understanding a technique correctly.
