鈴虫が大爆音で唄の次元を超えて大騒ぎしている。急に夏の終わりをつげる蝶々が夏の暑さからようやく逃れられたと言わんばかりにたくさん飛んで、それを迎え入れる花たちが咲き始めている。こんなに不快な暑さの夏なのに、やっぱり夏が終わるのが寂しい。季節は流れる。わかっているのになぜだろう、心の隅にしくしく音がする。

あまり説明のない稽古をした。長い時間技をしている時間が取れた。いかに無駄に説明しているかがよくわかる。説明をしすぎる稽古は嫌いなのに、やっぱり自分がしていることがよくわかる。先生が不在の間は自分を動画で録画して反省することが日課となる。
The bell crickets are so loud that they have gone beyond singing and seem to be holding a grand commotion of their own.
Suddenly, butterflies that seem to announce the end of summer are everywhere, as if they have finally escaped the oppressive heat. Flowers are beginning to bloom to welcome them.
Even though this summer has been unbearably hot and uncomfortable, I still feel a sense of sadness as it comes to an end.
The seasons move on.
I know that.
And yet, for some reason, there is a quiet ache somewhere in the corner of my heart.

Today I led a practice session with very little explanation.
As a result, we were able to spend a much longer time simply practicing techniques.
It reminded me how often I explain things unnecessarily.
Ironically, even though I dislike training sessions filled with excessive explanations, I can clearly see that I sometimes do exactly that myself.
While my teacher is away, I have made it a daily habit to record my practice sessions and review them afterward.
Watching myself on video reveals things I cannot see while teaching. It has become a valuable part of my own training and reflection.
