普通の月と大きい月と黄色い月とオレンジの月と、たくさん種類があるものが毎晩々々夜空に現れるのにそれを全く不思議に思わずに我々は過ごす。あんなに大きな不思議な物体をなんとも思わずに数万年という人類は見過ごしてきたという事実がまた興味深い。村上春樹の１Q８４には確か二つの月が出てきたなと思い出す。今二つの月が出ていてもきっともともとあったような顔をして見過ごせるのかもしれない。この大きな月を見過ごせるなら。

不思議なことは世の中にはたくさんある。「ある」の種類があるだけ、ある。科学の世界にある。イメージの中にある。メガネを通してある。（例えば可視光線以外の粒子も可視化できるメガネにはうつる、それはあるということだろう）となると、あるを制限してはいけない。あるを知れるメガネを探すことが大切になる。合気道はその一つだ。
There are ordinary moons, large moons, yellow moons, orange moons. Night after night, these different moons appear in the sky, yet we pass them without finding it strange at all. The fact that humanity has spent tens of thousands of years looking up at such a vast and mysterious object without thinking much of it is, in itself, fascinating.
Seeing the moon tonight reminded me of Haruki Murakami’s 1Q84, where there were two moons in the sky. I wonder—if there were two moons above us right now, would we simply accept them as if they had always been there? If we can overlook something as extraordinary as this great moon, perhaps we could.

There are many mysteries in this world. There are different kinds of “existence”—things that exist in the world of science, things that exist in imagination, and things that exist through the lenses we look through. For example, if there were glasses capable of making invisible particles visible, those particles would appear before our eyes. Wouldn’t that mean they exist?
If so, we should be careful not to limit what can exist. What matters is finding the lenses through which we can perceive it.
For me, Aikido is one of those lenses.
