HAPPY NEW YEAR

あけましておめでとうございます

一年の中で一番

「日本」を感じるお正月

たくさんの挨拶が飛び交い

人と人とのつながりを

普段より色濃く感じられる時だからこそ

やっぱりみんな生きている限り

どうしようもなく独りなんだなと思う

親は時々子供の幸せ以上に

子供を幸せにしようとする

でもそれは人間のアブユーズなんだ

といつか聞いたけれど

私は自分の幸せ以上に

自分を幸せにしてしまわないよう

気をつけながら

また音楽をする時には必ず

自分を会場の外に置け、

目を閉じて、

自分だけでやっていると失敗する、

と言われているように

自分自身を常に自分の外に置いて

いろいろなことをコントロールできるように

そしてよく

自分を信じて、などと言われるけれど

私は自分を信じてしまったら

大変なことになってしまうと思うので

自分のことをあてにせず

信じることなく

また新たな一年
生きていけたらと思います

今年もよろしくお願い致します

Happy New Year everyone!!!

May 2012 be a great year for us all!!!
