Letter November "A flower born by a swan"
立冬を過ぎて、暦の上ではもう冬。
立冬の末候では雪中花の異名を持つ水仙の花が咲き始める時季とされています。
歌人 与謝野晶子は寒い最中に咲く水仙を「白鳥が生んだ花のよう」と表現しました。
そう思えば、水仙の花が白鳥の羽のように思えませんか。
― 今月の大阿闍梨のひと言 ―
許したいのに許すことができなくて、
忘れたいのに忘れることができなくて
捨ててしまいたいのに捨てられない心を転じてこそ、心の幸せ。
塩沼亮潤 「幸いをいただきまして」より
After Ritto, it is already winter according to the calendar.
It is said that at the end of winter, narcissus, also known as snow flowers, begin to bloom.
Poet Akiko Yosano described narcissus blooming in the cold as “like flowers born by swans.”
Come to think of it, don't you think that narcissus flowers are like swan wings?
[ Monthly Word ]
I want to forgive, but I can't.
I want to forget, but I can't.
I want to throw it away, but I can't.
Only by changing such a mind can happiness be found in the heart.
