心の中にある風景。木々の香り、里山にふくそよ風、川のせせらぎ、水滴の音、小鳥の囀り、雄大な山並み、私の中に在る風景と目の前の風景が重なった瞬間、私の存在は消失します。
私は自由。存在は風景の中に溶け込み、然るべきところに戻ってゆく。
私は道なき道を進んで行きます。
The landscapes I see in my heart. The smell of the woods, the breeze from the mountains, the rippling river, the sound of a water drop, birds singing, the majestic landscape of the mountains….
When my inner landscape meets the physical landscape, I disappear. I am free. I am nature and finally I am home.
I am walking on unknown paths.
