2キロのジョグ・1000メートル×3のインターバル走・5キロのジョグ、締めて10キロ。雨が心地よかった。夜は目黒のタイムアウトで過ごす。大勢の若者に混じり多くを学ぶ。気付かされ、くらくらしてしまって、これは大変だ。店が静かになってから店主と話し込む。健康が一番、などと確かめ合う。棚の上の方に『Georgia O’Keeffe: A Portrait by Alfred Stieglitz』が置かれてあることを今夜知る。好きな写真集だが、所有はしていない。久しぶりにじっくりと読んだ。これからはいつでも読める。うれしい。深夜に帰ってきて猫とたっぷり遊ぶ。永井隆博士の『長崎の鐘』を手に取る。夜更かしとなる。
A 2 km jog, three 1,000-meter intervals, and a 5 km jog—making a total of 10 km. The rain felt pleasant.
In the evening, I spent time at Timeout in Meguro. Surrounded by many young people, I learned a great deal. The realizations left me reeling—quite overwhelming, in fact. After the place quieted down, I had a long talk with the owner. We reaffirmed that health is the most important thing.
Tonight I noticed Georgia O’Keeffe: A Portrait by Alfred Stieglitz placed high on the shelf. It’s a photography book I love, though I don’t own it. I lingered over its pages for the first time in ages. From now on, I can read it anytime—I’m glad.
Returning home late at night, I played with the cat at length, then picked up Dr. Takashi Nagai’s The Bells of Nagasaki. It turned into a late night.
