IMAGE: It is commonly said that some people stand at the crossroads in their lives, but that is not accurate. In truth, everyone is always standing at a fork in the path in their life. Should they go this way or that way? They have to choose one way or the other. They lose the way.

俗に人生の十字路というが、それは正確ではない。人間は本当は、いつでも二つの道の分岐点に立たされているのだ。この道をとるべきか、あの方か。どちらかを選ばなければならない。迷う。 – 岡本太郎 (1911 – 1996): 『自分の中に毒を持て』 (Arek SochaによるPixabayからの画像) (Google Translateのエンジンを使用した、Sound of Textによるテキスト読み上げ) More »

The months and days…

IMAGE: The months and days are the travellers of eternity. The years that come and go are also voyagers. Those who float away their lives on ships or who grow old leading horses are forever journeying, and their homes are wherever their travels take them. Many of the men of old died on the road.

月日は百代(はくたい)の過客(くわかく(かかく))にして、行き交ふ(ゆきこう)年もまた旅人なり。舟の上に生涯(しやうがい(しょうがい))を浮かべ、馬の口とらへて(とらえて)老いを迎ふる(むかうる)者は、日々旅にして、旅を栖(すみか)とす。古人も多く旅に死せるあり。 – 松尾芭蕉 (1644 – 94): 『おくのほそ道[奥の細道]』(冒頭) (kevboynetによるPixabayからの画像) (Google Translateのエンジンを使用した、Sound of Textによるテキスト読み上げ) More »

IMAGE: God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other. Living one day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a time, Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace, Taking, as Jesus did, This sinful world as it is, Not as I would have it, Trusting that You will make all things right, If I surrender to Your will, So that I may be reasonably happy in this life, And supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.

神よ、変えられないものを心穏やかに受け入れる気品を、変えるべきものを変える勇気を、そしてこの二つのものを見分ける知恵を、私にお与えください。一日一日を生き、一刻一刻を楽しみ、平安への道として苦難を受け入れ、イエスがされたように、この罪深い世界をあるがままに受け止め、私ではなく、あなたが全てを正されるだろうと信じて、あなたの御心に身を委ねれば、現世ではそれ相応の幸福を、そして来世では永遠にあなたとの至福を、享受できますことを。アーメン。 – ラインホルド・ニーバー (1892 – 1971) / (神よ、変えられない…) (sspiehs3によるPixabayからの画像) (Google Translateのエンジンを使用した、Sound of Textによるテキスト読み上げ) More »
