補色

「色相環」中学生の時、美術で習った。テストのために覚えたけど、今、改めて、「補色」って補い合う色って書くんだな。対極にあるのに。

今日も楽しい1日になる。なぜなら、合気道➕バンドの日だから。合気道で思いっきり体を動かして汗だくになるのがすごく気持ちい。合気道は、目と頭と体をめちゃ使うから、集中する。その後のバンド活動では、ギター。指先まで使う。目も耳も使う。合気道は、mindだけど、音楽はfeelingだ。私の全てを使う場所。だから気持ちがいい！生き生き、伸び伸び。解放。

合気道のお稽古も、音楽も、相手がいて、息を合わせる。家で一人で気ままに自由に過ごすのも大好き。私のためだけに生きる時間もめちゃめちゃ贅沢だ。その上で、日、月は、人と関わることの楽しさを教えてくれる。体感させてくれる。totally opsite だからこそ際立つ二種類の幸せ。

今の生活に心から満足している。幸せだ。ありがとう！

Complementary Colors

“Color wheel”. I leaned about it in art class when I was in middle school. I memorized it back then just for the tests, but thinking about it now, I realized “complementary colors” are written as “colors that complement each other”. Even though they sit at complete opposite ends.

Today is going to be another fun day. That’s because today is Aikido + Band day! Moving my body as hard as I can in Aikido and getting drenched in sweat feels so good. Aikido really engages my eyes, mind, and body, so it takes intense focus. Then during band practice afterward, I play the guitar. I use all the way my fingertips. I use my eyes and ears, too. Aikido is about mind, but music is about feeling. Both are space where I use every single part of myself. That’s why it feels so amazing! Lively, free, and liberating.

Both Aikido practice and music involve having a partner and breathing in sync with them. At the same time, I also love spending time at home alone, completely free to do whatever I want. Time spent living just for myself is such an incredible luxury. On top of that, Sundays and Mondays teach me the joy of connecting with others. They let me experience it firsthand. it’s precisely because they are totally opposite that these two types of happiness stand out so clearly.

I am truly, deeply satisfied with my life right now. I’m happy. Thank you! Grateful for everything.
