皆さま、クリスマス休暇やお正月休みは終わってお仕事にお戻りでしょうか?
The Christmas holidays and the New Year holiday end, and has everybody returned to work?
今年はいつもの行く神社のうち２社に娘と一緒に初もうでをしてきました。
I was paying the first visit of the year to 2 companies of inside in the shrine where usual goes with my daughter this year.
南国は温かくて天気のいい日が続いたのですが、本日から雪模様の場所も多いようです
The tropics were warm, and a fine day continued, there also seem to be a lot of locations of the snow patterns from today.
いつも行く神社には樹齢９００年を超える巨樹がご神木としてまつられています
A giant tree beyond an age of the tree for 900 years is deified as a sacred tree in the shrine where I always go.
根本は大きな祠になっていて(広さは１２㎡以上)
Foundation is a big small shrine, and (for the size, more than 12 square meters).
僕が小学校のころは自由に入れていたので祠の中も、幹も枝も僕はよじ登って遊んでました
I kept around an elementary school freely, so I climbed the inside in a small shrine, a trunk and a branch, and I was playing.
今は柵に囲まれしっかりご神体として保護されています
It's circled by a barrier now and protected as the divine object tightly.
この木は９００年以上にわたり、人々の生活の変遷を眺めていると思うと、感慨深いものがあります。
Just as this tree is looking at people's living change for more than 900, there is something filled with deep emotion.
９００年前というと日本は平安時代末期、ヨーロッパでは十字軍の時代ですよ。
これから現代までいくつもの時代を経ているんです。
When I say 900 years before, Japan is dying in the Heian Period and is the time of the crusade by Europe.
I'll pass through many times until today now.
おそらくこの巨木の幹にはいろんな時代の記憶が刻み込まれているのだと思います。
I think a memory in the various times is probably inscribed by a trunk of this big tree.
さて、私の正月というと、娘が帰ってきてくれた幸せなひと時を過ごせました
Now, when I said my New Year's, you could spend some happy time when my daughter was returning.
でも、もう大阪へ帰ってしまい、寂しくなってしまいました。
But, already return to Osaka and have become lonely.
みなさん、今年もお仕事にプライベートに、全力を尽くしましょう(^_-)-☆
By which everyone and this year will also do their best in privacy in work.
