森に身を置く
儀式でも何でもないですが
ここ数年は制作時期に入ると森の中を
転々とする
最初の何日かは
テントのシート一枚を通してダイレクトに聞こえて来るいろいろな音に敏感になる
例えば 獣の動く音や振動 息遣い、風で葉と葉が擦れる音、木々の中をすり抜けて届く川の音
真っ暗な夜の森
他のあらゆる生き物のなかで自分だけが異物としてころがってる。
横になり目をつむっていても耳が音をひらう
リラックスしてるどころかなかなかの覚醒と集中力と想像力が 絶えず自分の内側を支配する。
やがて疲れて、眠りにつくと次の瞬間オーケストラのような鳥たちの声で目が覚める。
そこで今まで自分が森の一部になってたと気づく
どこかでうっすらと日が昇りやがて白々として朝になる。
１週間で慣れてくる。
２週間もするとだんだんここが普通になってくる
３週間目には自分のペースがつかめて本当に居心地がよくなってくる
何の寂しさも孤独感も不安もないこの地球に抱かれた感じに包まれる
森の一部になり、山の一部になり、それは地球の一部で、それは宇宙の一部でもある。http://ryosakukotaka.jp/earthvibration/

Putting myself in the forest
It is not a ritual or anything, but these few years, I have moved from one place to another in the forest during my working season.
For the first few nights, I become sensitized to the various sounds I hear directly through the thin sheet of my tent.
The noise or vibration of animals moving around, their breath, rustle of leaves in the breeze, and the sound of the river reaches through the trees.
The night in the forest is completely dark
And I am lying there as the only foreign object among all the other living things.
My ears catch any sound even when I lie closing my eyes.
Instead of being relaxed, what constantly dominate inside of myself are a considerable wakefulness, concentration and imagination.
I get tired after a while and fall asleep, and in the next moment, I am awakened by the symphony of the birds.
Then I realize that I had been a part of the forest until now.
The sun rises somewhere and before long a faint light appears, then the morning comes.
In one week, I get used to it.
In two weeks, being here becomes quite normal for me.
In the third week, I pick up my own pace and start feeling very comfortable
and am filled with the feeling of being embraced by the Earth – with no sorrow, loneliness and anxiety.
Becoming a part of the forest and a part of mountains is, at the same time, to become a part of the Earth and the universe.
