about

一人でいるとはどういうことなのだろう?この社会では人同士がつながっているのにつながっていない。自然が近いのに、もう感じられない。雨の後の土の臭い。水の流れの音。雲の曖昧な形。このようなことをなぜこれほど早く忘れてしまうのだろう?

時間の流れが変わってきたのだ。自然の時間の流れは遅い。自然のことは一瞬では理解できない。しかし、現在社会の時間の流れが速まっている。情報量が多く、集中する時間が少なく、自然の時間の速さではもう追いつけない。

現在社会の時間の速さで、自然は理解できない。いつも急いでいて、一瞬しか見ることができないのだ。しかし、人間は自然から生まれたものである。自然が理解できなくなれば、自分も理解できなくなるだろう。そして魂に傷を負っていても、気がつかないかもしれない。

現代の人間は精神の回復が必要なのである。しかし、そのために時間が必要だ。自然の時間。雲が動く時間。森が育つ時間。山が作られる時間。山ができる時間。自分を止め、息に集中すれば、青空の色に集中すれば、波の音に集中すれば、時間の流れが少しでも変わるかもしれない。そして、自身の回復も始まるのである。

現在、梅レコードは、日本、船橋市の Charles.A.D のアルバム "Dry Flower" をリリースする。



What does it mean to be alone? In our society people are connected, and yet at the same time are not. We are close to nature, and yet we can no longer feel it. The smell of the soil after rain. The sound of running water. The amorphous shapes of the clouds. Why do we forget these things so quickly?

The flow of time has changed. The flow of time in nature is slow. We cannot understand nature with a single instance's thought. But the flow of time in our society is speeding up. With too much information, and too little time to concentrate, with nature's time we can no longer keep up.

At the same time, with the speed of time in our society, we can no longer understand nature. Always rushing, we only get a fleeting glimpse. But humans are creatures born from nature. If we lose the ability to understand nature, we'll also lose the ability to understand ourselves. And then, even if our souls have been damaged, perhaps we won't even realise.

We are in need of spiritual healing. But for this, we are also in need of time. Nature's time. The time of the moving clouds. The time of forests growing. The time of mountains forming. Perhaps if one stops oneself and focuses on the breath, focuses on the colour of the blue sky, focuses on the sound of the waves, the flow of time may change a little. And then spiritual healing will begin.
