光希まさとの徒然草「徒然草 現代篇 －時を超える旅」０７４

光希まさとの創造の世界へようこそ！

つれづれなるままに、硯にむかひて、心に移りゆくよしなし事を、そこはかとなく書きつくれば、あやしうこそものぐるほしけれ。

長月二十五日、成田を立ちて、はるか一万二千里の彼方なるパリへと旅立ちぬ。空路ドーハを経由し、二十時の刻を費やして、やうやくにしてパリの地を踏みたり。

思へば、昔の人は歩みを重ね、馬に乗り、あるいは船に揺られて、幾月もの歳月をかけて旅をせしものを。されど今や、人智の極みたる飛行機にて、わずか一日にて到達せしこと、まことに驚くべきことなり。

さらに不思議なるは、時差というもの。二十時の旅にて六時もの時を遡りし如し。まるで過去へと旅したるが如き感覚に、心躍らずにはおられず。

パリの地に降り立ちし時、目に映る街並みの様は、さながら絵画の中に迷い込みたる如し。芸術の都の名に恥じぬ景色に、心奪われぬ。

早速に近き麺麭屋に赴きしに、苺のチーズタルトに卵のタルト、生ハムにサラミ、チェダーチーズにクロワッサンと、美食の数々。舌鼓を打ちつつ、かくも豊かなる食の都に来たりしことを、心より喜びぬ。

されば、人智の進歩は、われらに時空を超える力を与えしに等しきか。一日にて千年の歴史を持つ異国に辿り着き、その文化に触れ、味わうことを得る。これぞまさに、現代の奇跡というべきものなり。

かくて、旅は始まりぬ。この地にて、いかなる驚きと感動に出会わん。心躍らせつつ、明日なる冒険に思いを馳せるものなり。

つれづれなるままに　光希まさと

“A Journey Through Time” – A Modern Tsurezuregusa

As I sit idly by my inkstone, letting my brush wander aimlessly across the page, I find myself pondering the curious ways of the world.

On the 25th day of the ninth month, I departed from Narita, embarking on a journey to Paris, a distant land twelve thousand kilometers away. By air, via Doha, after twenty hours of travel, I finally set foot on Parisian soil.

In times past, people would walk for days, ride horses, or be tossed about on ships, spending months on their travels. Yet now, through the pinnacle of human ingenuity – the airplane – we reach our destination in but a single day. Truly, this is a marvel to behold.

Even more wondrous is the concept of time difference. In our twenty-hour journey, we seemed to travel six hours back in time. It felt as though we had journeyed into the past itself, a notion that filled me with excitement.

Upon landing in Paris, the cityscape that greeted my eyes was like stepping into a painting. The scenery, befitting the city’s reputation as the capital of art, captivated my heart entirely.

Without delay, I ventured to a nearby bakery. There, I indulged in a feast of strawberry cheese tarts, egg tarts, prosciutto, salami, cheddar cheese, and croissants. As I savored these delicacies, I rejoiced at having arrived in this city renowned for its culinary delights.

Perhaps the progress of human knowledge has granted us power akin to transcending time and space. In a single day, we can reach a foreign land with a thousand years of history, experience its culture, and taste its flavors. Surely, this is nothing short of a modern miracle.

And so, our journey begins. What wonders and emotions await us in this land? With a heart full of anticipation, I look forward to tomorrow’s adventures.
