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、日暮らし、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。
中秋の名月、夜空に輝く月を仰ぎ見れば、はるか遠き地にある友を思い出でずにはいられず。独眼竜の勇気を持ち、己が夢を追いて異国の地へと旅立ちし友よ。汝が安寧を、この月に祈らずにはおられぬ。
芸術の都に身を置き、新たなる美を追い求める友の姿を思えば、わが胸も高鳴る。されど、その道のりの険しさを知るがゆえに、心配の念も去来す。月よ、どうか彼の旅路を照らし給え。
やがて我の心もまた旅立たん。同じ空の下、同じ月を仰ぎ見るとき、友の無事を祈る心は、きっと届くものと信ず。たとえ遠く離れていても、この想いは月の光と共に、彼の元へと届くことだろう。
夢を追う者の勇気、それを見守る者の想い。この二つが織りなす糸こそ、人の世の美しきものなり。月の光の如く、その絆は清らかにして強し。
つれづれなるままに、月を眺めつつ、友の無事と夢の成就を祈る。その祈りが天に届き、やがては喜びの涙となりて降り注ぐことを願いてやまず。
月よ、どうか我が想いを友に伝えよ。そして、彼の道を照らし続けよ。
つれづれなるままに 光希まさと
Essays in Idleness: Modern Edition “A Prayer to the Moon”
As I sit here idly, letting my brush dance across the paper, I find myself pondering the fleeting nature of all things.
On this night of the harvest moon, as I gaze upon its radiance in the sky, my thoughts inevitably turn to a friend in a distant land. O friend, who with the courage of a one-eyed dragon, set forth to pursue your dreams in a foreign country. I cannot help but pray for your well-being to this very moon.
Imagining you in that city of art, seeking new forms of beauty, my heart swells with excitement. Yet, knowing the challenges of your path, worry also creeps in. O moon, I beseech you to light the way on their journey.
Soon, I too shall embark on a journey. When we gaze upon the same sky, the same moon, I believe my prayers for your safety will surely reach you. Though we may be far apart, these thoughts will travel with the moonlight to where you are.
The courage of those who chase their dreams, and the thoughts of those who watch over them – these two threads weave together to form one of life’s most beautiful tapestries. Like the light of the moon, this bond is pure and strong.
As I gaze at the moon in my idle moments, I pray for your safety and the fulfillment of your dreams. May these prayers reach the heavens and eventually rain down as tears of joy.
O moon, please convey my thoughts to my friend. And continue to illuminate their path.
