かさなった事物のあいだを大切にする。
なぜならばその隙間が、宙ぶらりんを可能にするから。
何かになりそうでもあり、このままでもあるかもしれない気配。
きめ細やかにある事象が砕かれて、なめらかになって、
なめらかになればなるほど、それらのあいだは曖昧になっていく。
どうやらそれは、存在を求めているのではないようだ。
ただ、たまたまに、出会うことを大切にする。
私は出会いがしらに、そのようにあることを受け入れる。
I take good care of the gaps between sheaves,
because they allow things to hang suspended.
They hold the potential to become something,
or the promise of remaining as they are.

Events are ground fine and worn smooth.
The smoother they become,
the blurrier the in-between becomes.
They seem not to seek existence.

They seem not to seek existence.
However, they treasure chance encounters with stalks.
I will accept these meetings as they are,
when they occur.
