シアトルの春 動物たちのイースター
イースター サンデーは瞬く間に過ぎてしまいましたけれど、動物たちのイースターも取り上げなければなりませんでした。
イースター マンデーにはウサギのカップルが、私のガーデンに入り込んでおりました。
我がお花畑は、十重二十重に動物たちの侵入を防ぐための垣根が張り巡らされているのですのにです!
困ったことだと、庭の3ヶ所の木戸を点検していると、裏の丘付近に大きめの動物の気配がしました。
鹿でなければならない、そうでなければ、かなり大きそうな他の動物であるなら面倒な事になる。ジッと目を凝らしてみていると、現れ出たのは雌鹿でした。彼女も人の気配がすると気がついたらしく、静に移動していきました。
その日は更に、夜を徹して歌うカエルの住処も発見しました。大雪の後に出来た何気ない水たまりに住んでいました。卵さえも産みつけていました。
「動物園みたいになってきた」とオヤジさんも喜んでいますし、動物愛護協会の会長のような息子は、彼らの衣食住を心配しています。
私は花々だけを心配していた、イースターでしたけれど、動物たちもイエスさまの復活の日に馳せ参じてきていたのでしたね。
Easter Sunday passed in quick, but I had to take up Easter for animals.
On Easter Monday, a couple of rabbits got into my garden.
In my flower garden, there are serious fences to prevent the invasion of animals !
So I was checking the gates in three places in the garden, the existence of a large animal was confirmed near the back hill.
It has to be a deer, if it is another animal that would otherwise be quite large, it would be troublesome. When I was staring , it was a deer that appeared. She also noticed that there was a sign of people and moved away quietly.
On that day, we also discovered couple of frogs dwelling water that sings through the night. They lived in a silly pool of water created after a heavy snowfall. Even eggs were laid.
" getting to be a zoo," said husband, and a son like the Chairman of the Animal Care Society is concerned about their food, clothing and shelter.
I was concerned only with flowers for Easter, but the animals were coming to the day of the resurrection of Jesus also.

シアトルの春 イースターを迎える日々 ”Easter” Silver Birch
ある年のイースタータイム、シルバーバーチは〝死〟を一年の四季のめぐりに見事になぞらえて、こう語った。
「四季の絶妙な変化、途切れることの無い永遠のめぐりに思いを馳せてごらんなさい。全ての生命が眠る冬、その生命が目覚める春、生命の世界が美を競い合う夏、そしてまた次の春までの眠りに具えて自然が声をひそめはじめる秋。
地上は今まさに大自然の見事な顕現───春、イースター、復活───の季節を迎えようとしております。新しい生命、それまで地下の暗がりの中で安らぎと静けさを得てひっそりと身を横たえていた生命がいっせいに地上へ顕現する時期です。
間もなくあなた方の目に樹液の活動が感じられ、やがてつぼみが、若葉が、群葉が、そして花が目に入るようになります。地上全土に新しい生命の大合唱が響きわたります。
こうしたことから皆さんに太古の非文明化時代(※)において宗教というものが大自然の動きそのものを儀式の基本としていたことを知っていただきたいのです。彼らは移り行く大自然のドラマの星辰の動きの中に、神々の生活───自分たちを見つめている目に見えない力の存在を感じ取りました。
自分たちの生命を支配する法則に畏敬の念を抱き、春を生命の誕生の季節としてもっとも大切にいたしました。
同じサイクルが人間一人ひとりの生命においても繰り返されております。大自然の壮観と同じものが一人ひとりの魂において展開しているのです。まず意識の目覚めとともに春が訪れます。続いて生命力が最高に発揮される夏となります。やがてその力が衰えはじめる秋となり、そして疲れ果てた魂に冬の休眠の時が訪れます。しかし、それですべてが終りとなるのではありません。それは物的生命の終りです。
冬が終わるとその魂は次の世界において春を迎え、かくして永遠のサイクルを続けるのです。この教訓を大自然から学び取ってください。そしてこれまで自分を見捨てることの無かった摂理はこれ以後も自分を、そして他のすべての生命を見捨てることなく働き続けてくれることを確信して下さい」
One year at Easter time, Silver Birch saying the four seasons of the year:
The ground is just about to reach the season of the splendid manifestation of nature - ─ spring, Easter, resurrection ─ ─ ─. A new life, the time when the life that was quietly lying and gains peace and tranquility in the darkness of the underground to manifest all the way to the ground.
Soon your eyes will feel the sap activity, soon the bud, young leaves, foliage, and flowers will come into your eyes.A large chorus of new life echoes throughout the earth.
Because of these things, I want everyone to know that religion was the basis of the ceremony itself in the ancient non-civilization era . They felt the existence of invisible power gazing at themselves - in the movement of the stars of the wildering drama of the wild drama, the life of the gods.
I am awed by the laws governing their lives and cherish spring the most as a season of the birth of life.
The same cycle is repeated in the life of each and every human being. The same thing as the spectacle of nature is developing in each and every soul. Spring will come first with awakening consciousness. It will be the summer where life force will be demonstrated to the best. The fall will soon be the fall, and the warm dormancy will come to the exhausted soul. But that does not end with everything. It is the end of physical life.

One year at Easter time, Silver Birch saying the four seasons of the year:
"Exquisite change in the four seasons, let's not forget the endless journey without interruption. The winter when all life sleeps, the spring when that life wakes up, the summer when the world of life competes for beauty, and until the next spring The fall begins to disappoint nature in preparation for the night's sleep.
The earth is about to reach the season of magnificent manifestation of nature-spring, easter, revival. It is a time when new life, the life that has been quietly laid down in the darkness of the underground so far, appears on the ground all at once.
Soon you can see the activity of the sap, and eventually the bud, the young leaves, the foliage, and the flowers will come into your eyes. A great chorus of new life resounds all over the earth.
From these things, I would like you to know that religion is the movement of the great nature itself as the basis of rituals in the ancient uncivilized era . In the movement of the moving star of the drama of the moving nature, they felt the life of the gods-the invisible power that was watching them.
With the reverence to the rules governing their lives, we have made spring the most important season of the birth of life.
The same cycle is repeated in each human life. The same grandeur as the great nature develops in each and every soul. First comes spring with the awakening of consciousness. Then it will be summer when vitality is fully demonstrated. Eventually, the power will begin to decline, and the tired spirit will be the time of winter dormancy. But that is not the end of everything. That is the end of physical life.
When winter is over, the soul will enter spring in the next world, thus continuing the eternal cycle. Please learn this lesson from Mother Nature. And be sure that Providence, who has never abandoned you before, will continue to work without abandoning you, and all other life. "

シアトルの春 様子がおかしい
シアトルに前代未聞の大雪がふり,林の中の我が家界隈の自然環境に変化が起こった気配が感じられます。
何故ならば、”カエルの歌が聞こえてくる” のです。
それも我が家のごく近くに、賑やかにです。
アメリカ カエルの歌声は ”リビッ リビッ” です。
この林の中に住んで5年目。今日に至までカエルの歌を耳にしたことはありませんでした。
何故ならば界隈には池も沼も川もないからです。
連日連夜歌い続けているカエルたちは、どこに住んでいるのでしょうか。
南極では氷が溶けてどうのこうのと、我が家界隈の自然にも小さな変化が起きているのかもしれません。
何事も、良きに変化するのは嬉しいことなのですけれどもね。。。。
Unprecedented heavy snow falls in Seattle, and I can see the signs that the natural environment of my forest has changed.
That's because I can hear the frog's song.
It is also lively near my house.
The American frog is pronounced "ribbit".
The fifth year of living in this nature. I have never heard frog songs to this day.
Because there are no ponds, swamps or rivers in the area.
Where do the frogs who sing continuously every day ?
Ice may melt in Antarctica, and small changes may occur in the nature of my household.
I hope every thing fine in circle of life.
