ゲーテの『献身』という詩を見つけました。素敵な内容です。いつか原文を読めるようにドイツ語の勉強頑張ろう。→『献身を心に決めるまではためらいが残る。手をひく可能性もある。効果はつねに薄い。ものごとを始める行為すべてにあてまる基本的な真理が一つある。知らないと無数のひらめきや立派な計画をだめにする。それは人が真剣に取り組もうとはっきり決めた瞬間、神の意志も動き出すということだ。そうでもなければ、とても起きるはずのない様々なことが起きて助けてくれる。決意から出来事の大きな流れが生じ、都合のよい方向にすすんでいく。我が身に生じるとは夢にも思わなかったような、あらゆる予期せぬ事件、出会い、物質的援助が訪れる。できそうなこと、夢見ることを、とにかく始めるがいい。大胆さのなかに叡智と力と魔術がある。いま始めるのだ。』

I found out a poem ‘commitment’ by Goethe. It’s amazing:) I make an effort to study German so that I’ll be able to read it in the original text one day. →“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: That the moment one definitely commits oneself then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents
and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream, you can begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.”

ケガから3日経って、まだ内出血による皮膚の変色と腫れは残っているけど随分患部の痛みが無くなりました。骨折の場合は強い痛みが続くらしい。よって私の場合は捻挫だったと自己診断を下しました。しばらくはつま先に負担のかかるヒールのある靴は履かずに、スニーカーで生活します👟早く完治しますように。

Three days after the injury, the discoloration and swelling of the skin due to internal bleeding still remained, but the pain in the affected area disappeared considerably. In the case of a fracture, it seems that strong pain will continue. Therefore, in my case, I made a self-diagnosis that it was a sprain. For a while, I don’t wear shoes with heels that put a strain on my toes, and walk with sneakers 👟 Hope it can recover quickly.

昨日のヨガ中にバランスポーズをキープしようとして失敗し足指に思いっきり負荷をかけてしまいました。帰宅後に痛みが酷くなり患部を見ると青く腫れていて、これは捻挫かもしくは骨折ではと疑い一晩様子見しました。朝も痛みが酷いし赤紫色になってるので、病院に行く事を検討したけどどこも予約が取れるのが来週で、取り敢えずもう少し様子見します。恐らく骨折ではなく捻挫ぽい。希望的観測😅私は丈夫なので内臓とか内科疾患はほぼ縁が無いけど整形外科関連のケガを時々やらかします。ロバに手の甲を噛まれて病院に行った事もあります笑。でも骨折はした事ないので今回も骨は問題ないと信じます。

During yesterday’s yoga, I tried to keep the balance pose and failed, and I put a lot of load on my toes. After returning home, the pain became severe and when I looked at the affected area, it was swollen blue, and I suspected that this was a sprain or a fracture and observed overnight. The pain is terrible in the morning and my finger turns reddish purple, so I considered going to the hospital, but till next week, the booking was full everywhere, so I will observe a little longer for the time being. Probably it’s a sprain rather than a fracture. Wishful thinking:) I’m tough by nature, so I have little to do with internal organs or medical illnesses, but I sometimes get orthopedic-related injuries. Once, I’ve been to the hospital with a donkey biting the back of my hand lol. But I haven’t had any fractures, so I believe that bones are okay this time as well.

先程Rügenからベルリンに戻りました。二日間という短い旅だったけど余りにも自然美が素晴らしくて、ベルリンの都会ぶりにちょっとがっかり笑。海と森を両方満喫出来て本当に楽しかった。自然の色が私は大好きで、海の紺碧と空の青、落ち葉の赤茶色と苔の緑等のコントラストを見るだけで癒されます。車窓から見る田園風景も心和むし、これからも時々ドイツの自然を楽しむ旅に出掛けます^ ^

I just returned to Berlin from Rügen. It was a short trip of two days, but the natural beauty was super amazing! Because of that I was a little disappointed to Berlin which is colorless urban. I was really happy being able to enjoy both the sea and the forest. I love the colors of nature, and I was healed just by looking at the contrast between the azure of the sea and the blue of the sky, the reddish brown of the fallen leaves and the green of the moss, etc. Also, the rural scenery seen from the train window is soothing, so I’ll continue to travel to enjoy the nature of Germany from time to time:)
