祈り :
明けましておめでとうございます｡
Happy New Year! Wishing everyone around the world a magnificent and peaceful 2026.
新しい一年の始まり､明けましておめでとうございます｡
昨年弟が倒れてから毎朝祈り続けた近所の日枝大神社
大晦日の夜は普段の静かな様子から一変し大混雑する神社
翌朝もそんな混雑を予想し午前7:00前に祈りに行くと既に人が並び始めていました
それでもいつも通り竜神様にご挨拶し水浴びさせ狛犬様の脚に触れご挨拶し本殿では一人でお祈り出来､脇にある摂社でお祈りし
並んだ石と柱に触れ
親友の眠る道の反対側のお寺に頭を下げ
いつも通り落ち着いてお祈りをすることが出来ました
その後神社は大混雑､有名なキャラクターの御守りが購入出来ることで有名で若い人達に人気があるようでそんな御守りを購入するのに数時間待ちの大行列､本殿にお祈りするのに神社の外の道まで溢れる行列
母を連れ弟の病院まで行った帰りもう暗くなった神社の脇を通り過ぎる車内から神社を見ると
まだ溢れるほどの大行列
早朝に祈りに行っていて良かった……
今日も朝早くからお祈りに行きまた弟に逢いに行きマッサージやリハビリをして弟のお嫁さんと伸輔と三人で一緒に高校サッカーを少し観戦
今日も穏やかで安心しました
毎朝弟のために祈ってくれている掃除のおばあちゃんも今日は目がキョロキョロ動いていて
起き上がってきそうだったと
嬉しそうに話してくれました……
大晦日から新年を向かえ弟は穏やかに
今日も頑張っています
僕も家族もあたたかく生きています
この一年も「髙」そして弟をあたたかくお見守りくださいませ
強く優しくあたたかく共に生きて参りましょう
いつも心に優しい風が吹きますように
新年も､生きよう｡
Prayer :
Happy New Year! Wishing everyone around the world a magnificent and peaceful 2026.
Happy new year, the start of a new year.
The nearby Hie Shrine, where I have been praying every morning since my younger brother collapsed last year.
On the night of New Year’s Eve, the shrine’s usual quiet appearance changes and it becomes very crowded.
Anticipating similar crowds the next morning, I went to pray before 7:00 a.m. and people were already lining up.
Even so, I was able to greet the dragon god as usual, let him bathe in the water, touch the guardian dog’s leg, and pray alone in the main shrine, and pray at the set shrine on the side.
Touch the rows of stones and pillars
I bow my head at the temple on the other side of the road where my best friend sleeps.
I was able to pray calmly as usual.
After that, the shrine was very crowded.It is famous for being able to purchase amulets of famous characters and seems to be popular among young people, so there was a long line of people waiting for several hours to buy such amulets, and a long line that extended to the road outside the shrine to pray at the main shrine.
After taking my mother to my brother’s hospital, I saw the shrine from inside the car as it passed by the shrine, which was already dark.
The line is still overflowing
I’m glad I went to pray early in the morning…
Today I went to pray early in the morning, went to see my brother again, did some massage and rehabilitation, and watched a little high school soccer with my brother’s wife and Shinsuke.
I felt calm and relieved today too.
The cleaning lady who prays for my brother every morning also has her eyes wandering around today.
I thought I was about to get up
He spoke happily…
From New Year’s Eve to the new year, my younger brother is calm
I’m working hard today too
Me and my family are living warmly.
Please watch over Taka and his younger brother warmly this year as well.
Let’s live together strong, kind and warm.
May the gentle wind always blow in your heart
Let’s live in the new year too
