的中 : 物凄く風の強かった日曜日の小さな事件
そんな偶然そんなタイミングそんな事あるのかと思うような瞬間

Hit the target : It was a windy Sunday, and what happened was a total million-to-one shot. Seriously, what are the odds?

こんばんは､こんにちは､おはようございます
昨年夏以降毎日が一週間がひと月があっという間に感じるほど隙間の無い日々を送っている自分ですが

目覚めた瞬間から少しの間は余裕があり
ルーティーンをこなしつつ今日の一日を頭の中で組み立てそれをこなしてゆきます

入院時は一日三回のご飯までの予定があったり検査があったりリハビリがあったり
楽しみはひとつもなくデイルームの大きな窓から外を見るのが外の空気を想像し恋しく感じる時間が唯一心落ち着く時間だったなと今思いだし

外の世界に戻った今毎日を一瞬をめいいっぱい感じ生きています
弟は不安定だった週末から昨日は落ち着きを取り戻し､でもここ最近は目蓋を開かず穏やかに眠っています……
自分では動かせない身体を毎日のようにリハビリしてあげる時間
カーテンを開く瞬間毎日ドキドキします……
今日は落ち着いているかな元気かな苦しそうかな……

弟も次への一歩に向け毎日闘っています

今朝は神社へお祈りへ行き母を運動クラブへ送り出し昨年11月頃予約したマイナンバーの更新へ朝から行き
区役所向かいの僕ら兄弟が名前を授かった神社へ行きお祈りし

また帰ってから少し頭を使い
今日も川沿いの風と闘いながらカモメを感じながら
弟の元へリハビリしてあげに一緒にリハビリしに行きました
今日も不安定な体調で熱はないものの発汗が激しく苦しそうでしたが
痰の吸引してもらうと少し落ち着いたように感じました
今日も一生懸命生きています。

週末のダンスレッスンは昨年から復帰し
今月末には発表会､本番前の残り僅かな日々を発表会に向け子供達とのリハーサル
自分も先生方と踊らなければならないけれど
違うジャンルの踊り……
全く憶えられず笑ってごまかし子供達に突っ込まれています(笑)

そんな大きなリハーサルのあった週末日曜日
レッスン終わりからリハーサルまで少し時間があったので
週末祝日はリハビリの先生も来ないので弟の元へリハビリをしてあげに顔を見に行こうと思い

東京から横浜まで自転車で向かおうとしていた
夕暮れ前
日曜日は物凄く風が強くそこら自転車が倒れていたり
色んなものが風に舞っているような台風並の風の日曜日

東京から川崎へ渡る橋のたもとまで来て
信号待ちをしている時

風に飛ばされたポスターが自転車の前輪にからんできて取ると､ポスターに着いていた画鋲がタイヤに突き刺さっているではありませんか……

しかも瓢箪のような画鋲で……
引っこ抜くとパンクするかと思いましたが
引っこ抜かないと走れないので
引っこ抜いてみると大丈夫そう
ヨシ!向かおうと思い信号を渡り､少し乗ったところで前輪が思った通りベコベコになり始め……
パンク……
幸い数分歩いたところに自転車店があるのを知っていたのでしばらく来た道を自転車を押しながら戻り
訳を説明すると最後まで聴く前に
明日の16時!……と

は?弟の元へもリハーサルlにも行けないじゃんかと思い
ここから自転車屋さん探し……
調べて行ってみても20時とか明日とか
リハーサルが18時半からで弟の病院は面会時間が17時まで
もう弟の元へ行くのは諦めて自転車屋さんを探し歩き回り電話して訊いたり……
そんなにみんな自転車壊れるのかと思いつつ

修理キッドがあれば自分で出来るのにこういう時に限って持ってなくて……

一応ダンススクールに電話してリハーサル開始に間に合わないかもしれないと伝え
それからもひたすら歩き回り気づけば3時間を回ろうとしていた頃

スタジオ近くに自転車屋さんがあるのを教えてもらい
そこへ行ってみるとやはり19時過ぎ

でもここで直さないと家に帰り着くまで何時間掛かるのかと思い

リハーサルに遅れるのを伝え
個人店の自転車屋さんで修理をお願いし
とりあえず穴だけふさいでいただきたい旨を伝え
自転車屋さんの計らいで早めに修理していただき
通しリハーサル直前に間に合ったのは良いのですが

扉を開けた瞬間大勢の子供達の視線とニヤニヤが……
アキちゃんパンク直ったの?とか……

まさかの画鋲の的中に踊らされ風の悪戯に
踊らされリハーサルで先生方と憶えていない振りを踊らされ

色んな事に踊らされた日曜日の午後から夜にかけて……

そんな事ある?な画鋲の的中

宝くじ買っていたら的中していたのかななんて思ったり

結局3時間以上自転車を押しながら歩き続けた日曜日

個人店の自転車屋さん自転車のはすぬまさんのお陰で助かりました……

自転車の前輪に的中したポスターが何のポスターだったかちゃんと見ていませんが
何でやねん!な的中劇にある意味ついているのかななんて思った一瞬でした

でも､疲れた……
弟も闘った週末､その裏で兄も小さな出来事と闘っていました……

風の強い日は気をつけてください
前輪に刺さるかもしれないので……

て､そんな事あるかい!!

奇跡的な的中劇
違う奇跡を祈っています……

明日からまた2026年のメンバーの声を聴いてください
Blogも「髙」ACTもARTもよろしくお願いいたします……

この一週間の後半も心あたたかな日々で
時間でありますように……

優しい風が心にそっと吹きますように……

画鋲には気をつけて
今週も強く優しくあたたかく
生きよう｡

Hit the target : It was a windy Sunday, and what happened was a total million-to-one shot. Seriously, what are the odds?

Good evening, hello, good morning
Since last summer, my days have been so seamless that each day has felt like a week has turned into a month.

From the moment you wake up, you have some time to spare.
As I go through my routine, I plan out today’s day in my head and carry it out.

When you are hospitalized, you have plans to eat three meals a day, tests, and rehabilitation.
I don’t have a single thing to look forward to, and looking out of the big window in the day room was the only time I felt calm, imagining the outside air and feeling like I missed it.

Now that I’m back in the outside world, I’m living each day to the fullest.
My younger brother regained his composure yesterday after an unstable weekend, but recently he has been sleeping peacefully without opening his eyelids…
Time to rehabilitate a body that cannot be moved by itself on a daily basis
I get excited every day when I open the curtains…
Are you calm today? Are you okay? I wonder if you’re in pain…

My younger brother is also fighting every day to take the next step.

This morning I went to the shrine to pray, dropped my mother off at the sports club, and went to renew my My Number, which I reserved around November last year.
We went to the shrine opposite the ward office where our brothers were given our names and prayed.

I’ll use my head a bit after I get back.
Today, as I battle the wind along the river, I feel the seagulls.
I went with my brother to rehabilitate him. Weekend dance lessons returned from last year.
There will be a recital at the end of this month, and the few remaining days before the actual performance will be spent rehearsing with the children for the recital.
I have to dance with the teachers too.
A different genre of dance…
I can’t remember anything at all and am laughing and cheating and getting attacked by the kids (lol)

Sunday was the weekend when we had such a big rehearsal.
I had a little time between the end of the lesson and the rehearsal.
Since the rehabilitation teacher doesn’t come on weekends and holidays, I decided to go to see my younger brother for rehabilitation.

I was about to ride my bicycle from Tokyo to Yokohama.
before dusk
It was extremely windy on Sunday, and bicycles were falling down all over the place.
Sunday was as windy as a typhoon, with many things dancing in the wind.

Come to the foot of the bridge that crosses from Tokyo to Kawasaki
While waiting at a traffic light

A poster blown away by the wind gets tangled in the front wheel of a bicycle, and when you pick it up, the thumbtack that was attached to the poster is stuck in the tire…

And with pushpins that look like gourds…
I thought I would get a flat tire if I pulled it out.
I can’t run unless I pull it out
It seems okay when I pull it out
Yoshi! I crossed the traffic light thinking I was going to head there, and after riding for a while, the front wheels started to become sluggish, just as I had expected…
Punk…
Fortunately, I knew there was a bicycle shop a few minutes walk away, so I went back the same way I came and pushed my bicycle.
Before you listen to the end, I will explain the translation.
Tomorrow at 4pm!…

Huh?I thought I wouldn’t be able to go to see my brother or go to rehearsals.
Search for a bicycle shop from here…
I looked it up and it’s like 8pm or tomorrow.
Rehearsal starts at 6:30 pm and visiting hours at my brother’s hospital are until 5 pm.
I gave up on going to my brother, walked around looking for a bicycle shop, called him and asked…
I wondered if so many people broke their bicycles.

I could do it myself if I had a repair kit, but I don’t have one for times like this…

Just in case, I called the dance school and told them that I might not be able to make it in time for rehearsals to start.
After that, I kept walking around and before I knew it, I was about to spend 3 hours.

I was told that there is a bicycle shop near the studio.
When I went there, it was already past 7pm.

But if I don’t fix it now, I wonder how long it will take to get home.

Tell them you’ll be late for rehearsal
Please have it repaired at a private bicycle shop.
I told him that I would like him to just cover the hole for now.
Please have your bike repaired as soon as possible with the help of a bicycle shop.
I’m glad I made it in time just before the full rehearsal.

The moment I opened the door, I saw a lot of children staring at me and grinning…
Aki-chan, did you get your flat tire fixed? Or something…

Unexpectedly, I was made to dance on the target of a thumbtack, and the wind played a trick on me.
I was made to dance, and at the rehearsal, I was made to dance with the teachers in a way I didn’t remember.

From Sunday afternoon to night, I was moved by various things…

Is there such a thing? A thumbtack hits the mark

I wonder if I would have won the lottery if I had bought the lottery ticket.

In the end, I ended up walking for over 3 hours while pushing my bike on Sunday.

Thanks to Mr. Hasunuma, a private bicycle shop, we were saved…

I haven’t looked carefully to see what kind of poster the poster that hit the front wheel of the bicycle was.
For a moment, I wondered if there was some meaning behind this hit-and-miss drama.

But I’m tired…
On the weekend when my younger brother also fought, behind the scenes he was also struggling with a small incident…

Please be careful on windy days
It might get stuck in the front wheel…

Is there such a thing?

a miraculous hit
I’m praying for a different miracle…

Please listen to the voices of the 2026 members again tomorrow.
Thank you for your support of the blog, “Taka” ACT, and ART…

The second half of this week is also full of heartwarming days.
I hope it’s time…

May a gentle wind blow gently into your heart…

Be careful with thumbtacks
This week is also strong, gentle and warm.
Let’s live.
