Recently I often walk there and back if the place is less than 4km away.
I can see much more sky and corners of the town, which we can't see when running.
This haiku, "I'll walk" is by Suzuki Shin'ichi: the father of Suzuki Hidaka,
who wrote "Scarecrow" haiku, which I introduced last fall.
This haiku has been for years in the collection of a father's and his son's haiku
of [Karakkaze Haiku Land of Suzuki Shin'ichi]
Now the world is speeding up more, and by contraries some people started appreciating walking.
I'm a sort of person who walks even if all others run,
so I wonder how the senior Suzuki does, if all others start walking.
* Through this translation, you'll see an example to use EL definition brackets for a sentence included (if..,). The EL expression way for this purpose has been more rationally changed recently.わたしは近頃４キロ程度の遠さならよく歩いて往復します。
大空もその下に展開する街の隅も、走っていては見えないものが歩くと見えます。
今月の「走るなら歩く」は、昨年の同じ月にご紹介したカカシの俳句の
鈴木日高さんのお父さん、鈴木伸一さんの作品です。
鈴木伸一の空っ風俳句ランド「父と子の俳句作品集」の中にあり、
何年も前に「吟遊」第２４号に掲載された句だそうです。
時代はますます加速を増し、逆に歩く価値を見出す人々も出てきました。
私は「みんなが走っても歩く」人ですが、
鈴木さんはもしみんなが歩きだせばどうされるのでしょう。
* 今回は表意カッコを使う「もし～なら」の地球語表現にご注目ください。
以前に挙げていた文例よりも合理的に最近表現の仕方を少し変更しました。
