今日は掃除に専念していた。最近、電動モップなるものを買ったので、拭き掃除が楽になった。新しいものが家のなかに入ってくると、何かと関心がそこに集中するものである。拭き掃除に精が入るのは、結構なことだ。自走式ではないので、自分で持ちながらの拭き掃除だが、私にとっては、拭き掃除の面積が多い家なので、これまでは手の行き届かないところが多くあった。また、冬場は、家の中の掃除よりは除雪に力が入っていた。軽くモップを持っているだけで、動いてくれ、仕事をしてくれる。面白くなって掃除をしているうちに、大分気分が開放的になってきた。こうして私は日常に戻っていくのだろう。
菅の根のながき縁(えにし)とおもひつつこの坂道をのぼりゆくかな
thinking of you
as a close-knit and long
karma
like the roots of a sedge--
I climb up this slope

Yesterday, I tried to update my blog from my iPhone, but I must have touched something because all my text was lost. As I had written quite a bit, it was a pity. What? It's my current state of mind. I had a shocking experience last month, and I was depressed and lost in thought. Well, I think it might have been better if I hadn't written about it since it disappeared.
Today I focused on
cleaning. I recently bought an electric mop, which makes wiping easier.
Whenever something new comes into the house, I tend to focus my attention on
it. It's a good thing that I've been working hard on wiping down the
house. It's not a self-propelled machine, so I have to hold it while wiping,
but for me, the house has many areas to be wiped, and there have been many
places I haven't been able to reach. Also, in the winter, I more
focused on snow removal than cleaning the house. Just lightly holding a mop,
they would move and do their job. As I got interested and cleaned, I began to
feel much more liberated. Like this, I think that I'll get back into
the swing of things.
Thank you for your reply.
