雪国の活力。
「昭和48年豪雪を想う」とまで言わしめる今年の大雪。
二階の屋根、つまりは三階建ての高さが、雪で地面と繋がる光景は初めて見た。
そして最高気温が氷点下4度でも、薄着で雪下ろしができる自分に気付く。
社員総出の雪下ろしの合間、台所で水を飲む。
すると母親が昨年末からの紫羅欄花の水を換えている。
皮肉なことに、この氷点下の日々が
おおよそ一ヶ月もの間、花たちを咲き長らえさせていた。
夕刻、雪下ろしを終えた体を労いながら天気予報を見る。
相変わらず大きな雪だるまが並ぶ週間予報に、「明日もだな」と思う。
理不尽な豪雪へ挑む活力は、各々が持ち得るものだが、
少なくとも僕には、このわずかな色たちが、それに当たる。

Energies of snowy country.
This year’s heavy snows are compared , saying that “Think of the heavy snow in 1973”.
I saw the spectacle that the height of three stories is connected with ground because of the snow for the first time.
And, the highest temperature noticed me can done the snow lowering by lightly dressing even by four degrees under the freezing point.
At intervals when the snow lowering was done as all members of the staff, I drank water in the kitchen.
Then, my mother had changed the water of [murasakiranhana] from the end of last year.
Every day under this freezing point sarcastically bloomed and made them live long flowers for almost one month.
I check the weather forecast while showing appreciation for the body to which the snow lowering is finished in the evening.
I think, “We should do the snow lowering tomorrow” because I see the weekly forecast of the heavy snow as usual.
Energies are found so that each people in the snowy country may challenge an unjust heavy snow.
Then, I at least have what sees this little color.
