I watched Greta Thunberg speech at UN Climate Action Summit. It was inspirationa

atsushijp, 2019年9月24日

I watched Greta Thunberg speech at UN Climate Action Summit. It was inspirational. As a father of 4 years old girl, her message hit so hard to think about today and the future. I am not well-educated for the environmental issue and I still have to “borrow” from environment to achieve my dream, yet I am sure of what we can do together. “Caring”.
☆
I stopped purchasing the new cloth 2 years ago. It is my small step to care for the environment – a small contribution to be proud of my actions to my girl by leaving the culture of appreciating what we have. “Care” is the keyword. Understanding “why” is critical. “Mending whatever we have” may NOT be the ideal way because of several reasons. Understand, think, share, and then care. I guess that is what “ordinary adults” can do for our children. ☆
I was a bit like her in my childhood. The topic for her is the earth, and the topic for me was Sashiko. I still feel that my fate stole my childhood and my possibility by Sashiko. I was always angry to them. However, when my father taught me how to forgive, things started changing. At least, I am finding new good friends to pass down Sashiko. It is not right or wrong, nor better or worse. It is a collaborative process of caring what we appreciate – and who we are.

今日の配信で話そうとしてたこと、すっかり忘れてた!国連でのグレタ・トゥーンベリさんのスピーチ。目が釘付けになりました。心が痛い……というか、娘の顔を思い浮かべて他人事には思えません。環境問題、完全に素人なので、しっかり勉強しなきゃと思いつつ、僕ら「大人」が今の子供達に残せるものの一つとして、「日本人的な中道観」があると思っています。これ、結構マジで思っています。論理的思考を持って効率と数字を重視する。この真逆にある日本人的中道観。僕の地元だと、「そしゃそやぞ」で解決される曖昧観。そして(だからこそ付随する数字には出てこない)気遣い。僕が娘に残せるのは、そんな価値観なんだろうなというのも、刺し子を伝え続ける意味の一つです。

グレタさん、とても注目度を浴びているので、いろんな角度から見られると思います。今回のスピーチも大変素晴らしいものでした。ただ、老婆心から言えば、「怒り」じゃないところにあるものを見てほしいな……と。勿論、怒りでしか対抗できない人がいることも承知の上で、やっぱり怒りじゃなく「気遣いの素晴らしさ」が広まれば良いなぁと思っています。配信の80%が怒りの愚痴配信の俺がアドバイスできることじゃないですけどね(笑)

I have been feeling under the weather lately. No matter how “beautifully” I stitch, regardless how “generous” I share, I struggle behind my words. After all, Sashiko is my identity, and therefore I share not only the “bright side” of our Sashiko, but also the “dark side” of our stitching….

“Sustainability”, “Mindfulness”, “Uycycle”, and “Attentive to Details (Slow)”… we use these words as something new to improve our lives in 2023. As far as I know, in Japan, these words were part of their “ordinary”. These words weren’t something to achieve. They were there already, and we unfortunately forgot (or…
