暑かったり寒かったり、少し不安定な気候が続きますが、少しずつ秋ですね。
秋祭りをする地域が多いこの頃です。
キリッと鉢巻をして、法被を着たお兄さんたちが練り歩き、山車が踊り、笛の音や太鼓の響く秋の空は、どこまでも澄んで見えます。
今年の終わりも近づいていますが、この頃は仕事や人の動きが多いです。
新しい仕事に伴って、新しく出会う人たちが増えたり、友人たちの異動や引っ越しなど、物や人が一所に留まっていないとはわかっていながらも、その流れをより強く感じます。
私はアラビア語教材の挿絵のお仕事が終わり、少し自分の時間ができたと思いきや、勉強会やら研修やら何かと予定が埋まりがちです。
とりあえず、今は秋を楽しみたくて、目の前のことを一つ一つ楽しんで日々を過ごしています。
…と思っていたらもう１０月も半ばで、ちょぴり焦ったりして。
皆様も素敵な秋を過ごしてくださいね。

Hello everyone, it's Ginger.
The weather has been so unstable that it's been hot and cool, but it's becoming autumn slowly but surely.
There are many local autumn festivals around this season of the year.
Young men looking smart in headband and happi (a livery coat with the crest of the area printed on it's back) walk in procession. The floats dance. The sound of flutes and drums echoing in the sky of autumn. The sky looks so clear as if I could see through heaven.
This year is almost ending, and recenlty I feel movements of jobs and people.
Since I started to work at a new place, I met new people. My friends' job transfers and movings. Even though I know that nothing stays in one place forever, but I feel that so strongly these days.
I'd finished the illustration works for Arabic textbooks, so I thought I had more time in my hand, but trainings and study meetings were filled in there so I still have full of schedule.
For the present, I just want to enjoy autumn, so I've been making the most of each day.
.... thus I was thinking, but it's already middle of October! OH LA LA!!
I wish you all happy autumn days.
