Solitude, our companion since birth, is an embrace we naturally seek throughout life. Humanity inherently understands separation, yet upon relinquishing our five senses, our souls blend into the cosmos, dissolving into oneness with the air. God bestows upon us the gift of individuality, a distinct self. As we live fully, enriched by our emotions and experiences, perhaps our ultimate purpose is to return these memories to the heavens upon departing this earth. In that singular, fleeting moment of tranquility, when our souls find peace and the diverse elements of existence unite, we touch the truth. Suffering, in contrast, is but an illusion crafted by human hands.

孤独とは生まれた時からそこにあり、当たり前のように生涯寄り添うものです。そもそも分離感なくして人は成り立ちません。しかし五感を手放し宇宙へ心を解き放った時、空(くう)と一つになりそれは消えます。神より分たれた個としての自分、喜怒哀楽から学び多き人生を送り、それらの記憶を天へお返しすることが私達に課せられた役割なのでしょう。ほんの一瞬のうちに感じることの許された心の平安、異なる存在同士の一体感。それこそが真実であり、苦悩は人の創り出した幻に過ぎません。
