10 days with my mother
On Wedneday, August 30th, I played in the group named "Ahup-yan" at "Penguin House".
My mother and my brother came to the concert.
It was the first time they've seen my performance on stage.
After playing, I asked them what they thought of, and they could say nothing-they just surprised and puzzled.
My mother was visiting for the first time in 9 years.
She could hardly see, so we walked very slowly.
We went to Asagaya, where she used to live, and Kichijoji, where she often took me in my childhood.
Walking around with her, listening to her memories of the cities I was used to seeing, they seemed different as if I had dropped into a time warp.
When we got on a train, one of the people gave up his seat to us, and on another train, another person kept a seat for her.
I had thought Tokyo was cold, but it gave me a different impression.
I went to Fukuoka with her on the 5th of September, stayed there for 4days, and came back to Tokyo on the 9th.
I spent 10 days with my mother.
It was a completely different time from my daily life, but when I was living at her pace, with her doing everything slowly, feeling her way around everything one thing at a time, I felt something being releaed inside of me, and kindness filling my whole self.
