空

昨日の空と今日の空は違う
今日の空と明日の空は違う
でも
昨日の空と明日の空はつながっている
明後日の空とおとといの空もつながっている

ロンドンの空とアフリカの空は違う
蜜蜂の見上げる空とバオバブの見上げる空は違う
でも
北極の空と南極の空はつながっている
ペンギンの見上げる空とイグアナの見上げる空もつながっている

だから
１００万年前のアンデスに咲く花の見上げた空と
１００万年後のエジプトの猫が見上げる空はつながっている
ように
あなたの空と僕の空もつながっている
のだ

＊＊＊

The sky of yesterday is different from that of today, and today's sky is different from that of tomorrow. However, the sky of yesterday is connected to that of tomorrow, and the sky of the day after tomorrow is connected to that of the day before yesterday. The sky in London is different from that in Africa, and the sky seen by bees is different from that seen by baobabs. However, the sky in the North Pole is connected to that in the South Pole, and the sky seen by penguins is connected to that seen by iguanas. So, the sky seen by flowers blooming in the Andes 100,000 years ago is connected to the sky seen by cats in Egypt 100,000 years later. Similarly, your sky and my sky are also connected.
