ノエリアのこと
佐藤賢太郎

 ホームページに、ウーファーの受け入れを書いたところ、「写真の関連性が分からない」という方がいました。もっともなことと思います。それは写真を載せられない事情があったからです。

会話の多い夕食時ですが、空気がとても重く、私は彼女たちとは一言も話しませんでした。そんなわけで、とても写真を載せる気になりませんでした。 

その日から彼女たちに別々の仕事をさせました。家内とノエリア、私とマリンの組み合わせです。言葉が分からなくとも空気は分かります。永平寺に行くというマリンに、私は永平寺に行く前にここで学ぶべきことがあると、日本人の基本的なマナーを教えました。 

ノエリアは片言の日本語で家内に云ったそうです。「私は笑うこともなく、とても弱いところがある、changeするために、好きな日本に来た」と言います。外国の若い女性と一緒にいると、「可愛い子と一緒でいいね」と言われますが、そんなことばかりではありません。私なりに実践を通じて、彼女たちに日本についての教育をしています。

Kentaro-san, very kindly suggest me by email to come to pick me up till Aitsuwakamatsu and the first day we meet we went together with Marine, a French woofer, and two friends of kentaro to have lunch and have a bath in a salty water onsen. After my long way coming to this amazing region it was such a great present for my body.　The first impression was so good and I couldn’t wait to see the place.

As kentaro usually say this place it s the realization of his ideal. This is a small village in the middle if nature with very few habitants but you can feel it full of life. Kentaro has gave light to this place with his art and it s easy to feel it.

Kentaro and his wife makiko are living a sustainable life growing their own vegetables, rice, using solar energy and they are full of energy. Actually to take care of everything here is needed big amount of energy.

The first 3 o 4 days they were many friends so after work we enjoyed a very nice meals, makiko is lovely and a great cooker, we also make mochi and kentaro has teach us about Japanese manners and we could put on practice with his friends, I think it is very interesting and actually necessary to understand better this culture. A part of it kentaro is making efforts to showing us his lifestyle and philosophy and I think he wants us to  give tools to get a rich life like they are living.        His example can really help me to remind me, if　I forget, that the dreams can be true with efforts.          How can have a jomon era museu in his house?

 Here we are working hard, doing different task as cut wood, cut the herbs, plant rice but in my case even if I feel it hard because I m not used to  I m so happy because I feel I m becoming strong and strong and it feels comforting.

On the other side, Enjoying nature is unavoidable here is full of flowers, insects, frogs, little rats and wild monkeys!! Just everywhere you look is full of life, I feel like I m recharging my batteries to come back to the city fully of gratitude and fresh air to start again.
