星空を見上げる
Looking Up at the Starry Sky
昨夜、久しぶりに夜空を見上げました。街の明かりが少ない場所へ行ったので、驚くほどたくさんの星が見えました。普段の生活では、空を見上げることなんてほとんどありません。
夜の静けさの中で、光り輝く星を見ていると、自分の悩みなんてとても小さなことのように思えてきます。自然の大きさや宇宙の広さを感じると、不思議と心が軽くなるものです。今度は、もっと遠くの山へ行って、もっときれいな星空を見てみたいと思います。
Translation
Last night, I looked up at the night sky for the first time in a while. Since I went to a place with few city lights, I could see a surprisingly large number of stars. In my daily life, I almost never look up at the sky. While watching the shining stars in the silence of the night, my own worries seem like very small things. When I feel the vastness of nature and the expanse of the universe, my heart strangely feels lighter. Next time, I want to go to a further mountain and see an even more beautiful starry sky.
