今朝も快晴の空の下、いつもの公園を1周。
昼過ぎにソファに寝転がって本を読んでいるとき、友人から教えてもらって
慌ててテレビをつけた。徹子の部屋のゲストが岸恵子さん！
ダークオレンジレッドのパンツスーツをまとい、自分が送ってきた人生をしとやかに快活に語る88歳は、驚くほど美しい。まるで凛とした一輪の薔薇のよう。
「卵を割らなければ、 オムレツは食べられない」と、自由な渡航がままならない時代にパリでの結婚生活に飛び込んだ彼女。今まで3回卵を割ってきたらしい。コロナが終息したらアフリカに行ってやりたいことがあるという。きっと4回目の卵を割るのだろう。美貌と知性だけでなく、自分の感性を信じて前に進む勇気と強さに脱帽だ。
I went running as usual in the morning, and in the afternoon, while reading on a couch, I got a message from my friend and rushed to turn on the TV so I wouldn't miss a Japanese famous actress/writer Keiko Kishi on the program, 'Tetsuko-no-Heya.'
The 88-year-old lady in a dark orange-red suit was talking about her past life gently and cheerfully. Amazingly beautiful! She looked like a single rose with grace.
Like the saying, "You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs," she jumped into her marriage life with a French director, Yves Ciampi, in Paris in those days when people were not allowed to go to Europe without any special reason. She also said that she'd love to visit Africa for some purpose after the pandemic is over. I was really inspired by not only her beauty and intelligence but also her strength and courage.
