以下の物語はトルコの作家セルダル・オズカンの「失われた薔薇」からの引用です。 著者に許可をいただいたので、ここに掲載します: ......................................................................... 「・・・・ダイアナ。きみの苦しみは、どうやっても僕には分からないと思う。 きっと誰にも分かりはしないだろう。だから僕が何を言っても大した慰めにはならないと思うが・・・・。 事情が違うのは分かっている。でも、祖母が死んだとき、僕はとても辛かった。 どうすれば受け入れられるか分からなかったんだ。 その時、ある物語を読んだ。そしてとても感動したんだ」 ダイアナは以前、母がよく本を読んでくれた事を思い出し、涙を抑えきれなくなった。 「どんな話だったか、聞かせて」 「うん」 マサイアスは言った。 「海の波の物語なんだ。 ・・・・・波は温かな太陽を浴び、心地よい風に吹かれながら、ぐんぐん進んでいった。 まわりのあらゆる物に微笑みつつ、浜辺へと近づいていくんだ。 ところが急に、自分の前を進んでいた波が一つまた一つと大きな岩にぶつかって砕け散るのに気づいた。 激しくぶつかって、粉々に砕けて消える。 『ああ、神様』波は叫んだ。 『僕もああやって終わるんだ。まもなく、僕も砕けて消えるんだ』 その時、横を通り過ぎようとした別の波が取り乱した最初の波に気づいて尋ねた。 『どうしたんだい?何がそんなに悲しいの? ほら、こんなに素敵な天気じゃないか。太陽を見てごらん、そよ風を感じてごらん・・・・』 すると、最初の波が答えた。 『だって分からないのかい?ほら、前を行く波はみんな、あんなに激しく岩にぶつかっている。 そして跡形もなく消えていくんだよ。僕らももうすぐ、ああなるんだ』 『ああ、その事か』二番目の波が言った。 『だけど、分からないのかい?君は波じゃないんだ。 君は大海原の一部なんだよ』」 ......................................................................... セルダル・オズカン Serdar Ozkan 1975年トルコ生まれ。アメリカでマーケティングと心理学の学位を取得、その後母国トルコに戻り、イスタンブール・ボスポラス大学で心理学の勉強を続ける。2003年トルコで発表された『失われた薔薇』は稀にみるベストセラーとなり、その後著者自らの英訳により30カ国に翻訳権が売れ、世界中で多くの読者を獲得している。 現在、世界各国でベストセラーに更新中。 http://www.amazon.co.jp/失われた薔薇-セルダル-オズカン/dp/4863320515 セルダル・オズカン ホームページ http://www.serdarozkan.com/ 著者にはイスタンブールでパウロ・コエーリョさんに紹介していただき、 パウロさんのブログにここにアップしたイラストを描きました。 http://paulocoelhoblog.com/2011/03/29/30-sec-read-you-are-not-a-wave/ 時期が時期だけに、実はこのイラストで波を描くのは無茶苦茶抵抗があった。 なので、アップした画像のようにとても抽象的なイラストになった。 しかし、後にセルダルさんからわざわざ「失われた薔薇」を送っていただき、読んでみると物語にそのまま当てはまるようなシーンが描いていたので驚いた。 「失われた薔薇」は第二の「星の王子様」「アルケミスト」と各国で話題になっています。 是非読んでください。 How to save people in Eastern JapanSituation in Eastern Japan is still bad.
More than 10thousand people are found dead in the earthquake and tsunami (most of the victims were killed in tsunami). And nearly 20thousand people are not even found yet. Tsunami swep away the towns and villages near the coast of some of the prefectures. Those disaster area lacks in everything still in this present point. No electricity, no foods, no medicine, no house to sleep, no fuel to burn the stove. So plaese donate for those people. Money is very important for them after the disaster. Japanese Red Cross might be the best organization to donate: http://www.jrc.or.jp/english/relief/l4/Vcms4_00002070.html I also want the people of United Nation to have a conference as soon as possible. Economy will decline for sure after this disaster; many of factories are closed, and due to the power plant problem, farmers can’t produce crops, even in Tokyo lacks electricity. That means that this problem will continue for a long time. The disaster area needs volunteer: Please come to volunteer to Japan. All kinds of people are needed. Still thousands of people are staying at the shelters don’t know what to do. Doctors, carpenters, counselor, chef, all kinds of people are needed to help them. http://www.newrealityinternational.org/volunteer http://hands.org/tag/japan-tsunami/?gclid=CIzy2beO6qcCFQPTbgod7zxCbQ http://workvolunteerabroad.com/tag/volunteer-japan-earthquake/ Sing for the victims: Plaease sing a song for the people badly affected by earthquake and post it in YouTube. I am sure that music will bright up the people. Send relief goods to disaster area: Thousands of people just lost everything, even their houses and cars. If you want to send something directly, please send it to the prefectoral office below. These 4 prefectures were badly affected by tsunami. Print it out and paste one of the 4 and send it to Japan. Don’t forget to write a message on the surface of the package (people might not notice that it was sent for donation). 〒980-8570 仙台市青葉区本町3-8-1 宮城県県庁 JAPAN 〒020-8570 盛岡市内丸10-1 岩手県県庁 JAPAN 〒030-8570 青森市長島1-1-1 青森県県庁 JAPAN 〒960-8670 福島市杉妻町2-16 福島県県庁 JAPAN Please write your idea what to do: Thousands of people seems as if they lost their future. Please write if you have any idea how to reconstruct their washed out community. And to my friends and anyone who is reading this, please re-post, share this article on your webpage. Love & Peace to the world from Tokyo Japan Alchemist StoneHere is the specific story I told to Paulo Coelho about the stone at St Joseph's party: --------------------------------------------------------------- I was asked by Paulo to attend St Joseph's party on early November. The party was to take place at Istanbul on 2011 March But I did not answer immediately, I wrote to Paulo let me think for a while. I was not sure if I could save a money to go to Istanbul. Of course, I did want to attend the party and meet with Paulo but I left this for a while to think. On one late November, my wife Yumi went to her friend's exhibition at Tokyo. This Yumi's friend, is a handicraft artist making necklaces with stones. She invited us to her exhibition, but I was away to do my job so Yumi went ahead to the exhibition, I decided to go to the exhibition after I finish my job. When Yumi entered the gallery, she saw more than a hundred beautiful necklaces hanged on the walls. All of those necklaces were using what they call power stone as a motif. After having a little conversation, the artist asked Yumi which necklace she likes the best. There were several kinds of necklaces hanged on the wall, all of them were using different kinds of stones. Yumi immediately pointed the necklace using a blue stone. "That's interesting that you've chosen that stone" The artist said to Yumi. After an hour or so, after I finished a job, I arrived the gallery. Yumi asked me a same question that she was asked. "Which necklace do you like the best?" After looking at them for a while, I pointed the same necklace out of a hundred necklaces. It was the same necklace that Yumi have chosen. "The name of the stone on this necklace is Aqua Aura" the artist started describing to us. "Aqua Aura is very good for a creative people. The stone makes the people connect to universe. And it is related to throat chakra, so this stone is also very good for the people who sings (note: Yumi is a very good singer)" To be very honest, I was reading many spiritual books, but I did not believe in stone power, but Yumi believed in it. The artist continued: "the stone is a natural crystal but it wasn't originally blue when it was mined from the ground. It is turned blue by an alchemical process using gold. So this Aqua Aura is also called Alchemist Stone" Yumi screamed when she heard this (I didn't scream, but I was very surprised). We were talking what to do about St Joseph's party for many days. Yumi started explaining to the artist why she screamed. After hearing Yumi's story, the artist told us that she is also a Paulo Coelho's fan. So this was the the day we've decided to go Istanbul. I felt like I have to give this stone to Paulo. Here is the description of Aqua Aura I found on website> http://www.crystalskulls.com/sale/aqua-aura.html
