僕は実用品ではない新世代の陶芸や工芸作品に強く惹かれる。クラフトマンシップや確かな技術に裏打ちされた「目の前にある物質そのものの圧倒的な美」に出会うと、アーティストとエンジニアの境界線などほぼ無意味に思えてくる。対して、伝統的なアートや工芸の世界では、作家の生き様や思想、歴史的文脈、権威付けといった「物語(ナラティブ)」に重きを置く。我々が鑑賞してきたのは「作品」ではなくて「人間」なのかもしれない。

数多くのアスリートを勝利に導いたジオ・ヴァリアンテは、タイガー・ウッズらスーパーアチーバーを例に「最高のパフォーマンスを引き出すメンタル法則!」を熱く語る。チクセントミハイの「フロー理論」からニーチェ、フロイトまで賢人の知恵を紹介した揚げ句に、彼はこう締めるのだ。「結局ね、本を読んで、仲間と質の高い会話をして、ゴルフの打ちっぱなしをしてる今の生活が一番幸せなんですよ。お金かからないし。」そこに行くんかい(笑)。

先日書いた「沈黙する」と同じく、「待つ」力や「聴く」力は、人間が持つ、それでいて忘れられがちな知性だと思う。ただ、せっかちな僕はこの「待つ」のが下手だ。何でも先手先手で取り掛かろうとして、かえって時間の無駄や回り道をすることがある。そんな中、鷲田清一さんの著書『「待つ」ということ』に出会ったが、納得できる話やエピソードが満載で引き込まれた。特にこのページでも紹介されている「幸福を小刻みに」という話に共感。
