「なぜ」を考えない方がうまくいく、または考えない方が健全な場合がある、ということに気づいたのは割と最近のことだ。何でもかんでも「なぜ」と考えて、その背後にある理由や事情を探ろうとすると、かえって自分の判断や行動を曇らせたり、余計な感情を引き起こすことがある。分からないものは分からない。理屈が合わないものに無理に理屈を見出すことは、こじつけや思い込みを生むだけ。いつも「Why」から始めるのが良いとは限らない。そんな割り切りの技を、もっと磨きたい。

サミュエル・ウルマンは「年を重ねただけでは人は老いない。理想を失う時に初めて老いる」と言った。彼は同じ詩『青春』の中で、この「理想」とともに、好奇心、神からの美、希望、喜び、勇気、力の霊感などが人に若さを与えると説いている。ヴィクトール・フランクルが「生き甲斐」と呼んだものも、これに近いものだと思う。僕はこれに「自分が成長していると感じられること」を加えたい。年齢に関わらず、成長を実感できるなら、失望や憂いは些細な問題に過ぎない。

就寝前はジャズ・ピアノかアンビエント、あるいは自分の『Suchness』シリーズをよく聴く。ジャズ・ピアノではソロやトリオの演奏が多く、最近よく聴いているのはデニー・ザイトリンの新作『With a Song in My Heart』。ビル・エヴァンスと比較されることが多いが、彼のピアノはビルの演奏のような内向的で神経質な感じはなく、むしろ大らかで広がりのある響きが特徴だ。精神科医でもある彼の流れるような音の運びは、夜に安心して聴ける。
