０時頃からぽつぽつと書きものをしていました
気付くと、５時半
時間を忘れるってちょっと嬉しいです
受験の時でも、根を詰めたことがなかったので
先日、実家の最寄駅前の書店に行ったときのこと
お店の場所も規模もそのままですが、
名前だけは横文字に変わってました
昔は何も思わなかったけど、
一度、書店業に足を踏み入れると
小さな街の本屋が営業を続ける難しさがわかります
ぷ～の身ですから、大盤振る舞いはできませんが
今、話題の池井戸さんの文庫を１冊買いました
カバーが手際よくかけられて、
受け取ろうと手を出したとき、
「よろしければ、どうぞ」と、あめちゃん１こ
ささやかでもいい
そこに変化を起こそうとしている営みが
小さな灯を燈すのです
I've written something since 0o'clock.
Now I found 5:30.
I'm pleased to put myself into something to do.
Because I never did that in my school days.
I went to the bookshop near my hometown' station.
The place and scale of the shop wasn't changed,
but the name of it was new one.
Once I didn't think the way to run the shop.
Now I worked in a bookstore, so I found it difficult.
I had no job, and I couldn't buy a lot of books.
Thus I took a book written by Ikeido,
whose novel is so popular as to have made it into a TV drama.
A shopper put the cover on the book quickly, and
I held out my hand to take it.
Then she said to me, "Here you are"
A candy was on her hand.
It's no matter how tiny action is,
The kindness, trying to change the stagnant atmosphere,
make small innovation.
