I worked late today. This morning, at AEON I read the rest of Nayuta Miki's latest book "The Words Toolbox [三木那由他『言葉の道具箱』]". After that, I thought about how our language function can have its very enigmatic, wonderful charm within it. Indeed, when I try to tell how I have been impressed by this book, it starts having a bland sound like "Our communication must be very mysterious" etc. Our languages can deliver various, very complicated ideas with only letters and sounds (and more?). A too clear and ordinary fact... However, after following this book's discussion, I can't stop feeling it must be even an ultimate miracle.
Facing such marvelous books, once I tended to try to "memorize" or even "copy" its content or simply inner logic which is working as a main engine completely. I won't say it must be wrong absolutely, however (maybe because I'm too autistic to memorize something with a diligent mind, putting my ADHD mind aside quietly) it must be simply impossible for me. In other words, all I can do seems to me that I just try to read the books even though I OFTEN make misunderstandings because of this very "careless" attitude.
This afternoon, I went to the place at AEON where I could vote in this ongoing election. The more I try to think about the future of this country or ourselves, the more it can become chaotic/complicated because it can be very unclear/enigmatic how our future can become. Only one vote can have such a strong power/possibility enough to change everything? Even in my mind, such a very sensitive question still exists. However, at least for me, I want to make my will/attitude itself clear to the public space.
Today, I saw my new job coach again in my workplace. We talked about my job a lot. This is the second time we have seen each other, therefore at first, I talked about who I am (for example, I have been working at the same company for about 25 years, I like learning English, I like Jazz, etc). In my impression, she seems a very kind, warm person who I can trust a lot.
