Light and Jellyfish (Pixir X)

Spring flowers

There were few people at the shrine near sunset, and it looked more desolate than when I visited there before. There were no birds.
However, the plum blossoms were in bloom, not forgetting the season, as the old song says,

"人はいさ心も知らず ふるさとは花ぞ昔の香ににほひける"

紀貫之 /  古今和歌集 (905)

"The present will soon become the past,  no one can stop it,

all I can do is watch the seasons go by."

Cherry blossom blooming

Psalm 110 —You are an eternal priest

Heb-En interlinear translation of Psalm 110

תהילים פרק קי

לדוד מזמור נאם יהוה ׀ לאדני שב לימיני עד־אשית איביך הדם לרגליך׃
מטה־עזך ישלח יהוה מציון רדה בקרב איביך׃
עמך נדבת ביום חילך בהדרי־קדש מרחם משחר לך טל ילדתיך׃
נשבע יהוה ׀ ולא ינחם אתה־כהן לעולם על־דברתי מלכי־צדק׃
אדני על־ימינך מחץ ביום־אפו מלכים׃
ידין בגוים מלא גויות מחץ ראש על־ארץ רבה׃
מנחל בדרך ישתה על־כן ירים ראש׃

My Lord (Yhwh), at your right hand, he (Psalmist's master) shattered kings in the day of his wrath.

Wall insulation

I began to repair the wall.

Winter, which had exiled my father from the world was still trying to take the heat out of me, so I drilled into the walls to stop it.

The space between the outer and inner walls of the old house was covered with "SUN" (glass wool?),  but not enough. I removed them and filled its place with Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) forms. By eliminating the voids and making the house more airtight, I am protecting myself from the cold. The work takes time so winter will be over before it's finished.

 

 

 

 

My father

My father died.

It was very cold morning. (−8°C /7:00)

He had a heart attack. 

The hospital where he was being treated was designated as COVID-19 medical institution, and they refused to accept general emergency patients, so he was delayed.

And he didn't survive.

Strong cold front and the medical collapse caused by Coronavirus rilieved him of his long suffering. 

Oh, take away the pain in my heart !

His funeral (eight days after)
The crematorium was crowded

Сон Стеньки Разина (Stepan Razin's Dream)

A modern, familiar version of an old Cossack song about Stepan Razin, also known as Ой, да не вечер or Ой, то не вечер.

 

Ой, то не вечер, то не вечер Мне малым-мало спалось, Мне малым-мало спалось, Ой, да во сне привиделось.	oh   that  not  night    that  not  night to-me   little-little   it-slept to-me   little-little   it-slept oh  yes  in  dream  it-appeared
Мне во сне привиделось Будто конь мой вороной Разыгрался, расплясался, Разрезвился подо мной.	to-me   in  dream   it-appeared as-if   horse  of-me  raven-black he-get-carried-away    he-performed-steps he-was-playful    under  me
Ой, налетели ветры злые Да с восточной стороны, И сорвали чёрну шапку С моей буйной головы.	oh   they-came-flying   winds  strong yes  from  eastern    of-direction and   they-ripped-off   black hat from   of-me   impetuous   of-head
А есаул наш догадлив был, Он сумел сон мой разгадать Ой, пропадёт - он говорил, Твоя буйна голова.	and  aide-de-camp  of-us  perceptive  he-was he  he-was-able-to  dream   of-me  to-unravel oh   he-will-disappear   he  he-said of-you   impetuous   head
