Been a long time

大震災の起きてからブログを更新できていなかった。起きたことをちゃんと理解するのに大層時間がかかった。特に福島で何が起きているのか理解し、受け入れ、それに対して何をしていったらよいのかを考えるのに思いのほか時間がかかった。何冊も本を読み、幾度かデモや講演会に出かけ、周囲の人々と事故について語る中で、なんとか出来事に対して自分の態度がはっきりしてきた。

(What will tomorrow bring?)
I haven't been able to update this blog since the Earthquake on 3.11. It took me a long time to get my head around what was really going on. Especially, it was a time-consuming process to really find out about and understand the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, to come to terms with it, to come up with what I can and should do about it. After reading several books, taking part in a few demonstrations and lectures, and talking about what to make of what was going on with people around me, I finally began to get an understanding of this crisis that can have grave consequences, and to know what attitude I should take towards it.
