Just remember that everything you do, everything you do, you do for yourself...

and there isn't one.

There is no self.

Summer and winter are so different, because in summer I fling my legs out and the curtains are drawn, the windows are open.

And then I say, 'What can I see?' 'What can I smell?' 'What can I hear?' So this takes me into my day.

In winter I will get up and light my candles instead of turning lights on.

And it's lovely in that semi darkness.

I immediately start appreciating what the day has to offer.

And the cats are sitting out there very often when they've heard that I'm up.

And they come in to say good morning.

And I think, company, how lovely.

I know they're just asking for food, but I like to think there's a little bit of love somewhere along the line.

Everything has its time.

And now it's time to reconnect back into nature...

which is the nature of things, the nature of life, the nature of being.

I see that in the garden and how beautiful those dried flowers are.

How beautiful when the rose petals fall away and you've got the rose hips.

The buds can still be the buds but they're brown and very contained.

And the other ones are flopping open.

It accepts what it is.

You have to go back to that indigenous feeling of observing how beautiful the world is, as it is.

The dying of flowers, the wrinkly old faces, arms, legs, whatever.

And saying 'beautiful... isn't that beautiful.' A lot of people find it scary.

They don't like to think they've lost that peak of life.

And yet if you can see that there is a beauty in itself.

You've lived well.

Maybe you've got wrinkles...

maybe you've got those lovely laughing wrinkles.

And the beauty of withering is actually moving towards a simplicity of living and an acceptance of living.

I recently asked myself the question, 'How do you let go?' It's by facing it.

It's by being with it.

By not fighting against it.

One has to let go of the feeling that you have to be a somebody.

Because I'm not a somebody.

I am, I suppose, just a being exploring life.

And the exploring is more important than the I.

It's not good enough to say you have to just be yourself.

I think you have to know yourself.

You've got to believe in yourself sufficiently to know that what you do is fine.

If you make a mistake, it's also fine.

That's what you learn from.

And unless people can accept that, they're not softened into accepting themselves.

They're searching outside instead of inside.

I am playing with my life.

Not detrimentaly...

just in the beauty of living.

So there's that sense of expanding into a time of my life that I am actually aware of time.

If you start thinking... well maybe it's ten years...

it can't be much more than that.

Maybe I'll get to my grandmother's age and she was 97.

I do sometimes say my goodness, I must enjoy, because you just don't know.

Not out of fear...

out of fear it's going to happen too soon.

And there's so much I want to feel, explore.

Whatever it is... it's to fully appreciate what is left.

It doesn't matter how long it is.

And I am suddenly a bit like a butterfly.

I'm beginning to eat my way out of the chrysalis.

And is that not beautiful... and fly.

I hope I've got a lovely pattern on me.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
