Eating the breakfast I made Oyamakumi 164
Secret base ①
I built a secret base in a vacant lot.
It's just a small hut made up of pieces of wood and cardboard, but if you put a blue sheet on the roof, it looks really nice.
"This is an absolute secret."
When you said that, you wagged your tail as if you understood.
And yet, one day.
When I came home from school, there was a girl sitting inside the base that I didn't know.
I spread my marbles and I'm playing by myself.
"Huh, who?"
When the voice turned over unintentionally, the girl picked up one of the marbles and looked at me.
My eyes are red. Were you crying?
"Sorry, let me stay for a little while."
I can't do anything about it because you won't bark and just sit at the child's feet.
(You traitor.)
I wanted to say that, but I noticed right away.
I thought you already knew about my girlfriend's situation.
What is animal intuition?
Even if I didn't ask if you didn't want to go home, I immediately understood.
Even if you don't use "power," you can immediately feel that there is something "unspeakable" behind your eyes.
I pretended to be in trouble, but in my heart I decided in an instant.
Let's use the base together.
The sunset was beautiful that day.
But I think the girl's profile was many times more beautiful.
I thought that I would never forget the profile of a girl holding a marble to the light at the entrance of the base.
The next day.
When I went to the base, the girl came again.
Can you join me?
Because I already thought we were friends,
"Yeah... it's okay..." I answered a little boring.
But I think our team was able to form because you wagged your tail and went around her.
That is the moment when the secret base was changed into a place for three people.
子どもの頃、誰もが一度は自分だけの秘密基地を持ちたいと思ったことがあるでしょう。私も実際に空き地に簡単な小屋を作って、そこで過ごす時間が大好きでした。この投稿のように、秘密基地はただの遊び場以上の意味を持ちます。それは自分だけの安心できる場所、そして時には新しい出会いや友情を育む特別な空間になるのです。 特に印象的なのは「動物的直感」についての描写です。私も子ども時代に犬や猫の行動で、その場の雰囲気や誰かの心情を察した経験があります。動物は言葉を使わずに多くのことを感じ取りますし、信頼できる仲間だと認めると、途端にしっぽを振ったりそばに寄ってきたりします。こうした動物の行動は、子どもたちの感情の機微や人間関係の変化を象徴的に表現しているように思います。 また、秘密基地に知らない女の子が現れて、彼女の事情を察し何も言わずに受け入れる過程も共感を呼びます。現代社会では子ども同士の関係性の築き方が多様化 し、心のケアが必要な子どもも増えています。そうした中で、見知らぬ人を思いやり、受け入れる姿勢は人間関係の基盤を作る大切な行動です。 私の経験から言うと、小さな秘密基地作りや自然の中での遊びは、子どもの創造性や社会性を育む良い機会です。今日は忙しい日常から少しだけ離れ、子どものころの気持ちを思い出して、誰かと心を通わせる場の価値を再認識してみてはいかがでしょうか？秘密基地はいつでも、誰にでも「第三の居場所」になり得るのです。
