大寒のゴミ出し照らす月明かり 8 The moon was shining when I took out the trash in the morning on the coldest day.

暦の上では一年で最も寒い日となった。実際に今朝起きて犬の散歩ついでにゴミを捨てる時は、外気温は0.6℃だった。

台所の外のゴミをまとめようとしていた時に、「随分と明るいなぁ？」と感じて振り返ってみたら、満月が煌々と光っていた。

スマホで撮った写真ではあまりそれがうまく伝わらないかもしれないが、寒さの中でも、希望があるんだなと感じた瞬間だった。

It was the coldest day of the year on the calendar. When I actually got up this morning and dumped the trash while walking the dog, the outside temperature was 0.6 ° C.

When I was trying to collect the garbage outside the kitchen, I felt "It's so bright?" And looked back, and the full moon was shining brightly.

The photos I took with my smartphone may not convey that well, but it was the moment when I felt that there was hope even in the cold.
