体調が悪く歌が歌えない日が2週間続く。疲労と酷暑、年齢を考えずに、新しく始めたことが多かったこの夏、ジワジワと体力が奪われた。
何が好きか、何が大切か考える時期が来たようだ。

Mandela lecture: Five things Barack Obama said

Barack Obama has used his first high-profile speech since stepping down as US president to take swipes at “strongman politics” and politicians’ disregard for the facts. His comments are seen as thinly veiled criticism of the current US administration’s use of what has been described as “alternative facts”.
Here are five key points from his Nelson Mandela lecture, made to the world’s media and an audience of some 15,000 people in South Africa’s main city, Johannesburg.
 Jul 19

Mandela Day is about taking action to change the world for the better. In these young people, I see Madiba’s example of persistence and hope. They are poised to make this world more peaceful, more prosperous, and more just.

4. Viva democracy!

Politicians using “politics of fear, resentment, retrenchment” were rising “at a pace unimaginable just a few years ago,” Barack Obama warned.

Democracy is messy, he said, “but the efficiency of an autocrat is a false promise”.

“It is time for us to stop paying all of our attention to the world’s capitals… and focus on the world’s grassroots. That is where democracy comes from,” he added.

Warning against creeping populism and “strongman politics”, he made the case for liberal democracy, saying that he believed it offered the better future for humanity.

“I believe in Nelson Mandela’s vision” for the world’s future, he said, “I believe that a world governed by such principles is possible”.

“It can achieve more peace and more cooperation in pursuit of a common good,” he added.

“I believe we have no choice but to move forward… I believe it is based on hard evidence. The fact that the world’s most prosperous and successful societies happen to be those which have most closely approximated the liberal progressive ideal that we talk about.”

Things may go backwards for a while, but – ultimately – right makes might,” Mr Obama said. “Not the other way around.”

Voice trainingの後、暑いけどどうしても蓮の花が見たくて光明寺へ。だーれもいない境内。でも本堂の近くまで行くと、ハスの花の、あのたおやかで甘い香りが！！本当に心躍る。
以前は池の端っこに少しだけあった蓮が、数年ぶりに行ってみたら池の半分ぐらいに広がり、甘い香りが遠くまで漂い、それは優雅なひと時をひとり堪能した。
光明寺へ行った次の日の新聞に
「観蓮会」のNewsが・・・。

夏本番、その前から猛暑！！大巧寺は女郎花が咲いていました。軽やかな黄色い花、かわいらしい。
歌は、少しずつ進歩していると思う。疲れていても、歌いだすとすぐに忘れ、歌うことに没頭する。楽しいひと時だ。うまく声が出た日はなおさら。でも、出なくても気にしない！

The Telegraphより（7/15）
France win World Cup 2018 final in breathless six-goal thriller against Croatia

Truly, madly, deeply. We will miss this World Cup like no other. The day after Bastille Day France are champions and deservedly so. But only after the most remarkable, crazy and controversial encounter against a courageous Croatia in which there was a VAR storm, and an actual storm in the skies above Moscow, a first-ever own goal in a World Cup Final, a cool strike from a new global superstar, an horrific goalkeeping blunder by the man who lifted the trophy – and a Pussy Riot pitch invasion.
To secure its status as the best ever World Cup the tournament needed a memorable final. It got it. What a finale it was to this 31-day festival of football, as Gareth Southgate called it, and it was the highest-scoring final since England beat West Germany 4-2 in 1966. Well, they sang football’s coming home. At least the score was the same and while England and their fans will never stop dreaming of what might have been – just 22 minutes from the final, if anyone needed reminding – France have the 18-carat gold, 14-inch, 11lb trophy for the second time ever and the second time in 20 years.

 

Kylian Mbappe: The making of a global sensationKylian Mbappe pictured in 2012

The other boys used to laugh at the way Kylian Mbappe ran down the wing. Not in a malicious way, and not with any intention of upsetting him, but simply because it was so unusual. They would stare, giggling to themselves, as the young Mbappe, with his elongated limbs and oversized head, appeared to leave his left arm behind every time he broke into a sprint.
As the rest of his body flowed, that left arm extended and locked into position. It would jut out like a sail, hanging away from his torso, and whip across his chest with each stride.
Watch him now, five years later, and the kink is harder to spot. Those arms have become swollen with muscle, and the legs pump with such speed that you would…(stop)

こちらも印象的！

Junko MasudaさんのFBより（Sept. 12、2018）

フランス🇫🇷語の綴りではBの前のンはNではなく、Mだと。それをMbappeの名前で覚えるんだ、と。でもエムバペではなく、ンバッペと呼んで下さいね。とーちゃん🐢人ですから。

[b]も[p]も口を閉じて発音。その直前には口を開けて発音する[n]でなく口を閉じて発音する[m]を置く。（次の音の準備）。number, remember, camp, jump・・・。rainbowはrainとbowの意味を崩さないため発音より意味重視！？（このセンテンスはJunkoさんのママ）

ずっと騒いで、騒がれていたワールド・カップも終盤。日本は戦い前の悪評を覆して善戦、ベスト16まで到達。香川選手も1点Goal。「最後の輝き」だったことになるのだろうか。長年の努力と苦闘に感謝を。長谷部と大迫、乾、昌司くんらが輝いて見えた。「おっさん」たちの活躍も光った。
