Scene: Domino Park, Sunday
Ana, Mika, Amir, and the children
The morning sun still cast its light at an angle across the riverside grass.
Ana and Mika were holding a workshop on a cloth spread out in a quiet corner of Domino Park. Together with the children, they gathered “fragments of memory”—sketchbooks and colored pencils, old magazines, dry leaves, acrylic paints. It was as if the lawn itself had gently laid out pieces of time gone by.
“Nadia, where did you find that photo?”
“In a box of my grandma’s things. Everything inside was all brown.”
“But it’s beautiful. Look—here…”
Ana crouched down and pointed to the edge of the sepia-toned photograph with Nadia. Reina paused what she was doing and drew closer.
Reina’s gentle eyes gazed intently at Nadia’s photograph.
“What kind of sound do you think this makes?”
Her murmur wasn’t tracing the surface of the paper, but rather searching deep into a world beyond it—a silent place only she could sense.
Nadia tilted her head slightly.
“...Sound?”
“Yeah. This brown part goes crackle-crackle. And this shadow... maybe the sound of wind stopping far away.”
Reina traced the darkest part of the photo with her finger and closed her eyes.
“When my dad disappeared, Mom said she heard the fridge stop humming. She said... sometimes the sound of something stopping is louder than when it’s there.”
She stood quietly and walked over to the paints. Mixing a little blue and a little black, she created a muted, dusty navy. She touched her brush lightly to the sketchbook, then softened the color with her fingertip.
“This is the sound after.”
What she drew looked like the trail of a shooting star. It was the lingering echo of a sound that had been silenced—something that had risen from deep within her and taken form.
Mika stepped in gently and asked, “What kind of sound is that?”
Reina didn’t smile, but her face softened.
“Maybe… the sound of Grandma trying not to cry.”
“Do you think your grandma was holding her tears back?”
Ana asked this as she smiled at Reina.
What Reina had gathered was the sound of a memory too fragile to become words.
Ana and Mika worked as Community Art Facilitators (CAF), engaging with children’s centers and senior homes. They helped orphans who had lost their parents and elderly people who had lost their youth to give shape to their memories—passing them on in a visible form.
Their goal was not to create “finished artworks,” but to make visible the passage of someone who once lived here.
—To rescue light that slipped through open palms,
to weave what remained in the net of memory,
to thread together words that were never spoken—
Arjun, Ana’s partner with whom she lived, never once opposed her work. In fact, he encouraged it. One time, Ana had asked him why he never said anything about her unstable career.
“Money? Anyone can earn that. But to create something… that’s impossible for most. Only you can do that.”
That was the moment Ana decided to share her life with him.
From beyond the dew-kissed grass at the far end of the park, a man slowly approached. His silhouette, lit from behind, looked hesitant—yet each step was sure.
It was Amir.
The children were scattered across the grass, each one quietly trying to bring “someone” from their inner world to the surface of the page. A still heat hung in the sketchbooks, along with time yet unspoken.
Amir picked up their glances one by one as he walked, finally stopping beside a young girl.
Nadia.
She kept moving her colored pencils, pretending not to notice him. She was silently pasting fragments of an old photograph onto black paper—shadows of a family whose faces were missing. Beside them, she’d painted a tiny red house.
Amir looked at it for a while, then crouched down.
“...Where is that house?”
His voice was soft. Nadia traced the red roof with her finger.
“It’s… where I used to live. But no one’s there now.”
Her voice was so quiet, it almost blended with the sound of the wind.
After a pause, Amir pulled a folded piece of paper from his pocket.
“I drew one too—a house no one lives in anymore. Want to see it?”
He held out a brown-ink sketch. The door was slightly ajar, revealing nothing inside. Only the window had curtains.
Nadia took it and studied it silently. At last, she spoke.
“This window… looks like it’s open.”
Amir gave a surprised little smile.
“If that’s how it looks to you, then maybe that’s what it is.”
Ana was watching from a short distance away.
Amir’s back said nothing, but Nadia’s expression had softened, just a little.
“Good morning. Don’t you think this is a bit much for coincidence?”
Ana said with a smile, yesterday’s events tucked quietly behind her words. Amir replied with a rueful grin.
“Morning. Yeah, it’s not a coincidence. I’ve been watching you. My place is just around here.”
Ana laughed at his words and glanced over at Nadia.
“She rarely talks. Not even to Mika or me.”
With the East River at his back, Amir leaned against the railing. The breeze running along the river ruffled his hair.
“Sometimes you love something so much, you keep quiet.”
He tossed the words gently toward Ana, who leaned on the railing beside him.
“I’ll write that in my notebook,” she said.
Ana looked across the East River. Manhattan’s skyline, still half-asleep, floated faintly in the soft morning light. The buildings across the river stood silent, casting their shadows on the water as if last night’s chaos had been quietly swept away.
Some high-rises already shimmered with reflections. A thin wisp of steam rose from a chimney.
The steel arch of the Williamsburg Bridge lay between Brooklyn and Manhattan, catching the light with a dull glint.
The river breeze brushed their skin, carrying with it the faint metallic scent of salt and iron.
In the distance, a ship’s horn sounded. The morning sun flickered in patches across the water.
Behind the park rose the tower of One Domino Square—a symbol of redevelopment—slicing into the clouds.
On this Sunday morning, just awakened, the voices of children mixed quietly with the murmuring river.
This wasn’t just a backdrop. It was alive. A breathing piece of the map.
Then Ana noticed something swaying on the far side of the current.
At first, she thought it was just a plastic bag. But it floated, sank, and floated again, slowly drawing nearer.
It was cloth.
White, coarse, with a strangely sacred texture. Along the edge, faint embroidery—Arabic, perhaps. Beneath the cloth was the shape of a human body. The head sank gently, arms and legs folded as if in sleep.
The river breeze shifted.
Amid the salt, a trace of metal and blood drifted faintly through the air.
The body drifted slowly, then snagged on the reeds near the shore of Domino Park and stopped.
“...What is that?”
Ana asked, but Amir gave no reply. He just stared at the water.
The edge of the cloth lifted in the breeze, revealing the man’s cheek—pale, stiff, and yet, somehow, peaceful.
So still, it was as if he were still dreaming.
Professor Zakaria Haddad—
Ana would not learn his name until some time later.

場面 ドミノパーク 日曜日 アナ、カナ アミール 子供たち
朝の陽射しが、川べりの芝をまだ斜めに照らしていた。
アナとミカは、ドミノパークの一角に敷いた布の上で、子どもたちと「記憶の紙片」を集めるワークショップを開いていた。スケッチブックと色鉛筆、古い雑誌、乾いた葉っぱ、アクリル絵の具。公園の芝生には、過ぎ去った時間がそっと並べられているようだった。
「ナディア、その写真、どこで見つけたの？」
「おばあちゃんの遺品の箱。ぜんぶ茶色になってた」
「でも、すごくきれい。ほら、ここ……」
アナがしゃがみ込み、ナディアと一緒に焦茶の写真の端を指差すと、レイナが手を止めて近づいた。
レイナの愛くるしい瞳が、ナディアの写真をじっと見つめた。
「これ、なんの音がすると思う？」
そう呟いた彼女の眼差しは、紙の上を辿るのではなく、紙の向こうにある音のしない世界の奥を探っているようだった。
問われたナディアは少しだけ首をかしげた。
「……音？」
「うん。茶色いとこが、パリパリって。あと、この影、ちょっと遠くで風が止まった音がする」
レイナは指で影の濃い部分をなぞり、目を閉じた。
「お父さんがいなくなった時、冷蔵庫が止まった音がしたんだって、お母さんが言ってた。…… 音って、止まる時の方が強くなるんだよ」
言いながら、レイナはそっと立ち上がり、絵の具のところへ歩いていった。
彼女は、青と黒を少しずつ混ぜ、くすんだ紺色を作った。スケッチブックに、ふわりとひと筆落とし、指先でその色を軽く引き延ばした。
「これ、音のあと」
そう言って描いたのは、尾を引いた流れ星のような線だった。レイナの内から湧いたのは、確かに音を止められた余韻で、そこに描かれていた。
ミカがそっと寄ってきて、「それ、なにの音？」と尋ねると、レイナは笑わず、でもうれしそうにいった。
「たぶん、おばあちゃんが泣かないようにしてた音」
「おばあちゃんは、泣くのを我慢していたのかな」
アナはそう返しながら、レイナに微笑んだ。
レイナが拾い上げたのは、“言葉にならなかった記憶の音”だった。
アナとミカはコミュニティアート・ファシリテーター（CAF）として、児童館や高齢者施設に関与している。両親をなんらかの形で亡くした孤児や高齢者の幼少の頃の記憶を形で留め、次へ伝達してゆく。
目的は、『完成された芸術作品』ではなく、『ここに生きた誰かの時間』を見えるようにすることだ。
ーー 手のひらからこぼれ落ちた光を救い、記憶の網目に残ったものを紡ぎ、語られなかった言葉を編む ーー
アナの活動について、同棲しているアルジュンは、決して反対せず、むしろ、賛成してくれていた。アナは、不安定な職業に何も言わないことを不思議に思って彼に尋ねたことがある。
「お金は、僕にも誰でも稼げる。でも、作品を産むのは無理だ。君にしかできないよ」
アナが彼との同棲生活を共にしようと決めた瞬間だった。
パークの奥、まだ朝露を含んだ芝の向こうから、一人の男がゆっくりと歩いてきた。
光を背にして姿を現したその輪郭は、どこかためらいがちで、それでも確かな歩幅を保っていた。
アミールだった。
芝生には、子どもたちが散り散りに座っていた。誰もが自分のなかの“誰か”を、紙の上にそっと浮かび上がらせようとしていた。静かな熱と、まだ語られていない時間が、スケッチブックの上にじっと息を潜めていた。
アミールは、視線を一つずつ拾いながら歩みを進め、やがて、ひとりの少女のそばで立ち止まった。
ナディアだった。
ナディアは気づかないふりをしたまま、色鉛筆を動かし続けていた。
彼女は言葉を使わずに、古い写真の断片を黒い紙に貼りつけていた。顔が消えた家族の影のようなもの。その横に、赤い絵の具で小さく家を描いていた。
アミールはしばらくそれを見つめ、しゃがみこんだ。
「……それは、どこにある家？」
静かに問いかけると、ナディアは指先で赤い屋根をなぞった。
「……前に住んでたところ。でも、今は、誰もいない」
彼女はそう言ったが、声はごく小さく、風の音と区別がつかないほどだった。
アミールは、しばし言葉を選ぶように黙ってから、ポケットから折りたたまれた紙を一枚取り出した。
「僕も、描いたことがある。誰もいなくなった家。見せようか？」
彼が差し出したのは、茶色のペンで描かれた一枚のスケッチだった。ドアが半開きで、内部は見えない。ただ、窓にだけカーテンがかかっていた。
ナディアはそれを受け取り、じっと見つめた。そして、ようやく口を開いた。
「この窓……開いてるように見える」
アミールは、驚いたように微笑んだ。
「そう見えたなら、きっとそうなんだよ」
そのとき、アナは少し離れた場所からその光景を見ていた。
アミールの背中は何も語らなかったが、ナディアの表情が少しだけやわらいでいた。
「おはよう。偶然にしては重なりすぎない？」
アナは昨日の出来事を潜ませ、笑顔でアミールへ話しかけた。アミールは口元を緩めて、苦笑いで返した。
「おはよう。そう、偶然じゃない。僕はずっと君を見ていた。僕の家はこの近所だけどね」
アナは、彼の言葉に笑いながら、ナディアとのやりとりを確認した。
「ナディアは、滅多に口を開かないわ。ミカやわたしにも」
アミールは、イーストリバーを背にして、手すりに腰を預けた。川面につたってやってきた風が彼の前髪を揺らした。
「大好きすぎて、口を閉ざすこともあるよ」
手すりに肘をつき、川を眺めるアナに、彼はそっと言葉を投げた。アナは言葉を拾って、
「わたしのノートに書き留めておくわ」
アナはイーストリバーの向こうに目を落とした。まだ眠気の残るマンハッタンの街並みが淡く浮かんでいる。柔らかい朝の光に照らされて、対岸の建物たちは無言のまま、川面に影を落としている。昨夜の騒ぎがまるで一掃されたかのような静けさだ。
高層ビルの一部はすでに窓をきらめかせ、煙突からは細い湯気のような白煙が立ちのぼっていた。
ウィリアムズバーグ・ブリッジの鋼のアーチが、陽を受けて鈍く光りながら、ブルックリンとマンハッタンのあいだに静かに横たわっている。川風はひんやりと肌を撫で、ほんの少し金属と潮の混じった匂いを運んできた。遠く船の汽笛が鳴り、川面には朝陽がまだらに揺れている。
公園の背後では、再開発の象徴とも言える One Domino Square のタワーが、雲を切り裂くようにそびえていた。
日曜日の朝、目を覚ましたばかりの街に、子どもたちの声と川のさざめきが静かに混じり合う。この風景は、ただの背景ではなかった。生きた地図の一部として、確かにここに息づいているのだ。
アナは、川の流れの向こうに、何かがゆらゆらと揺れているのに気づいた。
最初はただの白いビニール袋かと思った。だが、それは波とともに浮いたり沈んだりを繰り返し、やがて少しずつこちらへ近づいてきた。
布だった。
白く、どこか神聖な手触りを思わせる織りの粗い布だ。縁にうっすらと、アラビア文字のような模様が刺繍されている。布の下には、人のかたちがあった。頭部と思われる部分はゆるやかに沈み、手足は、まるで眠る者のように折りたたまれていた。
川の風がふっと方向を変えた。
潮の匂いにまじって、鉄と血の気配が微かに混ざった。
ゆるやかに流れてきたその遺体は、ちょうどドミノパークの岸辺に近づいたところで、葦の茂みに軽く引っかかり、動きを止めた。
「……あれ、何？」
アナの問いにアミールは返事をせず、ただ川面を凝視した。
遺体の布の端がひるがえり、男の片頬がのぞいた。
青白く、硬直し、しかしどこか穏やかな表情すら残している。あまりに静かで、まるでまだ夢のなかにいるようだった。
教授、ザカリア・ハッダード──
それが彼の名前だったのだと、アナが知るのは、まだ少し先のことだった。

Inscribed stele, which consists of four reassembled fragments. The upper part of the stele, which is sculpted in relief, presents the patron goddesses of the two city-states, Athena and Hera, who shake hands as a sign of agreement, along with seventy five lines of the inscribed text. The inscription, written in the Ionic alphabet, consisted of three resolutions referring to the island of Samos, two of which are retained intact whereas the third survives only partially.
According to the first four lines that have the role of the heading, all resolutions were inscribed in 403/2 B.C. when the secretary of the Council (Boule) was Kephisophon.
Κηφισοφῶν Παιανιεὺς
ἐγραμμάτευε.
Σαμίοις ὅσοι μετὰ το͂ δήμο το͂ Ἀθηναί-
ων ἐγένοντο.
[IG II² 1 ]
Kephisophon from the deme of Paiania was the secretary.
To the Samians who helped the Athenians
The text of three decrees follows. The first decree, which dates to 405/4 BC when the Eponymous Archon was Alexias, offers honors and privileges to the city of Samos, acknowledging the loyalty and devotion they had shown to Athens after the latter's defeat at Aigos Potamoi. The second and third decrees date to 403/2 BC, when the Eponymous Archon was Eukleides. The former reaffirms the honors and privileges granted previously to the Samians, among which the bestowment of citizenship, that is the most important honor given to foreigners. The latter decree nominates honors to the Samian Poses and his sons, who made donations to Athens.

The great thing about the epic landscape is that it presents an entirely different universe from season to season, from day to day, from hour to hour, from second to second, with the ever changing wind, tides, clouds, and sun. A split second with tumbling surf and a sinking sun can make a vast different, resulting in entirely different photographs.

Winslow Homer (1836–1910) is regarded as one of the greatest American painters of the 19th century. Homer utilized both oil and watercolor in depicting 19th century American Sea and landscapes and the daily life's of those who inhabited it. He was sent to work as an artist-correspondent for the new popular illustrated journal Harper’s Weekly in 1861. We have digitally enhanced many of his beautful artworks including “the Gulf Stream”, “Croquet Scene”, “Northeaster” and many more. They are all free to download and enjoy under the CC0 license.

probably my last beach photo till the fall. a good close to the season.
with the time change making sunset an hour later, and the weather getting too hot, and just plain ugly summer weather, the coming months are just not good for beach photography.

Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are focusing on New Year Resolutions. Here are clues to mine. I'm intent on becoming much better at Italian and on revisiting the country (Sicily this time). Other travel plans include a trip to Canada (though it'll be Toronto rather than Montreal or Quebec), and another visit to New York City. And I will work on my golf with the aim of getting my handicap index down from 27.7 to 20. And, almost needless to say, take at least one photo every day.
It's a bit too late for my 2023 plans, but I just heard about a couple who have chosen 23 things to do 23 times during the year (they began with 18 things in 2018); these include journeys on buses numbered 1 to 23. Could be fun.
If you've read all the way to this point, Happy New Year!
