ちょっと日付は早いですが、本日の代行勤務先のマンションへの通勤途中にあったパン屋さん。お昼休みに行ってみました。おそらくご主人と奥様２人での経営かと思われます。丁寧に作られたパンが並んでおりました。日本の菓子パンの生地はもう少し柔らかい方がよいかと。ちょっと高めの価格設定です。開店から２年になるそうで地元の方に愛されているお店なのでしょう。

湯豆腐やいのちのはてのうすあかり
前置きの一子は吉原の名妓だった三隅一子、再会して一緒に暮らすが、
ほぼ10年後の昭和37年に彼女にも先立たれる。
十句の後に代表句とされる「湯豆腐」の句があります。
その六
一子の死をめぐりて（十句）
８７９ きさゝげのいかにも枯れて立てるかな
８８０ 何か言へばすぐに涙の日短き
８８１ 燭ゆるゝときおもかげの寒さかな
８８２ たましひの拔けしとはこれ、寒さかな
８８３ 戒名のおぼえやすきも寒さかな
８８４ なまじよき日當りえたる寒さかな
８８５ 何見ても影あぢきなき寒さかな
８８６ 身に染みてものの思へぬ寒さかな
８８７ 雨凍てゝ來るものつひに來しおもひ
８８８ 死んでゆくものうらやまし冬ごもり

[あの頃のレコード] David Bowie "REGACY" (2016) Side 3
３月にデビッド・ボウイのドキュメント映画の決定版"Moopnage Daydream"が公開されるので予習がてらベスト盤を聴いてます。本日はSide 3の紹介です。ミック・ジャガーと共演した"4 Dancing In The Street (David Bowie & Mick Jagger)"以外は１９７０年代の曲。当方のデビッド・ボウイのイメージはだいたいこの年代の曲です。紹介文はWikipediaから。バンドの編成のせいかもしれませんがローリング・ストーンズの曲調とよく似てるような。
Side 3
1 The Jean Genie (1972)
2 Rebel Rebel (1974)
3 Golden Years (1975)
4 Dancing In The Street (David Bowie & Mick Jagger) (1985)
5 China Girl (1977)
1 The Jean Genie
"The Jean Genie" is a song by English singer-songwriter David Bowie, originally released in November 1972 as the lead single to his 1973 album Aladdin Sane. Co-produced by Ken Scott, Bowie recorded it with his backing band the Spiders from Mars − comprising Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder and Mick Woodmansey. According to Bowie, it was "a smorgasbord of imagined Americana", with a protagonist inspired by Iggy Pop, and the title being an allusion to author Jean Genet. One of Bowie's most famous tracks, it was promoted with a film clip featuring Andy Warhol associate Cyrinda Foxe and peaked at No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart.
2 Rebel Rebel
"Rebel Rebel" is a song by English singer-songwriter David Bowie. It was released in the UK in February 1974 by RCA Records as the lead single from the album Diamond Dogs. Written and produced by Bowie, the song is based around a distinctive guitar riff reminiscent of the Rolling Stones. Cited as his most-covered track, "Rebel Rebel" has been described as Bowie's farewell to the glam rock movement[3] that he had helped initiate, as well as being a proto-punk track.[2] Two versions of the song were recorded: the well-known UK single release and the shorter US single release, which featured added background vocals, extra percussion and a new arrangement.
3 Golden Years
"Golden Years" is a song by English musician David Bowie, released by RCA Records on 21 November 1975 as the lead single from his tenth studio album Station to Station (1976). Partially written before Bowie began shooting for the film The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), the song was mostly compiled in the studio and was the first track completed for the album. Some biographers say that the song was written for Elvis Presley, who turned it down, while his wife Angie claimed it was written for her. Recording took place at Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles during September 1975. The song was co-produced by David Bowie and Harry Maslin and features contributions from Carlos Alomar and Earl Slick on guitar, George Murray on bass and Dennis Davis on drums; Bowie's old friend Warren Peace contributed backing vocals and assisted with the vocal arrangements. Due to Bowie's heavy cocaine use, he later recalled remembering almost nothing of Station to Station's production.
4 Dancing In The Street (David Bowie & Mick Jagger)
A hit cover version of "Dancing in the Street" was recorded by the English rock icons Mick Jagger and David Bowie as a duo in 1985, to raise money for the Live Aid famine relief cause. The original plan was to perform a track together live, with Bowie performing at Wembley Stadium and Jagger at John F. Kennedy Stadium, until it was realized that the satellite link-up would cause a half-second delay that would make this impossible unless either Bowie or Jagger mimed their contribution, something neither artist was willing to do.In June 1985, Bowie was recording his contributions to the Absolute Beginners soundtrack at Westside Studios with Clive Langer & Alan Winstanley, and so Jagger arranged to fly in to record the track there. A rough mix of the track was completed in just four hours on June 29, 1985.[65] Thirteen hours after the start of recording, the song and video were completed. Jagger arranged for some minor musical overdubs with Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero in New York City. The single version (Bob Clearmountain mix) is slightly different from the version used on David Bowie's Best of Bowie compilation and others, with the vocals and guitar brought out more and a slightly shorter intro.
5 China Girl
"China Girl" is a song written by Iggy Pop and David Bowie during their years in Berlin, first appearing on Pop's debut solo album, The Idiot (1977). The song became more widely known when it was re-recorded by Bowie, who released it as the second single from his most commercially successful album, Let's Dance (1983). The UK single release of Bowie's version reached No. 2 for one week on 14 June 1983, while the US release reached No. 10.

So I've been thinking about
the difference between the resume virtues
and the eulogy virtues.

So I've been thinking about the difference between the resume virtues and the eulogy virtues. The resume virtues are the ones you put on your resume, which are the skills you bring to the marketplace. The eulogy virtues are the ones that get mentioned in the eulogy, which are deeper: who are you, in your depth, what is the nature of your relationships, are you bold, loving, dependable, consistency? And most of us, including me, would say that the eulogy virtues are the more important of the virtues. But at least in my case, are they the ones that I think about the most? And the answer is no.
So I've been thinking about that problem, and a thinker who has helped me think about it is a guy named Joseph Soloveitchik, who was a rabbi who wrote a book called "The Lonely Man Of Faith" in 1965. Soloveitchik said there are two sides of our natures, which he called Adam I and Adam II. Adam I is the worldly, ambitious, external side of our nature. He wants to build, create, create companies, create innovation. Adam II is the humble side of our nature. Adam II wants not only to do good but to be good, to live in a way internally that honors God, creation and our possibilities. Adam I wants to conquer the world. Adam II wants to hear a calling and obey the world. Adam I savors accomplishment. Adam II savors inner consistency and strength. Adam I asks how things work. Adam II asks why we're here. Adam I's motto is "success." Adam II's motto is "love, redemption and return."
And Soloveitchik argued that these two sides of our nature are at war with each other. We live in perpetual self-confrontation between the external success and the internal value. And the tricky thing, I'd say, about these two sides of our nature is they work by different logics. The external logic is an economic logic: input leads to output, risk leads to reward. The internal side of our nature is a moral logic and often an inverse logic. You have to give to receive. You have to surrender to something outside yourself to gain strength within yourself. You have to conquer the desire to get what you want. In order to fulfill yourself, you have to forget yourself. In order to find yourself, you have to lose yourself.
We happen to live in a society that favors Adam I, and often neglects Adam II. And the problem is, that turns you into a shrewd animal who treats life as a game, and you become a cold, calculating creature who slips into a sort of mediocrity where you realize there's a difference between your desired self and your actual self. You're not earning the sort of eulogy you want, you hope someone will give to you. You don't have the depth of conviction. You don't have an emotional sonorousness. You don't have commitment to tasks that would take more than a lifetime to commit.
I was reminded of a common response through history of how you build a solid Adam II, how you build a depth of character. Through history, people have gone back into their own pasts, sometimes to a precious time in their life, to their childhood, and often, the mind gravitates in the past to a moment of shame, some sin committed, some act of selfishness, an act of omission, of shallowness, the sin of anger, the sin of self-pity, trying to be a people-pleaser, a lack of courage. Adam I is built by building on your strengths. Adam II is built by fighting your weaknesses. You go into yourself, you find the sin which you've committed over and again through your life, your signature sin out of which the others emerge, and you fight that sin and you wrestle with that sin, and out of that wrestling, that suffering, then a depth of character is constructed. And we're often not taught to recognize the sin in ourselves, in that we're not taught in this culture how to wrestle with it, how to confront it, and how to combat it. We live in a culture with an Adam I mentality where we're inarticulate about Adam II.
Finally, Reinhold Niebuhr summed up the confrontation, the fully lived Adam I and Adam II life, this way: "Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope. Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we must be saved by love. No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own standpoint. Therefore we must be saved by that final form of love, which is forgiveness."
Thanks.

１９６０年前後の生まれの世代は、
おそらくそういう時代に生きる、
日本の歴史の中で、
いや世界の歴史の中での
先駆者になると思われます。
こんな時代（超高齢化社会）になったのは、人類史上でおそらく初めてです。そのため、働く環境など、還暦以降の人生を受け入れる社会の仕組みは、ほぼ未整備です。それでもこれからは、日本に生まれた人は、ほぼ間違いなく９０歳（あるいはそれ以上）まで生きる社内になります。１９６０年前後の生まれの世代は、おそらくそういう時代に生きる、日本の歴史の中で、いや世界の歴史の中での先駆者になると思われます。
