UBIQUITÉ ユビキテ
私は母であるのでもなく、ママでないのでもない
子育ては葛藤で満ちています。母になりきれない。ママと呼ばれない休日が欲しい。(そう思う時点で母失格?)いつも予定通りに事を進められない。浅くなる呼 吸。カントは言う「『これは正しい事だ』と自分で選択する事に道徳的価値があ り、本当の自由がある」と。しかし、その理性が働かない母という存在に私は煩悶 する。「保育園に行きたくない。ママといたい、ママと遊ぶんだ!」と沿道の電信 柱1本ごとに立ち止まり、しゃがむわが子。泣く叫ぶ。嬉しいが辛い。毎朝定刻に 出勤する夫に対し、片道1時間半かけて園まで送っていく妻。いつしか雨風に晒さ れるひとつひとつの電信柱に第2の自己を重ねていく。そして「母 / 自分」「夫 / 妻」「子 / 親」「仕事 / 私的」と二分化する事そのものが全ての迷妄の根本だと気がつきはじめる。

UBIQUITÉ
I may not be a good mother,
but my child calls me "mummy" every time as if I were a goddess...
Parenting is full of conflicts, and I sometimes doubt my mothering abilities. I often wish for a break where my role does not define me as a parent. Am I not a person beyond motherhood? Sometimes, things don't go as planned, and I may take shallow breaths. Following Kant's philosophy, we can attain true freedom by making rational choices and consciously recognising them as moral obligations. But I agonise over my mother's inability to reason. "I don't want to go to nursery school. I don't want to go to nursery school; I want to be with my mum and play with you! " She cries and screams. I'm happy, but at the same time, I felt drastically struggled. My husband goes to work on time every morning, while the wife takes her child to school, an hour and a half away each way. I find a second self on each utility pole exposed to the wind and rain. I realise that the dichotomisation into 'mother/self', 'husband/wife', 'child/parent' and 'work/personal' is the root of all superstition.
