残すところあとひと月になりました。明るい気持ちで過ごしたこの一年。何と言ってもためらっていた白内障手術を3月に受けたこと。経過は良好でよく見えるようになりました。夏は酷暑なりに内なる安らぎと楽しみを、秋には演奏と出会いの場を、冬の備えも進み、サンタクロースも出発しました。私なりの小さな発明と出会いの時々の喜びを続けます。眼前の風景は近付いたり遠退いたりしながら……（美智子）

There is only one month left. This past year has been a bright one for me. Above all, I underwent cataract surgery in March, which I had hesitated to do. It went well and I can now see well. Despite the extreme heat this summer, I have found inner peace and joy, and in the fall I have had a place to perform and meet people. Preparations for winter are underway, and Santa Claus has departed. I will continue to enjoy my own little inventions and encounters. The scenery before my eyes moves closer and further away.
