A Summer Flower
In the summer heat, my heart was calmed by a strikingly bright lily. As the white flower carried wind to cool me off, I spent a moment of ease. I’m now filled with energy from the bottom of my stomach to create a human era, one that is to be realized in future. After I experienced the two concerts of “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered” in Komae, the “On Death” lecture, and the “Gender” lecture, my center of living in the new world has become unwavering. I had wished to start my life over from the age of fourteen, a time when I experienced anguish as complete darkness hovered over me. I began to live in torment. My strength to head towards the future was killed. When I met Master Idaki Shin, I experienced moments of continuous miracles, coming to know that what I had been feeling inside was the truth. I was awakened to life and how a human lives. If I had met him at fourteen, my agonizing experience would have been a life of becoming an authentic human being. Now I find myself starting over from that age. The spring of fourteen fills my heart. This year it looks like I’ll be spending the autumn of fourteen in Paris. “Standing on a Street in Paris” became the title of my short novel; I was urged to express the scene I saw and the aroma I scented. I tremble in my soul to know that it was a light-scape to be realized in future.
At some point I came to be drawn to the Kitakami River and came to know the song “Kitakami-yakyoku (serenade).” I shed tears listening to the lyrics “the soft scent of a white lily…” Meeting a white lily today, I was happy to come across the aroma of the Kitakami River, a river I cherish and scenery similar to my dear homeland. It makes me happy just sensing it in my heart. I’m determined to open the door to peace and create a time when we can come and go freely. It is a true feeling of mine.
