The days in which the dark world that tormented me for a year is vanishing have opened a completely new time, a new day of a new era. When no darkness dwells within, one can move forward into the future, bathed in light, and live by expressing the inner state filled with radiance. But when darkness remains inside, time stands still and movement ceases. World conditions governed and controlled by darkness have brought fear and anxiety that humanity might lose its very world in which to live. If fear and anxiety confine our movement, the darkness only grows thicker. Yet, within human life, there is light, and there are words of life. To express these words of life in any situation, to open a way forward, and to create the path to live—this, I realize anew each day, is what it means to be alive. September is a new month of the new era. I had envisioned that September would be a time of flight. The long years of being suppressed and confined are dissolving, and the time has come for each person’s true existence to appear. With each day, I wish to express the words of life and create the path for living. Thank you very much.
