Today, at Kaze-no-Hall of Mitaka City Arts Center, Master Idaki Shin’s piano concert was held. True to its name, when the piano resonates, a wind blows—a breeze filled with comfort and bliss. Each note of the piano is so beautiful and rich that hearing just a single sound unfolds a splendid vision before me. Today, it felt as if I were in nature itself. Since the message was about nature, I could clearly see that Master Idaki Shin was expressing that very message through his performance. Being touched in the depths of my being, I was filled with tears and felt wave after wave of deep emotions. I felt a great hope that here, I could truly live. In the second part, my greatest weakness—my tendency to worry—appeared. Yet the moment I realized this at last, it burst apart and blew away. For the first time, I felt hope that I could change. Since childhood, I have been aware of my tendency to worry, and for many years, I longed to be free of it and kept thinking about it. Today, when I clearly saw that this trait was a state being used by the power of darkness, I could make a firm decision to “stop.” Again, I had nothing but tears. From the depths of my being, I was glad to be born and glad to have lived until now—that I was born for this very day. At last, I have reached this moment. My heart overflows with joy, and I feel hope that from now on, I will realize my true, authentic life. I’m filled with joy and happiness that I could share this supremely happy experience with many people. Thank you.
