Today again, when I closed my eyes and listened to messages carried by the wind, a path extending far into the distance came into view. It was a path of light. Although there was no sound, it felt as though a sound reaching from far beyond could be heard, and a space filled with profound stillness unfolded. Birds were singing. It was a moment in which I felt deep gratitude for the happiness of being able to dwell within such a beautiful world. I was moved when I recognized that there is no time more precious and wonderful than this. A pure wind blew, connecting heart to heart across the world. From this arose a heartfelt prayer that this wind may truly reach people everywhere, that all lives may be gently embraced, and that everyone may live in health and happiness. Once again today, I reflected on moving forward and devoted myself to living in every moment. I am working to correct the habit whereby, if I lose focus even briefly, my mind returns to the past and slips into a world where I cannot move. When I live “now,” everything is here and the future is here. Through Master Idaki Shin’s piano concerts, I always experience living now from moment to moment, so I know physically what it feels like, which is my big clue. As I devote myself to living in the present, I will express my wish to keep creating a path toward peace in the world and move toward its realization. Thank you very much.
