My day began with heart ache over the state of the world. I felt deep sorrow that so many people have lost their lives, and also the grief and helplessness of those who must continue living after losing them. It was as if my chest were being crushed. Wanting to live in a way that might even be of a little help, I thought it was important to regain my composure and set myself right, so I first brewed and enjoyed a cup of “Tamashii” coffee, roasted by Master Idaki Shin. My heart became calm, and I took a deep breath, went outside to hear the revelation, clearing my heart to the voice of the wind. I was shown a clear message that, in any circumstance, to create a new world is what opens the way for all people to live. With my heart empty and connected to somewhere beyond, what must be done became clear. By carrying out what I envision and the feeling that is born, we can continue changing the environment in which we live. Seeing this path clearly has brought me relief. As today is the day the Idaki Counseling Course will be held, the very place of the root solution, my life, became most vibrant and strength welled up. Life knows that it is most necessary and that it can create new paths. When one's internality changes, the surrounding environment also changes. If each and every person changes, then the society as a whole will change. However long it takes, it begins from one person. I continue to express myself every day without giving up, betting on the possibility that one day the world might suddenly change as, one by one, more people begin to live with beautiful internality. I deeply feel that a society where various problems arise and conflicts occur repeatedly is nothing but sorrowful. That is why I feel keenly how important it is for all of us to put our strength together and create a way to survive. I will continue to live each day moving toward a future where there is hope and possibility. Thank you very much.
