Today, I held a monthly poetry gathering at Tokyo Komaya. As I tried brewing coffee in a way I had been hoping to offer everyone on the next occasion, it turned out to be an exceptionally superb cup. I was overjoyed to find myself purified in body and mind, reaching a most wonderful state before the gathering began. And from today, with a deep desire to bring forth words that will truly change the world, I still my heart and feel the depths of my inner being. I have always approached this with that intention, yet I had been feeling the limits of not reaching a state where I can express what lies in the very depths of my heart. I have deeply felt that to live without manifesting one's being is to live without meaning—which never left my mind these days—, and today, an expression that revealed my inner being was born. It became the phrase "what I knew before I was born." Since a very young age, I have already had a sense of knowing why I was born. Yet I felt that it would not be understood in this world, that I could not survive that way, so I kept it buried deep within, for all this time. It feels like a dream that the moment to reveal it has finally arrived. From today, I will bring my being into the open and convey IDAKI to the world. Until now, I have shared many photographs of my face and many messages, yet within myself I felt that I was not truly appearing. There was a sense that I was hiding my true self. From today, I feel I have finally come into the open, and I look forward to the moves I will take from here. I am filled with the desire to press forward toward my heartfelt wish of realizing world peace—something I have longed for since childhood. Thank you for this hour of truth.
