Today, Master Idaki Shin’s “Talk” was live streamed. As always, he takes an interest in and explores things that I would never come up with or think of, and speaks to us about what is necessary for us to live. Today, the subject was words. I have lived my life with a deep understanding that words are life. Once again, I was struck with a shock awakening when he spoke of how words come first, and how words create our very existence. From now on, I feel that I can think about words from perspectives different from before, and I saw what I need to do going forward as I begin to think about words more deeply. From the bottom of my heart, I wish to live in a way that allows me truly to understand this very important talk.
Also today, I suddenly decided to hold events in Fukui and Kyoto toward selling out the December 1st piano and pipe organ concert by Master Idaki Shin at Kyoto Concert Hall. I have long felt the wind of the Hokuriku region and wanted to go there, but I had not been able to find the time to do so. As I happened to have some time available over the next few days, and having set foot in a new land at the October 1st “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered,” I suddenly made the decision, feeling that I wanted to take a new step forward. Moving creates the way forward. I am heading forward with the desire to move, absorbed in the moment, according to life itself and true to my wishes.
