Blue wind

In the sunset in summer, I found myself standing in front of the Yasaka tower and as I closed my eyes, I envisioned that special blue wind was blowing around to tell me the time to take action. I realized that our era has been greatly changed into a new one. I corrected myself and took a photo of the tower. To my great wonder, the blue wind was manifested in my photo as I had envisioned. My body and mind trembled at this and my heart was greatly excited anticipating a marvelous future. Then from the backyard gate, I stepped down to the inner garden of the Koma gallery Café at Yasaka and the Koma calligraphy board installed there seemed to have smiled at me. I was greatly encouraged as I realized that the world of souls was together with my life. On the first floor, sitting around a big wooden center table with my volunteer staff, we enjoyed having ice coffee in my art glasses called Komasui that I had made a special painting. Also we served it on a plate that I named Koma bon as it came with my metal sheet patch work. They manifested the richness of human internality and made people vigorous and joyful. Night wind made a nostalgic sound of suspended bells that made me recall an ancient memory and mingled with it I could hear the voices of souls of my ancestors who had lived at Yasaka and built the tower. They showed me my way. As I looked up at the tower from the low table and chair it came up in the dark sky full of historic aroma and I was happy to see that this space always manifested Great Being and provided people to enjoy a happy moment in life in the past, now and in the future. Indeed I was guided to create Koma here by souls of my ancestors and Great Being, as I had never dreamt nor imagined to do so before. Like a wind of king Kotai who had greatly enlarged the territory of Koguryo, I was blown by a special blue wind that told me the arrival of the time to take action and completely renew our era. My soul trembled and enormous energy filled my life.
