A letter of gratitude

Today with great pleasure I received from a kindergarten at Yamada, a disaster hit village, a thank you letter with a photo of children to whom I had presented specially dyed marbling T-shirts. A light of hope was lit in my heart and I was filled with the sensation of unity with its children. Though I had not intended to receive a letter, I became extremely happy to have acknowledged that my heart was well received by them, while each T-shirt was unique in the universe and was expressing the cosmic nature of human life. I wished that those who put one on would live a vigorous life. Together with my volunteer staff, we have worked very hard with a lot of sweat under the severe heat of summer, and kept on dying T-shirts bearing in our mind smiling faces of children. I was very impressed to know that my marbling designs looked identical to photos of the birth of a star and a galaxy. This was the reason why those who put on my T-shirts would realize the freedom of heart and become capable of actively and swiftly moving around like floating on air. This was how I came to wish many children to put on my T-shirts. My volunteer staff folded them down and made an iron finish them and packed them. This was how we produced them unified at heart. Today’s letter of gratitude was a bridge leading us towards a glorious future. I was very glad as all our staff members were very happy with the letter.
