Beyond a road in a wilderness
This was the theme of the second part of the Idaki Shin piano improvisational concert held at Fuchu and I was greatly attracted by its marvelous resonance and aroma when I narrated this message created by him. I envisioned a marvelous light within my life and an unknown future path guided by his music. I felt as if I were walking along a vast wild field with a steady pace surrounded by a pleasant breeze. Eventually I recalled my visit made to Jian, an ancient capital city of Koguryo, and a photo taken at that time in a wild field that I had named a road of my homeland. Actually I envisioned many souls of Koguryo’s people who used to walk along a rice field together with their fellows. Their soul was unified. A sight of the countryside in a rice field like this that did not mean anything to many people, sometimes greatly attracted me and shook my soul when that place was related to Koguryo. I realized the eternal nature of human life and the narrow road was leading to a world of eternity. Having experienced the Idaki Shin concert, I realized an authentic love and started to walk along a path for eternity with great joy. I was grateful as I was discovering more and more about the essential nature of human life that allowed me to overcome obstacles and limitations of the past. I was living a life for realizing an authentic peace all over the world.
