The second day
Last night I had a talk event with Mr. Idaki Shin and realized how we could change the surrounding situations and create a new world by expressing something. Later at night I went to the Yasaka tower, closed my eyes and received the same message. While I have been living a life truthful to my innermost wishes, this year I would express and realize them more than ever. I would keep on doing everything I could every day to see what would be waiting next. I knew that while I kept on moving forwards I could discover new things to do to open up my future. Today in daytime together with my fellow staff I started making pickles in the inner garden of Koma gallery Café at Yasaka that I considered as a new business by NPO KOMA for rebuilding our country, and at night more staff who had been busy in the kitchen making food for serving to customers in daytime joined us and everybody engaged in cutting and boiling vegetables. Mr. Idaki Shin has been busy making rice cakes in daytime, coffee, boiling red beans, cooking food for staff members and making miso at night. At Yasaka, he kept on working in the kitchen of the Koma gallery Café while usually his main activities were playing the piano and giving lectures and the Idaki counseling courses. Me too, I created varieties of things while working with him for the Idaki counseling courses and giving my own lectures. This time I engaged in cutting vegetables and though I did not practice in my everyday life a great joy was born anticipating that more new things would happen. As I could do anything my life became a truly joyful one. I would express my excited heart. Every day I was living a very important life, as if I were on a battle field for realizing an authentic peace all over the world. I wondered what would happen tomorrow.
