Aroma of water in ancient times

As I went to my atelier near my house a new beautiful music was playing that seemed to generate streams of light. I asked my staffer about the music and she relied that it was created by Mr. Idaki Shin especially for my atelier. I was very moved and my life became vigorous, bearing in my mind a beautiful dream for our future. There was an aroma of dream. In that beautiful space I created a photo book of my poems and four seasons in Kyoto. I took pictures and released the shutter at the moment when my soul was guided to encounter something and simultaneously a poem came into my mind. So the photo book that consisted of the combination of the two expressed magnificently a great historic drama. An aroma of ancient times invited me to discover something. This was a wonderful life. While I had always wished to live a life as a poet and create poems at any time, I was very impressed at the memorial tomb of an Iranian poet in Shiraz at the highlight of a rose flower where many people got together with a book of poems in one’s hand and narrated poems by oneself or together with friends. That was a marvelous light-vision. A life in companionship with a poem was indeed wonderful. So was I, as I could create my photo book in a beautiful space surrounded by the special music expressing streams and cubes of light. My heart was excited and I cherished a great dream for my future. With this photo book in my hand I would envision a future dream as invited by an aroma of water of ancient times.
