Rebuilding a new nation

As I drove to Yokohama to deliver a lecture event entitled A Night for Rebuilding a New Nation, clouds were dancing freely over the evening sky that seemed to draw a special symbolic sign of today’s theme. Originally, we planned to stage concerts in Iran this week. However they were postponed all of a sudden, so I acknowledged that this was a message telling us to concentrate ourselves on peace activities in Japan and I had decided to organize a series of leture events starting from today. By coincidence, Mr. Idaki Shin had appeared himself and played the piano celebrating the first day. In the first place we screened an hour long video from the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert held in Kyoto on the 30th Sept. I was greatly moved at heart having realized what I called a Great Romanticism of history. Because the entire world has been transformed into a new one, one could open up a new future of humankind by expressing one’s deepest wishes, keep on thinking about, and take actions for realizing them. My soul trembled. At today’s event I made Andromeda Ethiopia coffee for seventy four pariticipants and I finished making it within only seven minutes. Assistant staff have also efficiently helped me make delicious coffee with an aroma of building a new nation that everyone enjoyed over special madeleines handmade by Ms. Ai. Everyone’s beautiful smilling face was promising a wonderful future and a sign for realizing a truly good society. Mr. Idaki Shin’s sound of the piano greatly touched our heart and I could not resist shedding tears as grievances of my ancestors were nursed, and their souls were also celebrating today’s event out of enormous joy. I felt also that it was an intimate family gathering of Idaki. I encouraged everyone to move forward with us to open up a marvelous future for humankind.
